Method Detail

initInput

public void initInput()
               throws Exception

Initializes the Input. Note: this parser relies on a Reader object to read the XML document.

Overrides:

initInput in class XMLParser2

Throws:

Exception - - in case of a read error occurs.

See Also:

ParserImpl.setInputStream(java.io.Reader)

readEntry

public Entry readEntry()
                throws Exception

Reads the data from the IdML book and returns it, one artifact at a time (i.e. CI or Relationship). Also, each returned entry contains the data of the MSS owning that artifact.

Specified by:

readEntry in interface ParserInterface

Overrides:

readEntry in class XMLParser2

Returns:

the Entry object containing the IdML elements.

Throws:

Exception - if unable to parse an IdML file.

getVersion

public String getVersion()

Version information.

Specified by:

getVersion in interface VersionInfoInterface

Overrides:

getVersion in class XMLParser2

Returns:

version information

closeParser

public void closeParser()
                 throws Exception

This method closes the parser's streams

Specified by:

closeParser in interface ParserInterface

Overrides:

closeParser in class XMLParser2

Throws:

Exception - in case an error occurs
