Constructor Detail

Page

public Page()
Construct an empty page.


Page

public Page(URLConnection connection)
     throws ParserException
Construct a page reading from a URL connection.

Parameters:
connection - A fully conditioned connection. The connect() method will be called so it need not be connected yet.
Throws:
ParserException - An exception object wrapping a number of possible error conditions, some of which are outlined below.
  • IOException If an i/o exception occurs creating the source.
  • UnsupportedEncodingException if the character set specified in the HTTP header is not supported.

  • Page

    public Page(InputStream stream,
                String charset)
         throws UnsupportedEncodingException
    Construct a page from a stream encoded with the given charset.

    Parameters:
    stream - The source of bytes.
    charset - The encoding used. If null, defaults to the DEFAULT_CHARSET.
    Throws:
    UnsupportedEncodingException - If the given charset is not supported.

    Page

    public Page(String text,
                String charset)
    Construct a page from the given string.

    Parameters:
    text - The HTML text.
    charset - Optional. The character set encoding that will be reported by getEncoding(). If charset is null the default character set is used.

    Page

    public Page(String text)
    Construct a page from the given string. The page will report that it is using an encoding of DEFAULT_CHARSET.

    Parameters:
    text - The HTML text.

    Page

    public Page(Source source)
    Construct a page from a source.

    Parameters:
    source - The source of characters.
    Method Detail

    getConnectionManager

    public static ConnectionManager getConnectionManager()
    Get the connection manager all Parsers use.

    Returns:
    The connection manager.

    setConnectionManager

    public static void setConnectionManager(ConnectionManager manager)
    Set the connection manager to use.

    Parameters:
    manager - The new connection manager.

    getCharset

    public String getCharset(String content)
    Get a CharacterSet name corresponding to a charset parameter.

    Parameters:
    content - A text line of the form:
     text/html; charset=Shift_JIS
     
    which is applicable both to the HTTP header field Content-Type and the meta tag http-equiv="Content-Type". Note this method also handles non-compliant quoted charset directives such as:
     text/html; charset="UTF-8"
     
    and
     text/html; charset='UTF-8'
     
    Returns:
    The character set name to use when reading the input stream. For JDKs that have the Charset class this is qualified by passing the name to findCharset() to render it into canonical form. If the charset parameter is not found in the given string, the default character set is returned.
    See Also:
    findCharset(java.lang.String, java.lang.String), DEFAULT_CHARSET

    findCharset

    public static String findCharset(String name,
                                     String fallback)
    Lookup a character set name. Vacuous for JVM's without java.nio.charset. This uses reflection so the code will still run under prior JDK's but in that case the default is always returned.

    Parameters:
    name - The name to look up. One of the aliases for a character set.
    fallback - The name to return if the lookup fails.
    Returns:
    The character set name.

    reset

    public void reset()
    Reset the page by resetting the source of characters.


    close

    public void close()
               throws IOException
    Close the page by destroying the source of characters.

    Throws:
    IOException - If destroying the source encounters an error.

    finalize

    protected void finalize()
                     throws Throwable
    Clean up this page, releasing resources. Calls close().

    Overrides:
    finalize in class Object
    Throws:
    Throwable - if close() throws an IOException.

    getConnection

    public URLConnection getConnection()
    Get the connection, if any.

    Returns:
    The connection object for this page, or null if this page is built from a stream or a string.

    setConnection

    public void setConnection(URLConnection connection)
                       throws ParserException
    Set the URLConnection to be used by this page. Starts reading from the given connection. This also resets the current url.

    Parameters:
    connection - The connection to use. It will be connected by this method.
    Throws:
    ParserException - If the connect() method fails, or an I/O error occurs opening the input stream or the character set designated in the HTTP header is unsupported.

    getUrl

    public String getUrl()
    Get the URL for this page. This is only available if the page has a connection (getConnection() returns non-null), or the document base has been set via a call to setUrl().

    Returns:
    The url for the connection, or null if there is no conenction or the document base has not been set.

    setUrl

    public void setUrl(String url)
    Set the URL for this page. This doesn't affect the contents of the page, just the interpretation of relative links from this point forward.

    Parameters:
    url - The new URL.

    getBaseUrl

    public String getBaseUrl()
    Gets the baseUrl.

    Returns:
    The base URL for this page, or null if not set.

    setBaseUrl

    public void setBaseUrl(String url)
    Sets the baseUrl.

    Parameters:
    url - The base url for this page.

    getSource

    public Source getSource()
    Get the source this page is reading from.

    Returns:
    The current source.

    getContentType

    public String getContentType()
    Try and extract the content type from the HTTP header.

    Returns:
    The content type.

    getCharacter

    public char getCharacter(Cursor cursor)
                      throws ParserException
    Read the character at the given cursor position. The cursor position can be only behind or equal to the current source position. Returns end of lines (EOL) as \n, by converting \r and \r\n to \n, and updates the end-of-line index accordingly. Advances the cursor position by one (or two in the \r\n case).

    Parameters:
    cursor - The position to read at.
    Returns:
    The character at that position, and modifies the cursor to prepare for the next read. If the source is exhausted a zero is returned.
    Throws:
    ParserException - If an IOException on the underlying source occurs, or an attempt is made to read characters in the future (the cursor position is ahead of the underlying stream)

    ungetCharacter

    public void ungetCharacter(Cursor cursor)
                        throws ParserException
    Return a character. Handles end of lines (EOL) specially, retreating the cursor twice for the '\r\n' case. The cursor position is moved back by one (or two in the \r\n case).

    Parameters:
    cursor - The position to 'unread' at.
    Throws:
    ParserException - If an IOException on the underlying source occurs.

    getEncoding

    public String getEncoding()
    Get the current encoding being used.

    Returns:
    The encoding used to convert characters.

    setEncoding

    public void setEncoding(String character_set)
                     throws ParserException
    Begins reading from the source with the given character set. If the current encoding is the same as the requested encoding, this method is a no-op. Otherwise any subsequent characters read from this page will have been decoded using the given character set.

    Some magic happens here to obtain this result if characters have already been consumed from this page. Since a Reader cannot be dynamically altered to use a different character set, the underlying stream is reset, a new Source is constructed and a comparison made of the characters read so far with the newly read characters up to the current position. If a difference is encountered, or some other problem occurs, an exception is thrown.

    Parameters:
    character_set - The character set to use to convert bytes into characters.
    Throws:
    ParserException - If a character mismatch occurs between characters already provided and those that would have been returned had the new character set been in effect from the beginning. An exception is also thrown if the underlying stream won't put up with these shenanigans.

    constructUrl

    public URL constructUrl(String link,
                            String base)
                     throws MalformedURLException

    Parameters:
    link - The (relative) URI.
    base - The base URL of the page, either from the <BASE> tag or, if none, the URL the page is being fetched from.
    Returns:
    An absolute URL.
    Throws:
    MalformedURLException - If creating the URL fails.
