Constructor Detail

UnknownElement

public UnknownElement(java.lang.String elementName)

Creates an UnknownElement for the given element name.

Parameters:

elementName - The name of the unknown element. Must not be null.

Method Detail

getChildren

public java.util.List getChildren()

Returns:

the list of nested UnknownElements for this UnknownElement.

getTag

public java.lang.String getTag()

Returns the name of the XML element which generated this unknown element.

Returns:

the name of the XML element which generated this unknown element.

getNamespace

public java.lang.String getNamespace()

Return the namespace of the XML element associated with this component.

Returns:

Namespace URI used in the xmlns declaration.

setNamespace

public void setNamespace(java.lang.String namespace)

Set the namespace of the XML element associated with this component. This method is typically called by the XML processor. If the namespace is "ant:current", the component helper is used to get the current antlib uri.

Parameters:

namespace - URI used in the xmlns declaration.

getQName

public java.lang.String getQName()

Return the qname of the XML element associated with this component.

Returns:

namespace Qname used in the element declaration.

setQName

public void setQName(java.lang.String qname)

Parameters:

qname - the qualified name of the element

getWrapper

public RuntimeConfigurable getWrapper()

Get the RuntimeConfigurable instance for this UnknownElement, containing the configuration information.

Overrides:

getWrapper in class Task

Returns:

the configuration info.

maybeConfigure

public void maybeConfigure()
                    throws BuildException

Creates the real object instance and child elements, then configures the attributes and text of the real object. This unknown element is then replaced with the real object in the containing target's list of children.

Overrides:

maybeConfigure in class Task

Throws:

BuildException - if the configuration fails

configure

public void configure(java.lang.Object realObject)

Configure the given object from this UnknownElement

Parameters:

realObject - the real object this UnknownElement is representing.

handleOutput

protected void handleOutput(java.lang.String output)

Handles output sent to System.out by this task or its real task.

Overrides:

handleOutput in class Task

Parameters:

output - The output to log. Should not be null.

handleInput

protected int handleInput(byte[] buffer,
                          int offset,
                          int length)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: Task

Handle an input request by this task

Overrides:

handleInput in class Task

Parameters:

buffer - the buffer into which data is to be read.

offset - the offset into the buffer at which data is stored.

length - the amount of data to read

Returns:

the number of bytes read

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the data cannot be read

Since:

Ant 1.6
