# XIncludeFilter

#### class XIncludeFilter extends XMLFilterImpl

This is a SAX filter which resolves all XInclude include elements before passing them on to the client application. Currently this class has the following known deviation from the XInclude specification:

1. XPointer is not supported.

Furthermore, I would definitely use a new instance of this class for each document you want to process. I doubt it can be used successfully on multiple documents. Furthermore, I can virtually guarantee that this class is not thread safe. You have been warned.

Since this class is not designed to be subclassed, and since I have not yet considered how that might affect the methods herein or what other protected methods might be needed to support subclasses, I have declared this class final. I may remove this restriction later, though the use-case for subclassing is weak. This class is designed to have its functionality extended via a horizontal chain of filters, not a vertical hierarchy of sub and superclasses.

To use this class:

- Construct an `XIncludeFilter` object with a known base URL
- Pass the `XMLReader` object from which the raw document will be read to the `setParent()` method of this object.
- Pass your own `ContentHandler` object to the `setContentHandler()` method of this object. This is the object which will receive events from the parsed and included document.
- Optional: if you wish to receive comments, set your own `LexicalHandler` object as the value of this object's `http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler` property. Also make sure your `LexicalHandler` asks this object for the status of each comment using `insideIncludeElement` before doing anything with the comment.
- Pass the URL of the document to read to this object's `parse()` method

e.g.

    val includer = new XIncludeFilter(base)
    includer setParent parser
    includer setContentHandler new SAXXIncluder(System.out)
    includer parse args(i)

3. #### final def ##(): Int

   Equivalent to `x.hashCode` except for boxed numeric types and `null`.

   Equivalent to `x.hashCode` except for boxed numeric types and `null`. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For `null` returns a hashcode where `null.hashCode` throws a `NullPointerException`.

   returns

     a hash value consistent with ==

   Test two objects for equality.

   Test two objects for equality. The expression `x == that` is equivalent to `if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that)`.

   returns

     `true` if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; `false` otherwise.

9. #### final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

   Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

   Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

   Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression `1.asInstanceOf[String]` will throw a `ClassCastException` at runtime, while the expression `List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]]` will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

   returns

     the receiver object.

19. #### final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    The `eq` method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of `AnyRef`, and has three additional properties:

    - It is consistent: for any non-null instances `x` and `y` of type `AnyRef`, multiple invocations of `x.eq(y)` consistently returns `true` or consistently returns `false`.
    - For any non-null instance `x` of type `AnyRef`, `x.eq(null)` and `null.eq(x)` returns `false`.
    - `null.eq(null)` returns `true`.

    When overriding the `equals` or `hashCode` methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (`o1 eq o2`), they should be equal to each other (`o1 == o2`) and they should hash to the same value (`o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode`).

    returns

      `true` if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; `false` otherwise.

20. #### def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to `eq`.

    See also `equals` in scala.Any.

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; `false` otherwise.

    This utility method returns true if and only if this reader is currently inside a non-empty include element. (This is not the same as being inside the node set which replaces the include element.) This is primarily needed for comments inside include elements. It must be checked by the actual `LexicalHandler` to see whether a comment is passed or not.

      boolean

36. #### final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is `T0`.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is `T0`.

Therefore the expression `1.isInstanceOf[String]` will return `false`, while the expression `List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]]` will return `true`. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.
