• buildFromXMLElement

  public void buildFromXMLElement(Element aElement,
                         XMLParser aParser,
                         XMLParser.ParsingOptions aOptions)
                           throws InvalidXMLException

  Description copied from class: MetaDataObject_impl
  Initializes this object from its XML DOM representation. This method is typically called from the XMLParser. It is overridden by specific Java impl classes to provide additional defaulting (e.g. see AnalysisEngineDescription_impl)

  Specified by:

  buildFromXMLElement in interface XMLizable

  Overrides:

  buildFromXMLElement in class MetaDataObject_impl

  Parameters:

  aElement - the XML element that represents this object.

  aParser - a reference to the UIMA XMLParser. The XMLParser.buildObject(Element) method can be used to construct sub-objects.

  aOptions - option settings

  Throws:

  InvalidXMLException - if the input XML element does not specify a valid object

• toXML

  public void toXML(ContentHandler aContentHandler,
           boolean aWriteDefaultNamespaceAttribute)
             throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: XMLizable
  Writes this object's XML representation by making calls on a SAX ContentHandler.

  Specified by:

  toXML in interface XMLizable

  Overrides:

  toXML in class MetaDataObject_impl

  Parameters:

  aContentHandler - the content handler to which this object will write events that describe its XML representation.

  aWriteDefaultNamespaceAttribute - whether the namespace of this element should be written as the default namespace. This should be done only for the root element, and it defaults to false.
