Constructor Detail

### SAXHandler

    public SAXHandler()

  This will create a new `SAXHandler` that listens to SAX events and creates a JDOM Document. The objects will be constructed using the default factory.

### SAXHandler

    public SAXHandler(JDOMFactory factory)

  This will create a new `SAXHandler` that listens to SAX events and creates a JDOM Document. The objects will be constructed using the provided factory.

  Parameters:
    `factory` - `JDOMFactory` to be used for constructing objects

Method Detail

### pushElement

    protected void pushElement(Element element)

  Pushes an element onto the tree under construction. Allows subclasses to put content under a dummy root element which is useful for building content that would otherwise be a non-well formed document.

  Parameters:
    `element` - root element under which content will be built

### getDocument

    public Document getDocument()

  Returns the document. Should be called after parsing is complete.

  Returns:
    `Document` - Document that was built

### getFactory

    public JDOMFactory getFactory()

  Returns the factory used for constructing objects.

  Returns:
    `JDOMFactory` - the factory used for constructing objects.
  See Also:
    `SAXHandler(org.jdom.JDOMFactory)`

### setExpandEntities

    public void setExpandEntities(boolean expand)

  This sets whether or not to expand entities during the build. A true means to expand entities as normal content. A false means to leave entities unexpanded as `EntityRef` objects. The default is true.

  Parameters:
    `expand` - `boolean` indicating whether entity expansion should occur.

### getExpandEntities

    public boolean getExpandEntities()

  Returns whether or not entities will be expanded during the build.

  Returns:
    `boolean` - whether entity expansion will occur during build.
  See Also:
    `setExpandEntities(boolean)`

### setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace

    public void setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(boolean ignoringWhite)

  Specifies whether or not the parser should elminate whitespace in element content (sometimes known as "ignorable whitespace") when building the document. Only whitespace which is contained within element content that has an element only content model will be eliminated (see XML Rec 3.2.1). For this setting to take effect requires that validation be turned on. The default value of this setting is `false`.

  Parameters:
    `ignoringWhite` - Whether to ignore ignorable whitespace

### setIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace

    public void setIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace(boolean ignoringBoundaryWhite)

  Specifies whether or not the parser should elminate text() nodes containing only whitespace when building the document. See `SAXBuilder.setIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace(boolean)`.

  Parameters:
    `ignoringBoundaryWhite` - Whether to ignore only whitespace content

### getIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace

    public boolean getIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace()

  Returns whether or not the parser will elminate element content containing only whitespace.

  Returns:
    `boolean` - whether only whitespace content will be ignored during build.
  See Also:
    `setIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace(boolean)`

### getIgnoringElementContentWhitespace

    public boolean getIgnoringElementContentWhitespace()

  Returns whether or not the parser will elminate whitespace in element content (sometimes known as "ignorable whitespace") when building the document.

  Returns:
    `boolean` - whether ignorable whitespace will be ignored during build.
  See Also:
    `setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(boolean)`
