au.id.jericho.lib.html.nodoc.SequentialListSegment
au.id.jericho.lib.html.Attributes
public final class Attributes
extends au.id.jericho.lib.html.nodoc.SequentialListSegment
Attribute
objects present within a particular StartTag
.
This segment starts at the end of the start tag's name
and ends at the end of the last attribute.
The attributes in this list are a representation of those found in the source document and are not modifiable.
The OutputDocument.replace(Attributes,Map)
and OutputDocument.replace(Attributes, boolean convertNamesToLowerCase)
methods
provide the means to add, delete or modify attributes and their values in an OutputDocument
.
As of version 2.4, any server tags encountered inside the attributes area of a non-server tag
no longer interfere with the parsing of the attributes.
If too many syntax errors are encountered while parsing a start tag's attributes, the parser rejects the entire start tag
and generates a log entry.
The threshold for the number of errors allowed can be set using the setDefaultMaxErrorCount(int)
static method.
Obtained using the StartTag.getAttributes()
method, or explicitly using the Source.parseAttributes(int pos, int maxEnd)
method.
It is common for instances of this class to contain no attributes.
See also the XML 1.0 specification for attributes.
Note that before version 2.0 the segment ended just before the tag's
closing delimiter instead of at the end of the last attribute.

public static String generateHTML(Map attributesMap)
Returns the contents of the specified attributes map as HTML attribute name/value pairs. Each attribute (including the first) is preceded by a single space, and all values are encoded and enclosed in double quotes. The map keys must be of typeString
and values must be objects that implement theCharSequence
interface. Anull
value represents an attribute with no value.
- Parameters:
attributesMap
- a map containing attribute name/value pairs.
- Returns:
- the contents of the specified attributes map as HTML attribute name/value pairs.
- See Also:
StartTag.generateHTML(String tagName, Map attributesMap, boolean emptyElementTag)
public Attribute get(String name)
Returns theAttribute
with the specified name (case insensitive). If more than one attribute exists with the specified name (which is illegal HTML), the first is returned.
- Parameters:
name
- the name of the attribute to get.
- Returns:
- the attribute with the specified name, or
null
if no attribute with the specified name exists.
- See Also:
getValue(String name)
public int getCount()
Returns the number of attributes. This is equivalent to calling thesize()
method specified in theList
interface.
- Overrides:
- getCount in interface au.id.jericho.lib.html.nodoc.SequentialListSegment
- Returns:
- the number of attributes.
public String getDebugInfo()
Returns a string representation of this object useful for debugging purposes.
- Overrides:
- getDebugInfo in interface Segment
- Returns:
- a string representation of this object useful for debugging purposes.
public static int getDefaultMaxErrorCount()
Returns the default maximum error count allowed when parsing attributes. The system default value is 2. When searching for start tags, the parser can find the end of the start tag only by parsing the attributes, as it is valid HTML for attribute values to contain '>' characters (see the HTML 4.01 specification section 5.3.2). If the source text being parsed does not follow the syntax of an attribute list at all, the parser assumes that the text which was originally identified as the beginning of of a start tag is in fact some other text, such as an invalid '<' character in the middle of some text, or part of a script element. In this case the entire start tag is rejected. On the other hand, it is quite common for attributes to contain minor syntactical errors, such as an invalid character in an attribute name, or a couple of special characters in server tags that otherwise contain only attributes. For this reason the parser allows a certain number of minor errors to occur while parsing an attribute list before the entire start tag or attribute list is rejected. This property indicates the number of minor errors allowed. Major syntactical errors cause the start tag or attribute list to be rejected immediately, regardless of the maximum error count setting. Some errors are considered too minor to count at all (ignorable), such as missing whitespace between the end of a quoted attribute value and the start of the next attribute name. The classification of particular syntax errors in attribute lists into major, minor, and ignorable is not part of the specification and may change in future versions. Errors are logged as they occur. The value of this property is set using thesetDefaultMaxErrorCount(int)
method.
- Returns:
- the default maximum error count allowed when parsing attributes.
- See Also:
Source.parseAttributes(int pos, int maxEnd, int maxErrorCount)
public String getValue(String name)
Returns the decoded value of the attribute with the specified name (case insensitive). Returnsnull
if no attribute with the specified name exists or the attribute has no value. This is equivalent toget(name)
.
getValue()
, except that it returnsnull
if no attribute with the specified name exists instead of throwing aNullPointerException
.
- Parameters:
name
- the name of the attribute to get.
- Returns:
- the decoded value of the attribute with the specified name, or
null
if the attribute does not exist or has no value.
- See Also:
Attribute.getValue()
public Iterator iterator()
Returns an iterator over theAttribute
objects in this list in order of appearance.
- Overrides:
- iterator in interface au.id.jericho.lib.html.nodoc.SequentialListSegment
- Returns:
- an iterator over the
Attribute
objects in this list in order of appearance.
public ListIterator listIterator(int index)
Returns a list iterator of theAttribute
objects in this list in order of appearance, starting at the specified position in the list. The specified index indicates the first item that would be returned by an initial call to thenext()
method. An initial call to theprevious()
method would return the item with the specified index minus one. IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: For efficiency reasons this method does not return an immutable list iterator. Calling any of theadd(Object)
,remove()
orset(Object)
methods on the returnedListIterator
does not throw an exception but could result in unexpected behaviour.
- Overrides:
- listIterator in interface au.id.jericho.lib.html.nodoc.SequentialListSegment
- Parameters:
index
- the index of the first item to be returned from the list iterator (by a call to thenext()
method).
- Returns:
- a list iterator of the items in this list (in proper sequence), starting at the specified position in the list.
public Map populateMap(Map attributesMap, boolean convertNamesToLowerCase)
Populates the specifiedMap
with the name/value pairs from these attributes. Both names and values are stored asString
objects. The entries are added in order of apprearance in the source document. An attribute with no value is represented by a map entry with anull
value. Attribute values are automatically decoded before storage in the map.
- Parameters:
attributesMap
- the map to populate, must not benull
.convertNamesToLowerCase
- specifies whether all attribute names are converted to lower case in the map.
- Returns:
- the same map specified as the argument to the
attributesMap
parameter, populated with the name/value pairs from these attributes.
- See Also:
generateHTML(Map attributesMap)
public static void setDefaultMaxErrorCount(int value)
Sets the default maximum error count allowed when parsing attributes. See thegetDefaultMaxErrorCount()
method for a full description of this property.
- Parameters:
value
- the default maximum error count allowed when parsing attributes.
