Class Pcdata

java.lang.Object

com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.output.Pcdata

All Implemented Interfaces:

CharSequence

Direct Known Subclasses:

Base64Data, IntArrayData, IntData

public abstract class Pcdata
extends Object
implements CharSequence

Text data in XML.

This class is used inside the marshaller/unmarshaller to send/receive text data.

On top of CharSequence, this class has an ability to write itself to the XmlOutput. This allows the implementation to choose the most efficient way possible when writing to XML (for example, it can skip the escaping of buffer copying.) TODO: visitor pattern support?

Method Detail

writeTo

public abstract void writeTo(UTF8XmlOutput output)
                      throws IOException

Writes itself to UTF8XmlOutput.

This is the most performance critical path for the marshaller, so it warrants its own method.

Throws:

IOException

writeTo

public void writeTo(char[] buf,
           int start)

Writes itself to the character array.

This method is used by most other XmlOutput. The default implementation involves in one extra char[] copying.

The caller must provide a big enough buffer that can hold enough characters returned by the CharSequence.length() method.

toString

public abstract String toString()

Specified by:

toString in interface CharSequence

Overrides:

toString in class Object
