public class ParserConfigurationSettings
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLComponentManager

This class implements the basic operations for managing parser configuration features and properties. This utility class can be used as a base class for parser configurations or separately to encapsulate a number of parser settings as a component manager.

This class can be constructed with a "parent" settings object (in the form of an `XMLComponentManager`) that allows parser configuration settings to be "chained" together.

Constructor Detail

### ParserConfigurationSettings

    public ParserConfigurationSettings()

  Default Constructor.

### ParserConfigurationSettings

    public ParserConfigurationSettings(org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLComponentManager parent)

  Constructs a parser configuration settings object with a parent settings object.

Method Detail

### addRecognizedFeatures

    public void addRecognizedFeatures(java.lang.String[] featureIds)

  Allows a parser to add parser specific features to be recognized and managed by the parser configuration.
  Parameters:
    `featureIds` - An array of the additional feature identifiers to be recognized.

### setFeature

    public void setFeature(java.lang.String featureId,
                           boolean state)
                    throws org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException

### addRecognizedProperties

    public void addRecognizedProperties(java.lang.String[] propertyIds)

  Allows a parser to add parser specific properties to be recognized and managed by the parser configuration.
  Parameters:
    `propertyIds` - An array of the additional property identifiers to be recognized.

### setProperty

    public void setProperty(java.lang.String propertyId,
                            java.lang.Object value)
                     throws org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException

  setProperty
  Parameters:
    `propertyId` -
    `value` -
  Throws:
    `org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException` - If the requested feature is not known.

### getFeature

    public boolean getFeature(java.lang.String featureId)
                       throws org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException

  Returns the state of a feature.
  Specified by:
    `getFeature` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLComponentManager`
  Parameters:
    `featureId` - The feature identifier.
  Returns:
    true if the feature is supported
  Throws:
    `org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException` - Thrown for configuration error. In general, components should only throw this exception if it is really a critical error.

### getProperty

    public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String propertyId)
                                 throws org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException

  Returns the value of a property.
  Specified by:
    `getProperty` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLComponentManager`
  Parameters:
    `propertyId` - The property identifier.
  Returns:
    the value of the property
  Throws:
    `org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException` - Thrown for configuration error. In general, components should only throw this exception if it is really a critical error.

### checkFeature

    protected void checkFeature(java.lang.String featureId)
                         throws org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException

  Check a feature. If feature is known and supported, this method simply returns. Otherwise, the appropriate exception is thrown.
  Parameters:
    `featureId` - The unique identifier (URI) of the feature.
  Throws:
    `org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException` - If the requested feature is not known.

### checkProperty

    protected void checkProperty(java.lang.String propertyId)
                          throws org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException

  Check a property. If the property is known and supported, this method simply returns. Otherwise, the appropriate exception is thrown.
  Parameters:
    `propertyId` - The unique identifier (URI) of the property being set.
  Throws:
    `org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLConfigurationException` - If the requested feature is not known.
