## Class FilterXmlObject

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.xmlbeans.FilterXmlObject

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    DelegateXmlObject, SimpleValue, XmlObject, XmlTokenSource

      public abstract class FilterXmlObject
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements XmlObject, SimpleValue, DelegateXmlObject

  A FilterXmlObject delegates to some other XmlObject, which it can use as its basic source of data, possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional functionality. The class FilterXmlObject itself simply overrides all methods of XmlObject with versions that pass all requests to the underlying XmlObject. Subclasses of FilterXmlObject may further override some of these methods and may also provide additional methods and fields.

  Note: it is important that FilterXmlObject has no storage (i.e., no non-transient fields), because subclasses may be serializable and adding storage would break the serialization format.

    - #### schemaType

          public SchemaType schemaType()

      Specified by:
        `schemaType` in interface `XmlObject`
      Returns:
        The schema type for this instance. This is a permanent, unchanging property of the instance.

    - #### validate

          public boolean validate()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Does a deep validation of the entire subtree under the object, but does not validate the parents or siblings of the object if the object is in the interior of an xml tree.
      Specified by:
        `validate` in interface `XmlObject`
      Returns:
        true if the contents of this object are valid accoring to schemaType().

    - #### validate

          public boolean validate(XmlOptions options)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`

      Just like validate(), but with options.

      If you wish to collect error messages and locations while validating, use the `XmlOptions.setErrorListener(java.util.Collection)` method. With that method, you can specify an object in which to store messages related to validation. The following is a simple example.

           // Create an XmlOptions instance and set the error listener.
           XmlOptions validateOptions = new XmlOptions();
           ArrayList errorList = new ArrayList();
           validateOptions.setErrorListener(errorList);

           // Validate the XML.
           boolean isValid = newEmp.validate(validateOptions);

           // If the XML isn't valid, loop through the listener's contents,
           // printing contained messages.
           if (!isValid)
           {
                for (int i = 0; i < errorList.size(); i++)
                {
                    XmlError error = (XmlError)errorList.get(i);

                    System.out.println("\n");
                    System.out.println("Message: " + error.getMessage() + "\n");
                    System.out.println("Location of invalid XML: " +
                        error.getCursorLocation().xmlText() + "\n");
                }
           }

      Specified by:
        `validate` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `options` - An object that implements the `Collection` interface.
      Returns:
        true if the contents of this object are valid accoring to schemaType().

    - #### selectPath

          public XmlObject[] selectPath(java.lang.String path)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Selects a path. Path can be a string or precompiled path String.

      The path must be a relative path, where "." represents the element or attribute containg this XmlObject, and it must select only other elements or attributes. If a non-element or non-attribute is selected, an unchecked exception is thrown.

      The array that is returned contains all the selected XmlObjects, within the same document, listed in document order. The actual array type of the result is inferred from the closest common base type of selected results.

      Here is an example of usage. Suppose we have a global element definition for "owner" whose type is "person":

             <schema targetNamespace="http://openuri.org/sample">
                <element name="owner" type="person"/>
                <complexType name="person">
                   [...]
                </complexType>
             </schema>

      and suppose "owner" tags can be scattered throughout the document. Then we can write the following code to find them all:

           import org.openuri.sample.Person;
           import org.apache.xmlbeans.*;
           [...]
             XmlObject xobj = XmlObject.Factory.parse(myFile);
             Person[] results;
             results = (Person[])xobj.selectPath(
                "declare namespace s='http://www.openuri.org/sample' " +
                ".//s:owner");

      Notice the way in which namespace declarations are done in XPath 2.0. Since XPath can only navigate within an XML document - it cannot construct new XML - the resulting XmlObjects all reside in the same XML document as this XmlObject itself.
      Specified by:
        `selectPath` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `path` - the xpath
      Returns:
        an array of all selected XmlObjects

    - #### selectPath

          public XmlObject[] selectPath(java.lang.String path,
                                        XmlOptions options)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Selects a path, applying options.
      Specified by:
        `selectPath` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `path` - the xpath
        `options` - the options used to execute the xpath
      Returns:
        an array of all selected XmlObjects
      See Also:
        `XmlObject.selectPath(String)`

    - #### execQuery

          public XmlObject[] execQuery(java.lang.String query)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Executes a query. Query can be a string or precompiled query String.

      An XQuery is very similar to an XPath, except that it also permits construction of new XML. As a result, the XmlObjects that are returned from execQuery are in newly created documents, separate from the XmlObject on which the query is executed.

      Syntax and usage is otherwise similar to selectPath.

      Specified by:
        `execQuery` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `query` - The XQuery expression
      Returns:
        an array of all selected XmlObjects
      See Also:
        `XmlObject.selectPath(String)`

    - #### execQuery

          public XmlObject[] execQuery(java.lang.String query,
                                       XmlOptions options)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Executes a query with options. Use the options parameter to specify the following:

      To specify this | Use this method
      --- | ---
      The document type for the root element. | `XmlOptions.setDocumentType(org.apache.xmlbeans.SchemaType)`
      To replace the document element with the specified QName when constructing the resulting document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadReplaceDocumentElement(javax.xml.namespace.QName)`
      To strip all insignificant whitespace when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadStripWhitespace()`
      To strip all comments when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadStripComments()`
      To strip all processing instructions when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadStripProcinsts()`
      A map of namespace URI substitutions to use when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadSubstituteNamespaces(java.util.Map)`
      Additional namespace mappings to be added when constructing a document. | `XmlOptions.setLoadAdditionalNamespaces(java.util.Map)`
      To trim the underlying XML text buffer immediately after constructing a document, resulting in a smaller memory footprint. | `XmlOptions.setLoadTrimTextBuffer()`
      Whether value facets should be checked as they are set. | `XmlOptions.setValidateOnSet()`

      Specified by:
        `execQuery` in interface `XmlObject`
      Parameters:
        `query` - The XQuery expression.
        `options` - Options as described.
      Returns:
        an array of all selected XmlObjects
      See Also:
        `XmlObject.execQuery(String)`

    - #### changeType

          public XmlObject changeType(SchemaType newType)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Changes the schema type associated with this data and returns a new XmlObject instance whose schemaType is the new type.

      Returns the new XmlObject if the type change was successful, the old XmlObject if no changes could be made.

      Certain type changes may be prohibited in the interior of an xml tree due to schema type system constraints (that is, due to a parent container within which the newly specified type is not permissible), but there are no constraints at the roottype changes are never prohibited at the root of an xml tree.

      If the type change is allowed, then the new XmlObject should be used rather than the old one. The old XmlObject instance and any other XmlObject instances in the subtree are permanently invalidated and should not be used. (They will return XmlValueDisconnectedException if you try to use them.) If a type change is done on the interior of an Xml tree, then xsi:type attributes are updated as needed.

      Specified by:
        `changeType` in interface `XmlObject`
      Returns:
        a new XmlObject instance whose schemaType is the new type

    - #### isNil

          public boolean isNil()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Note that in order to be nil, the value must be in an element, and the element containing the value must be marked as nillable in the schema.
      Specified by:
        `isNil` in interface `XmlObject`
      Returns:
        true if the value is nil.

    - #### setNil

          public void setNil()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Sets the value to nil. The element containing the value must be marked as nillable in the schema.
      Specified by:
        `setNil` in interface `XmlObject`

    - #### isImmutable

          public boolean isImmutable()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Immutable values do not have a position in a tree; rather, they are stand-alone simple type values. If the object is immutable, the equals() methods tests for value equality, and the object can be used as the key for a hash.
      Specified by:
        `isImmutable` in interface `XmlObject`
      Returns:
        true if the value is an immutable value.

    - #### set

          public XmlObject set(XmlObject srcObj)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Set the value/type of this XmlObject to be a copy of the source XmlObject. Because the type of the source may be different than this target, this XmlObject may become defunct. In this case the new XmlObject is returned. If no type change happens, the same this will be returned.
      Specified by:
        `set` in interface `XmlObject`

    - #### copy

Note: The result object will be in the same synchronization domain as the source, and additional synchronization is required for concurent access. To use a different synchronization domain use setCopyUseNewSynchronizationDomain option when creating the original XmlObject.

    - #### valueEquals

          public boolean valueEquals(XmlObject obj)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      True if the xml values are equal. Two different objects (which are distinguished by equals(obj) == false) may of course have equal values (valueEquals(obj) == true).

      Usually this method can be treated as an ordinary equvalence relation, but actually it is not is not transitive. Here is a precise specification:

      There are two categories of XML object: objects with a known instance type, and objects whose only known type is one of the ur-types (either AnyType or AnySimpleType). The first category is compared in terms of logical value spaces, and the second category is compared lexically.

      Within each of these two categories, valueEquals is a well-behaved equivalence relation. However, when comparing an object of known type with an object with ur-type, the comparison is done by attempting to convert the lexical form of the ur-typed object into the other type, and then comparing the results. Ur-typed objects are therefore treated as lexical wildcards and may be equal to objects in different value spaces, even though the objects in different value spaces are not equal to each other.

      For example, the anySimpleType value "1" will compare as an equalValue to the string "1", the float value "1.0", the double value "1.0", the decimal "1", and the GYear "1", even though all these objects will compare unequal to each other since they lie in different value spaces. Note: as of XMLBeans 2.2.1 only implemented for simple type values.

    - #### compareTo

          public int compareTo(java.lang.Object obj)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      Impelements the Comparable interface by comparing two simple xml values based on their standard XML schema ordering. Throws a ClassCastException if no standard ordering applies, or if the two values are incomparable within a partial order.
      Specified by:
        `compareTo` in interface `XmlObject`

    - #### compareValue

          public int compareValue(XmlObject obj)

      Description copied from interface: `XmlObject`
      This comparison method is similar to compareTo, but rather than throwing a ClassCastException when two values are incomparable, it returns the number 2. The result codes are -1 if this object is less than obj, 1 if this object is greater than obj, zero if the objects are equal, and 2 if the objects are incomparable.

        `compareValue` in interface `XmlObject`

    - #### monitor

          public java.lang.Object monitor()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns the synchronization object for the document. If concurrent multithreaded access to a document is required, the access should should be protected by synchronizing on this monitor() object. There is one monitor per XML document tree.

    - #### newCursor

          public XmlCursor newCursor()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new XML cursor. A cursor provides random access to all the tokens in the XML data, plus the ability to extract strongly-typed XmlObjects for the data. If the data is not read-only, the XML cursor also allows modifications to the data. Using a cursor for the first time typically forces the XML document into memory.

    - #### newXMLInputStream

          public org.apache.xmlbeans.xml.stream.XMLInputStream newXMLInputStream()

      Deprecated. Deprecated by XMLStreamReader from STaX - jsr173 API.
      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new XmlInputStream. The stream starts at the current begin-tag or begin-document position and ends at the matching end-tag or end-document. This is a fail-fast stream, so if the underlying data is changed while the stream is being read, the stream throws a ConcurrentModificationException. Throws an IllegalStateException if the XmlTokenSource is not positioned at begin-tag or begin-document (e.g., if it is at an attribute).

    - #### newXMLStreamReader

          public javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader newXMLStreamReader()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new XMLStreamReader. The stream starts at the current begin-tag or begin-document position and ends at the matching end-tag or end-document. This is a fail-fast stream, so if the underlying data is changed while the stream is being read, the stream throws a ConcurrentModificationException.

    - #### xmlText

          public java.lang.String xmlText()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns standard XML text.

      The text returned represents the document contents starting at the current begin-tag or begin-document and ending at the matching end-tag or end-document. This is same content as newReader, but it is returned as a single string.

      Throws an IllegalStateException if the XmlTokenSource is not positioned at begin-tag or begin-document (e.g., if it is at an attribute).

      Note that this method does not produce XML with the XML declaration, including the encoding information. To save the XML declaration with the XML, see `XmlTokenSource.save(OutputStream)` or `XmlTokenSource.save(OutputStream, XmlOptions)`.

    - #### newInputStream

          public java.io.InputStream newInputStream()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new stream containing standard XML text, encoded according to the given encoding. The byte stream contains contents starting at the current begin-tag or begin-document and ending at the matching end-tag or end-document. The specified encoding is used and also emitted in a PI at the beginning of the stream. This is a fail-fast stream, so if the underlying data is changed while the stream is being read, the stream throws a ConcurrentModificationException. Throws an IllegalStateException if the XmlTokenSource is not positioned at begin-tag or begin-document (e.g., if it is at an attribute).

        `newInputStream` in interface `XmlTokenSource`

    - #### newReader

          public java.io.Reader newReader()

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`
      Returns a new character reader containing XML text. The contents of the reader represents the document contents starting at the current begin-tag or begin-document and ending at the matching end-tag or end-document. No encoding annotation will be made in the text itself. This is a fail-fast reader, so if the underlying data is changed while the reader is being read, the reader throws a ConcurrentModificationException. Throws an IllegalStateException if the XmlTokenSource is not positioned at begin-tag or begin-document (e.g., if it is at an attribute).

      Description copied from interface: `XmlTokenSource`

      Just like newXMLInputStream() but with any of a number of options. Use the options parameter to specify the following:

      To specify this | Use this method
      --- | ---
      The character encoding to use when converting the character data in the XML to bytess. | `XmlOptions.setCharacterEncoding(java.lang.String)`
      Prefix-to-namespace mappings that should be assumed when saving this XML. This is useful when the resulting XML will be part of a larger XML document, ensuring that this inner document will take advantage of namespaces defined in the outer document. | `XmlOptions.setSaveImplicitNamespaces(java.util.Map)`
      Suggested namespace prefixes to use when saving. Used only when a namespace attribute needs to be synthesized. | `XmlOptions.setSaveSuggestedPrefixes(java.util.Map)`
      That namespace attributes should occur first in elements when the XML is saved. By default, they occur last. | `XmlOptions.setSaveNamespacesFirst()`
      The XML should be pretty printed when saved. Note that this should only be used for debugging. | `XmlOptions.setSavePrettyPrint()`
      The number of spaces to use when indenting for pretty printing. The default is 2. | `XmlOptions.setSavePrettyPrintIndent(int)`
      The additional number of spaces indented from the left for pretty printed XML. | `XmlOptions.setSavePrettyPrintOffset(int)`
      To minimize the number of namespace attributes generated for the saved XML. Note that this can reduce performance significantly. | `XmlOptions.setSaveAggresiveNamespaces()`
      To reduce the size of the saved document by allowing the use of the default namespace. Note that this can potentially change the semantic meaning of the XML if unprefixed QNames are present as the value of an attribute or element. | `XmlOptions.setUseDefaultNamespace()`
      To filter out processing instructions with the specified target name. | `XmlOptions.setSaveFilterProcinst(java.lang.String)`
      Change the QName of the synthesized root element when saving. This replaces "xml-fragment" with "fragment" in the namespace http://www.openuri.org/fragment | `XmlOptions.setSaveUseOpenFrag()`
      Saving should begin on the element's contents. | `XmlOptions.setSaveInner()`
      Saving should begin on the element, rather than its contents. | `XmlOptions.setSaveOuter()`
      To rename the document element, or to specify the document element for this XML. | `XmlOptions.setSaveSyntheticDocumentElement(javax.xml.namespace.QName)`
