Class XMLWriter

java.lang.Object

org.pentaho.reporting.engine.classic.core.function.AbstractExpression

org.pentaho.reporting.engine.classic.core.function.AbstractFunction

org.pentaho.reporting.engine.classic.core.modules.output.xml.XMLWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, EventListener, ReportListener, Expression, Function, OutputFunction

Deprecated.

The whole basic XML output is deprecated as it cannot handle inline subreports.

public class XMLWriter
extends AbstractFunction
implements OutputFunction

The XMLWriter is the content creation function used to create the XML content. This implementation does no layouting, the bands and elements are written in the defined order.

The xml writer is intended as simple example on how to write OutputFunctions, the XML-code generated is very simple and easy to understand. If you seek complexer XML-Outputs, have a look at the HTML-Writer, this implementation is able to write XHTML output.

Constructor Detail

XMLWriter

public XMLWriter()

Deprecated.

Creates a new XMLWriter function. The Writer gets a dependency level of -1.

Method Detail

getWriter

public Writer getWriter()

Deprecated.

returns the assigned writer for the output.

Returns:

the writer.

setWriter

public void setWriter(Writer w)

Deprecated.

Defines the writer for the XML-output.

Parameters:

w - the writer.

reportStarted

public void reportStarted(ReportEvent event)

Deprecated.

Writes the report header.

Specified by:

reportStarted in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

reportStarted in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - the event.

reportFinished

public void reportFinished(ReportEvent event)

Deprecated.

Writes the report footer.

Specified by:

reportFinished in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

reportFinished in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - the event.

groupStarted

public void groupStarted(ReportEvent event)

Deprecated.

Writes the header of the current group.

Specified by:

groupStarted in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

groupStarted in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - the event.

groupFinished

public void groupFinished(ReportEvent event)

Deprecated.

Writes the footer of the current group.

Specified by:

groupFinished in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

groupFinished in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - the event.

itemsAdvanced

public void itemsAdvanced(ReportEvent event)

Deprecated.

Writes the itemband.

Specified by:

itemsAdvanced in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

itemsAdvanced in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - the event.

itemsStarted

public void itemsStarted(ReportEvent event)

Deprecated.

Starts the itembands section.

The next events will be itemsAdvanced events until the itemsFinished event is raised.

Specified by:

itemsStarted in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

itemsStarted in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - The event.

itemsFinished

public void itemsFinished(ReportEvent event)

Deprecated.

Closes the itemband section.

The itemBand is finished, the report starts to close open groups.

Specified by:

itemsFinished in interface ReportListener

Overrides:

itemsFinished in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

event - The event.

getValue

public Object getValue()

Deprecated.

Return the self reference of this writer.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Expression

Returns:

the value of the function.

getDependencyLevel

public int getDependencyLevel()

Deprecated.

The dependency level defines the level of execution for this function. Higher dependency functions are executed before lower dependency functions. For ordinary functions and expressions, the range for dependencies is defined to start from 0 (lowest dependency possible) to 2^31 (upper limit of int).

PageLayouter functions override the default behaviour an place them self at depency level -1, an so before any user defined function.

Specified by:

getDependencyLevel in interface Expression

Overrides:

getDependencyLevel in class AbstractExpression

Returns:

the level.

setDependencyLevel

public void setDependencyLevel(int deplevel)

Deprecated.

Overrides the depency level. Should be lower than any other function depency.

Specified by:

setDependencyLevel in interface Expression

Overrides:

setDependencyLevel in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

deplevel - the new depency level.

deriveForStorage

public OutputFunction deriveForStorage()

Deprecated.

This method simply clones the function. The XMLWriter does not maintain large internal states and therefore need not to be aware of any advanced optimizations.

Specified by:

deriveForStorage in interface OutputFunction

Returns:

the derived function.

deriveForPagebreak

public OutputFunction deriveForPagebreak()

Deprecated.

This method simply clones the function. The XMLWriter does not maintain large internal states and therefore need not to be aware of any advanced optimizations.

Specified by:

deriveForPagebreak in interface OutputFunction

Returns:

the derived function.

clone

public Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

Deprecated.

Clones the expression. The expression should be reinitialized after the cloning.

Expressions maintain no state, cloning is done at the beginning of the report processing to disconnect the expression from any other object space.

Specified by:

clone in interface Expression

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractExpression

Returns:

a clone of this expression.

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException - this should never happen.

getInlineSubreports

public InlineSubreportMarker[] getInlineSubreports()

Deprecated.

Specified by:

getInlineSubreports in interface OutputFunction

clearInlineSubreports

public void clearInlineSubreports(SubReportProcessType inlineExecution)

Deprecated.

Specified by:

clearInlineSubreports in interface OutputFunction

restart

public void restart(ReportState state)

Deprecated.

Specified by:

restart in interface OutputFunction

groupBodyFinished

public void groupBodyFinished(ReportEvent event)

Deprecated.

Specified by:

groupBodyFinished in interface OutputFunction

createRollbackInformation

public boolean createRollbackInformation()

Deprecated.

Specified by:

createRollbackInformation in interface OutputFunction
