uk.ac.starlink.ttools.copy
Class VotCopyHandler

java.lang.Object
  extended by uk.ac.starlink.ttools.copy.VotCopyHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
ContentHandler, LexicalHandler, uk.ac.starlink.votable.TableHandler

public class VotCopyHandler
extends Object
implements ContentHandler, LexicalHandler, uk.ac.starlink.votable.TableHandler

SAX content handler which takes SAX events and converts them to an output stream in a VOTable-sensitive way. As far as is possible given the SAX model, each input SAX event is sent to the output unchanged apart from events within a DATA element, which are written in one of the VOTable encodings as selected by the user.

One exception to the rule is that, for implementation-specific reasons, FIELD elements with datatype="unsignedByte" are changed to have datatype="short" instead.

Constructor Detail

VotCopyHandler

public VotCopyHandler(boolean strict,
                      uk.ac.starlink.votable.DataFormat format,
                      boolean inline,
                      String base,
                      boolean cache,
                      uk.ac.starlink.table.StoragePolicy policy)
Constructor. The copy can be done in either cached or streamed mode, determined by the cache parameter. In streamed mode, each row encountered in the input SAX stream is copied to the output stream as soon as it is encountered. In cached mode, the whole table is assembled first, and then written out at the end of the input. Streamed mode is more efficient, but may not be possible under some circumstances, e.g. for FITS output when the number of rows is not known in advance. If a streamed copy is attempted when it's not possible, it will fail with a UnrepeatableSequenceException (wrapped in a SAXException).

Parameters:
strict - whether to effect strict interpretation of the VOTable standard
format - encoding type for output DATA elements; may be null for DATA-less output
inline - true for tables written inline, false for tables written to an href-referenced stream
base - base table location; used to construct URIs for out-of-line table streams (only used if inline=false)
cache - whether tables will be cached prior to writing
policy - storage policy for cached tables
