public class EspReader
extends FilterReader

The EspReader is a FilterReader which takes JSP like input and produces plain ECMA script output. The filtering modifications done on the input comprise the following :

• Template text (HTML) is wrapped by out.write(). At most one line of text is wrapped into a single write() call. Double quote characters in the template text (e.g. for HTML tag attribute values) are escaped.
• ECMA code is written to the output as is.
• ECMA slash star (/*) comments are also written as is.
• ECMA slash slash (//) comments are written as is.
• JSP style template comments (<%-- -->) are also removed from the stream. Lineendings (LFs and CRLFs) are written, though.
• HTML comments () are not treated specially. Rather they are handled as plain template text written to the output wrapped in out.write(). The consequence of this behavious is, that as in JSP ECMA expressions may be included within the comments.

The nice thing about this reader is, that the line numbers of the resulting stream match the line numbers of the matching contents of the input stream. Due to the insertion of write() calls, column numbers will not necessarily match, though. This is especially true if you mix ECMA code tags (<% %>) with template text on the same line.

For maximum performance it is advisable to not create the EspReader with a plain FileReader or InputStreamReader but rather with a BufferedReader based on one of the simpler Readers. The reasons for this is, that we call the base reader character by character. This in turn is not too performing if the base reader does not buffer its input.

DEFAULT_OUT_INIT_STATEMENT

public static final String DEFAULT_OUT_INIT_STATEMENT

Constructor Detail

EspReader

public EspReader(Reader baseReader)

Create an EspReader on top of the given baseReader. The constructor wraps the input reader with a PushbackReader, so that input stream modifications may be handled transparently by our doRead() method.

Method Detail

setOutInitStatement

public void setOutInitStatement(String statement)

Set the code fragment used to initialize the "out" variable

ready

public boolean ready()
              throws IOException

Check whether we may block at the next read() operation. We may be ready if and only if our input reader is ready. But this does not guarantee that we won't block, as due to filtering there may be more than one character needed from the input to return one.

Overrides:

ready in class FilterReader

Returns:

true if a character is available on the PushbackReader.

Throws:

IOException - if the reader is not open

read

public int read()
         throws IOException

Return the next filtered character. This need not be the next character of the input stream. It may be a character from the input reader, after having skipped filtered characters or it may be a character injected due to translation of template text to ECMA code.

Overrides:

read in class FilterReader

Returns:

the next character after filtering or -1 at the end of the input reader

Throws:

IOException - if the reader is not open

read

public int read(char[] cbuf)
         throws IOException

Fill the given buffer with filtered or injected characters. This need not be the next characters of the input stream. It may be characters from the input reader, after having skipped filtered characters or it may be a characters injected due to translation of template text to ECMA code. This method is exactly the same as read(cbuf, 0, cbuf.length).

Overrides:

read in class Reader

Parameters:

cbuf - The character buffer to fill with (filtered) characters

Returns:

the number of characters filled in the buffer or -1 at the end of the input reader.

Throws:

IOException - if the reader is not open

read

public int read(char[] cbuf,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws IOException

Fill the buffer from the offset with the number of characters given. This need not be the next characters of the input stream. It may be characters from the input reader, after having skipped filtered characters or it may be a characters injected due to translation of template text to ECMA code.

Overrides:

read in class FilterReader

Parameters:

cbuf - The character buffer to fill with (filtered) characters

off - Offset from where to start in the buffer

len - The number of characters to fill into the buffer

Returns:

the number of characters filled in the buffer or -1 at the end of the input reader.

Throws:

IOException - if the reader is not open

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if len is negative, off is negative or higher than the buffer length or off+len is negative or beyond the buffer size.

skip

public long skip(long n)
          throws IOException

Skip the number of filtered characters. The skip method is the same as calling read() repeatedly for the given number of characters and throwing away the result. If the end of input reader is reached before having skipped the number of characters, the method returns the number characters skipped so far.

Overrides:

skip in class FilterReader

Parameters:

n - the number of (filtered) characters to skip

Returns:

the number of (filtered) characters actually skipped

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if n is negative

IOException - if the reading the characters throws

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Close the EspReader.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Overrides:

close in class FilterReader

Throws:

IOException

mark

public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
          throws IOException

Mark the present position in the stream. The mark for class EspReader always throws an throwable.

Overrides:

mark in class FilterReader

Parameters:

readAheadLimit - The number of characters to read ahead

Throws:

IOException - Always, since mark is not supported

markSupported

public boolean markSupported()

Tell whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does not.

Overrides:

markSupported in class FilterReader

Returns:

false Always, since mark is not supported

reset

public void reset()
           throws IOException

Reset the stream. The reset method of EspReader always throws an throwable.

Overrides:

reset in class FilterReader

Throws:

IOException - Always, since reset is not supported
