java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.tools.utility.XmlEscapeCharacterConverter

public final class XmlEscapeCharacterConverter
extends java.lang.Object

This converter handles references when dealing with text or markup in an XML document. Those references (escape characters) are defined in ISO-8859-1 Reference.

The conversion supports both converting a numeric character reference (&#nnnn; where nnnn is the code point in decimal form or &xhhhh; where hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal point) and a character entity reference (&name; where name is the case-sensitive name of the entity).

Method Detail

escape

public static java.lang.String escape(java.lang.String value,
                      int[] positions)

Converts the characters that are reserved in an XML document the given string may have into their corresponding references (escape characters) using the character entity reference.

Parameters:

value - A string that may contain characters that need to be escaped

positions - This array of length one or two can be used to adjust the position of the cursor or a text range within the string during the conversion of the reserved characters

Returns:

The given string with any reserved characters converted into the escape characters

getCharacter

public static java.lang.String getCharacter(java.lang.String reference)

Returns the Unicode character for the given reference (which is either a numeric character reference or a character entity reference).

Parameters:

reference - The numeric character or character entity reference stripped of the leading ampersand and trailing semi-colon

Returns:

The Unicode character mapped to the given reference or null if the reference is invalid or unknown

getEscapeCharacter

public static java.lang.String getEscapeCharacter(char character)

Returns the escaped character for the given reserved character.

Parameters:

character - The reserved character to retrieve its escape character with the entity name

Returns:

The escape character with the entity name of the given character if it is a reserved character; otherwise returns null

isReserved

public static boolean isReserved(char character)

Determines if the given character is one of the XML/HTML reserved characters.

Parameters:

character - The character to verify if it's one of the reserved characters

Returns:

true if the given character is defined as a reserved characters; false otherwise

reposition

public static void reposition(java.lang.CharSequence query,
              int[] positions)

Re-adjusts the given positions, which is based on the non-escaped version of the given query, by making sure it is pointing at the same position within query, which contains references (escape characters).

The escape characters are either the character entity references or the numeric character references used in an XML document.

Important: The given query should contain the exact same amount of whitespace than the query used to calculate the given positions.

Parameters:

query - The query that may contain escape characters

positions - The position within the non-escaped version of the given query, which is either a single element position or two positions that is used as a text range

unescape

public static java.lang.String unescape(java.lang.String value,
                        int[] position)

• Character entity reference: &copy; for ©
• Numeric character reference (decimal value): &#169; for ©
• Numeric character reference (hexadecimal value): &#xA9; for ©

Parameters:

value - A string that may contain escape characters

position - This array of length one can be used to adjust the position of the cursor within the string during the conversion of the escape characters

Returns:

The given string with any escape characters converted into the actual Unicode characters
