Class XMLString
java.lang.Object
org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLString
public class XMLString
extends java.lang.Object
This class is used as a structure to pass text contained in the underlying
character buffer of the scanner. The offset and length fields allow the
buffer to be re-used without creating new character arrays.
Note: Methods that are passed an XMLString structure
should consider the contents read-only and not make any modifications
to the contents of the buffer. The method receiving this structure
should also not modify the offset and length if this structure (or
the values of this structure) are passed to another method.
Note: Methods that are passed an XMLString structure
are required to copy the information out of the buffer if it is to be
saved for use beyond the scope of the method. The contents of the
structure are volatile and the contents of the character buffer cannot
be assured once the method that is passed this structure returns.
Therefore, methods passed this structure should not save any reference
to the structure or the character array contained in the structure.

ch
public char[] ch
The character array.
length
public int length
The length of characters from the offset.
offset
public int offset
The offset into the character array.
XMLString
public XMLString()
Default constructor.
XMLString
public XMLString(char[] ch,
int offset,
int length)
Constructs an XMLString structure preset with the specified
values.
ch
- The character array.offset
- The offset into the character array.length
- The length of characters from the offset.
XMLString
public XMLString(XMLString string)
Constructs an XMLString structure with copies of the values in
the given structure.
Note: This does not copy the character array;
only the reference to the array is copied.
string
- The XMLString to copy.
clear
public void clear()
Resets all of the values to their defaults.
equals
public boolean equals(String s)
Returns true if the contents of this XMLString structure and
the specified string are equal.
s
- The string to compare.
equals
public boolean equals(char[] ch,
int offset,
int length)
Returns true if the contents of this XMLString structure and
the specified array are equal.
ch
- The character array.offset
- The offset into the character array.length
- The length of characters from the offset.
setValues
public void setValues(char[] ch,
int offset,
int length)
Initializes the contents of the XMLString structure with the
specified values.
ch
- The character array.offset
- The offset into the character array.length
- The length of characters from the offset.
setValues
public void setValues(XMLString s)
Initializes the contents of the XMLString structure with copies
of the given string structure.
Note: This does not copy the character array;
only the reference to the array is copied.
toString
public String toString()
Returns a string representation of this object.
