All Implemented Interfaces:

BinaryContentHandler, ContentHandler, ProtoHandler, RouteHandler, ScriptHandler, StringContentHandler

public class CombinerFilter
extends AbstractFilter

A filter which combines several files together.

Execution Example: filter.sh Combiner in.x3dv out.x3dv -files file2.x3dv file3.x3dv This will combine in.x3dv, file2.x3dv and file3.x3dv into out.x3dv Assumes the BaseExporter will resolve DEF uniqueness issues. Ideally would compare some nodes like ImageTexture PROFILE, COMPNENT and META statements of the combined files will be lost Doesn't resolve IMPORT/EXPORT uniqueness issues

Method Details

setDocumentLocator

public void setDocumentLocator(DocumentLocator loc)

Set the document locator that can be used by the implementing code to find out information about the current line information. This method is called by the parser to your code to give you a locator to work with. If this has not been set by the time startDocument() has been called, you can assume that you will not have one available.

Specified by:

setDocumentLocator in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

setDocumentLocator in class AbstractFilter

Parameters:

loc - The documentLocator instance to use

startDocument

public void startDocument(String uri,
 String url,
 String encoding,
 String type,
 String version,
 String comment)
                   throws SAVException,
VRMLException

Declaration of the start of the document. The parameters are all of the values that are declared on the header line of the file after the # start. The type string contains the representation of the first few characters of the file after the #. This allows us to work out if it is VRML97 or the later X3D spec.

Version numbers change from VRML97 to X3D and aren't logical. In the first, it is #VRML V2.0 and the second is #X3D V1.0 even though this second header represents a later spec.

Specified by:

startDocument in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

startDocument in class AbstractFilter

Parameters:

uri - The URI of the file.

url - The base URL of the file for resolving relative URIs contained in the file

encoding - The encoding of this document - utf8 or binary

type - The bytes of the first part of the file header

version - The VRML version of this document

comment - Any trailing text on this line. If there is none, this is null.

Throws:

SAVException - This call is taken at the wrong time in the structure of the document

VRMLException - The content provided is invalid for this part of the document or can't be parsed

profileDecl

public void profileDecl(String profileName)
                 throws SAVException,
VRMLException

A profile declaration has been found in the code. IAW the X3D specification, this method will only ever be called once in the lifetime of the parser for this document. The name is the name of the profile for the document to use.

Specified by:

profileDecl in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

profileDecl in class AbstractFilter

Parameters:

profileName - The name of the profile to use

Throws:

VRMLException - This call is taken at the wrong time in the structure of the document.

componentDecl

public void componentDecl(String componentInfo)
                   throws SAVException,
VRMLException

A component declaration has been found in the code. There may be zero or more component declarations in the file, appearing just after the profile declaration. The textual information after the COMPONENT keyword is left unparsed and presented through this call. It is up to the user application to parse the component information.

Specified by:

componentDecl in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

componentDecl in class AbstractFilter

Parameters:

componentInfo - The name of the component to use

Throws:

              throws SAVException,
VRMLException

A META declaration has been found in the code. There may be zero or more meta declarations in the file, appearing just after the component declaration. Each meta declaration has a key and value strings. No information is to be implied from this. It is for extra data only.

Specified by:

metaDecl in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

metaDecl in class AbstractFilter

Parameters:

key - The value of the key string

value - The value of the value string

Throws:

SAVException - This call is taken at the wrong time in the structure of the document.

Parameters:

inline - The name of the inline DEF nodes

exported - The exported name from the inlined file

imported - The local name to use for the exported name
