Move the item to the lowest position in the display list. Child widgets always obscure other item types, and the stacking order of window items is determined by sending methods to the widget object directly.

raise

Move the item to the highest position in the display list. Child widgets always obscure other item types, and the stacking order of window items is determined by sending methods to the widget object directly.

redraw

Force the object to be displayed in the parent canvas, creating it if it has not been inserted for real in the parent, and refresh its position if it has changed.

remove

Remove the object from the canvas

show

Ensure that the object is visible in the center of the canvas, scrolling it if necessary.

Next: , Previous: , Up: BLOX.BDialog   [Index]

1.11.2 BLOX.BDialog class: prompters

chooseColor: parent label: aLabel default: color

Prompt for a color. The dialog box is created with the given parent window and with aLabel as its title bar text, and initially it selects the color given in the color parameter.

If the dialog box is canceled, nil is answered, else the selected color is returned as a String with its RGB value.

chooseFileToOpen: parent label: aLabel default: name defaultExtension: ext types: typeList

Pop up a dialog box for the user to select a file to open. Its purpose is for the user to select an existing file only. If the user enters an non-existent file, the dialog box gives the user an error prompt and requires the user to give an alternative selection or to cancel the selection. If an application allows the user to create new files, it should do so by providing a separate New menu command.

If the dialog box is canceled, nil is answered, else the selected file name is returned as a String.

The dialog box is created with the given parent window and with aLabel as its title bar text. The name parameter indicates which file is initially selected, and the default extension specifies a string that will be appended to the filename if the user enters a filename without an extension.

The typeList parameter is an array of arrays, like #((’Text files’ ’.txt’ ’.diz’) (’Smalltalk files’ ’.st’)), and is used to construct a listbox of file types. When the user chooses a file type in the listbox, only the files of that type are listed. Each item in the array contains a list of strings: the first one is the name of the file type described by a particular file pattern, and is the text string that appears in the File types listbox, while the other ones are the possible extensions that belong to this particular file type.

chooseFileToSave: parent label: aLabel default: name defaultExtension: ext types: typeList

Pop up a dialog box for the user to select a file to save; this differs from the file open dialog box in that non-existent file names are accepted and existing file names trigger a confirmation dialog box, asking the user whether the file should be overwritten or not.

If the dialog box is canceled, nil is answered, else the selected file name is returned as a String.

The dialog box is created with the given parent window and with aLabel as its title bar text. The name parameter indicates which file is initially selected, and the default extension specifies a string that will be appended to the filename if the user enters a filename without an extension.

The typeList parameter is an array of arrays, like #((’Text files’ ’.txt’ ’.diz’) (’Smalltalk files’ ’.st’)), and is used to construct a listbox of file types. When the user chooses a file type in the listbox, only the files of that type are listed. Each item in the array contains a list of strings: the first one is the name of the file type described by a particular file pattern, and is the text string that appears in the File types listbox, while the other ones are the possible extensions that belong to this particular file type.

Unlike Gui, however, the instances of my subclasses understand the standard widget protocol.

create

After this method is called (the call is made automatically) the receiver will be attached to a ‘primitive’ widget (which can be in turn another extended widget). This method is public not because you can call it, but because it can be useful to override it, not forgetting the call to super (which only calls #newPrimitive and saves the result), to perform some initialization on the primitive widget just created; overriding #create is in fact more generic than overriding #newPrimitive. For an example of this, see the implementation of BButtonLike.

Create and answer a new widget on which the implementation of the receiver will be based. You should not call this method directly; instead you must override it in BExtended’s subclasses.

mode

Answer the value of the mode option for the widget.

Specifies one of several styles for manipulating the selection. The value of the option may be either single, browse, multiple, or extended.

If the selection mode is single or browse, at most one element can be selected in the listbox at once. Clicking button 1 on an unselected element selects it and deselects any other selected item, while clicking on a selected element has no effect. In browse mode it is also possible to drag the selection with button 1. That is, moving the mouse while button 1 is pressed keeps the item under the cursor selected.

If the selection mode is multiple or extended, any number of elements may be selected at once, including discontiguous ranges. In multiple mode, clicking button 1 on an element toggles its selection state without affecting any other elements. In extended mode, pressing button 1 on an element selects it, deselects everything else, and sets the anchor to the element under the mouse; dragging the mouse with button 1 down extends the selection to include all the elements between the anchor and the element under the mouse, inclusive.

In extended mode, the selected range can be adjusted by pressing button 1 with the Shift key down: this modifies the selection to consist of the elements between the anchor and the element under the mouse, inclusive. The un-anchored end of this new selection can also be dragged with the button down. Also in extended mode, pressing button 1 with the Control key down starts a toggle operation: the anchor is set to the element under the mouse, and its selection state is reversed. The selection state of other elements is not changed. If the mouse is dragged with button 1 down, then the selection state of all elements between the anchor and the element under the mouse is set to match that of the anchor element; the selection state of all other elements remains what it was before the toggle operation began.

Most people will probably want to use browse mode for single selections and extended mode for multiple selections; the other modes appear to be useful only in special situations.

Create an instance of the receiver inside a BPopupWindow; do not map the window, answer the new widget. The created widget will become a child of the window and be completely attached to it (e.g. the geometry methods will modify the window’s geometry). Note that while the widget *seems* to be directly painted on the root window, it actually belongs to the BPopupWindow; so don’t send #destroy to the widget to remove it, but rather to the window.

borderWidth

Answer the value of the borderWidth option for the widget.

Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width of the 3-D border to draw around the outside of the widget (if such a border is being drawn; the effect option typically determines this). The value may also be used when drawing 3-D effects in the interior of the widget. The value is measured in pixels.

borderWidth: value

Set the value of the borderWidth option for the widget.

Specifies a non-negative value indicating the width of the 3-D border to draw around the outside of the widget (if such a border is being drawn; the effect option typically determines this). The value may also be used when drawing 3-D effects in the interior of the widget. The value is measured in pixels.

cursor

Answer the value of the cursor option for the widget.

Specifies the mouse cursor to be used for the widget. The value of the option is given by the standard X cursor cursor, i.e., any of the names defined in cursorcursor.h, without the leading XC_.

cursor: value

Set the value of the cursor option for the widget.

Specifies the mouse cursor to be used for the widget. The value of the option is given by the standard X cursor cursor, i.e., any of the names defined in cursorcursor.h, without the leading XC_.

effect

Answer the value of the effect option for the widget.

Specifies the effect desired for the widget’s border. Acceptable values are raised, sunken, flat, ridge, solid, and groove. The value indicates how the interior of the widget should appear relative to its exterior; for example, raised means the interior of the widget should appear to protrude from the screen, relative to the exterior of the widget. Raised and sunken give the traditional 3-D appearance (for example, that of Xaw3D), while ridge and groove give a “chiseled” appearance like that of Swing or GTK+’s Metal theme. Flat and solid are not 3-D.

Set the value of the effect option for the widget.

Specifies the effect desired for the widget’s border. Acceptable values are raised, sunken, flat, ridge, solid, and groove. The value indicates how the interior of the widget should appear relative to its exterior; for example, raised means the interior of the widget should appear to protrude from the screen, relative to the exterior of the widget. Raised and sunken give the traditional 3-D appearance (for example, that of Xaw3D), while ridge and groove give a “chiseled” appearance like that of Swing or GTK+’s Metal theme. Flat and solid are not 3-D.

tabStop

Answer the value of the tabStop option for the widget.

Determines whether the window accepts the focus during keyboard traversal (e.g., Tab and Shift-Tab). Before setting the focus to a window, Blox consults the value of the tabStop option. A value of false means that the window should be skipped entirely during keyboard traversal. true means that the window should receive the input focus as long as it is viewable (it and all of its ancestors are mapped). If you do not set this option, Blox makes the decision about whether or not to focus on the window: the current algorithm is to skip the window if it is disabled, it has no key bindings, or if it is not viewable. Of the standard widgets, BForm, BContainer, BLabel and BImage have no key bindings by default.

1.49.3 BLOX.BWidget: customization

addChild: child

The widget identified by child has been added to the receiver. This method is public not because you can call it, but because it can be useful to override it, not forgetting the call to basicAddChild, to perform some initialization on the children just added. Answer the new child.

create

Make the receiver able to respond to its widget protocol. This method is public not because you can call it, but because it can be useful to override it, not forgetting the call to super, to perform some initialization on the primitive widget just created; for an example of this, see the implementation of BButtonLike.

initialize: parentWidget

This is called by #new: to initialize the widget (as the name says...). The default implementation calls all the other methods in the ‘customization’ protocol and some private ones that take care of making the receiver’s status consistent, so you should usually call it instead of doing everything by hand. This method is public not because you can call it, but because it might be useful to override it. Always answer the receiver.

setInitialSize

This is called by #initialize: to set the widget’s initial size. The whole area is occupied by default. This method is public not because you can call it, but because it can be useful to override it.

This method should never fail – if it doesn’t apply to the kind of geometry management that the receiver does, just do nothing.

child: child xOffset: value

Adjust the given child’s x by a fixed amount of value pixel. This is meaningful for the default implementation, using ‘rubber-sheet’ geometry management as explained in the comment to BWidget’s #x and #xOffset: methods. You should not use this method, which is automatically called by the child’s #xOffset: method, but you might want to override it. if it doesn’t apply to the kind of geometry management that the receiver does, just add value to the current x of the widget.

child: child y: value

Set the given child’s y to value. The default implementation of this method uses ‘rubber-sheet’ geometry management as explained in the comment to BWidget’s #y method.

height

Answer the ‘variable’ part of the receiver’s height within the parent widget. The value returned does not include any fixed amount of pixels indicated by #heightOffset: and must be interpreted in a relative fashion: the ratio of the returned value to the current size of the parent will be preserved upon resize. This apparently complicated method is known as ‘rubber sheet’ geometry management. Behavior if the left or right edges are not within the client area of the parent is not defined – the window might be clamped or might be positioned according to the specification.

height: value

Set to ‘value’ the height of the widget within the parent widget. The value is specified in a relative fashion as an integer, so that the ratio of ‘value’ to the current size of the parent will be preserved upon resize.

1.49.5 BLOX.BWidget: widget protocol

activate

At any given time, one window on each display is designated as the focus window; any key press or key release events for the display are sent to that window. This method allows one to choose which window will have the focus in the receiver’s display

If the application currently has the input focus on the receiver’s display, this method resets the input focus for the receiver’s display to the receiver. If the application doesn’t currently have the input focus on the receiver’s display, Blox will remember the receiver as the focus for its top-level; the next time the focus arrives at the top-level, it will be redirected to the receiver (this is because most window managers will set the focus only to top-level windows, leaving it up to the application to redirect the focus among the children of the top-level).

activateNext

Activate the next widget in the focus ‘tabbing’ order. The focus order depends on the widget creation order; you can set which widgets are in the order with the #tabStop: method.

1.50.2 BLOX.BWindow: accessing

callback

Answer a DirectedMessage that is sent to verify whether the receiver must be destroyed when the user asks to unmap it.

callback: aReceiver message: aSymbol

Set up so that aReceiver is sent the aSymbol message (the name of a zero- or one-argument selector) when the user asks to unmap the receiver. If the method accepts an argument, the receiver is passed.

If the method returns true, the window and its children are destroyed (which is the default action, taken if no callback is set up). If the method returns false, the window is left in place.

invokeCallback

Generate a synthetic callback, destroying the window if no callback was set up or if the callback method answers true.

label

Answer the value of the label option for the widget.

Specifies a string to be displayed inside the widget. The way in which the string is displayed depends on the particular widget and may be determined by other options, such as anchor. For windows, this is the title of the window.

label: value

Set the value of the label option for the widget.

Specifies a string to be displayed inside the widget. The way in which the string is displayed depends on the particular widget and may be determined by other options, such as anchor. For windows, this is the title of the window.

menu: value

Set the value of the menu option for the widget.

Specifies a menu widget to be used as a menubar. On the Macintosh, the menubar will be displayed accross the top of the main monitor. On Microsoft Windows and all UNIX platforms, the menu will appear accross the toplevel window as part of the window dressing maintained by the window manager.

resizable

Answer the value of the resizable option for the widget.

Answer whether the user can be resize the window or not. If resizing is disabled, then the window’s size will be the size from the most recent interactive resize or geometry-setting method. If there has been no such operation then the window’s natural size will be used.

resizable: value

Set the value of the resizable option for the widget.

height

height: anInteger

Ask the window manager to give the given height to the window.

heightAbsolute

Answer the height of the window, as deduced from the geometry that the window manager imposed on the window.

heightOffset: value

This method should not be called for instances of this class.

iconify

Map a window and in iconified state. If a window has not been mapped yet, this is achieved by mapping the window in withdrawn state first, and then iconifying it.

isMapped

Answer whether the window is mapped

isWindow

Answer ‘true’.

map

Map the window and bring it to the topmost position in the Z-order.

modalMap

Map the window while establishing an application-local grab for it. An event loop is started that ends only after the window has been destroyed.

When a grab is set for a particular window, all pointer events are restructed to the grab window and its descendants in Blox’s window hierarchy. Whenever the pointer is within the grab window’s subtree, the pointer will behave exactly the same as if there had been no grab grab at all and all events will be reported in the normal fashion. When the pointer is outside the window’s tree, button presses and releases and mouse motion events are reported to the grabbing window, and window entry and window exit events are ignored. In other words, windows outside the grab subtree will be visible on the screen but they will be insensitive until the grab is released. The tree of windows underneath the grab window can include top-level windows, in which case all of those top-level windows and their descendants will continue to receive mouse events during the grab. Keyboard events (key presses and key releases) are delivered as usual: the window manager controls which application receives keyboard events, and if they are sent to any window in the grabbing application then they are redirected to the window owning the focus.

state

Set the value of the state option for the window.

Specifies one of four states for the window: either normal, iconic, withdrawn, or (Windows only) zoomed.

state: aSymbol

Raise an error. To set a BWindow’s state, use #map and #unmap.

unmap

Unmap a window, causing it to be forgotten about by the window manager

atEnd

Return whether the receiver can produce another character in the receiver; by default, this is true if there is another character in the origin.

atEndOfInput

Return whether there is another character in the origin. This method is for private use by encoders, calling it outside won’t corrupt the internal state of the encoder but the result probably won’t be meaningful (depending on the innards of the encoder).

next

Return the next character in the receiver; by default, this is the next character in the origin.

nextInput

Return the next character in the origin. This method is for private use by encoders, calling it outside may corrupt the internal state of the encoder.

nextInputAvailable: n into: aCollection startingAt: pos

Place up to N characters from the origin in aCollection. This method is for private use by encoders, calling it outside may corrupt the internal state of the encoder.

peekInput

Return the next character in the origin without advancing it.

Translations are accessed using either #at: or the shortcut binary messages ‘?’. This way, common idioms to access translated strings will be

string := NLS? ’abc’. string := self? ’abc’.

(in the first case NLS is a class variable, in the second the receiver implements #? through delegation) which is only five or six characters longer than the traditional

string := ’abc’.

Next: , Up: I18N.LcMessagesMoFileVersion0   [Index]

5.14.1 I18N.LcMessagesMoFileVersion0 class: documentation

fileFormatDescription

The Format of GNU MO Files (excerpt of the GNU gettext manual) ==============================================================

The format of the generated MO files is best described by a picture, which appears below.

The first two words serve the identification of the file. The magic number will always signal GNU MO files. The number is stored in the byte order of the generating machine, so the magic number really is two numbers: ‘0x950412de’ and ‘0xde120495’. The second word describes the current revision of the file format. For now the revision is 0. This might change in future versions, and ensures that the readers of MO files can distinguish new formats from old ones, so that both can be handled correctly. The version is kept separate from the magic number, instead of using different magic numbers for different formats, mainly because ‘/etc/magic’ is not updated often. It might be better to have magic separated from internal format version identification.

Follow a number of pointers to later tables in the file, allowing for the extension of the prefix part of MO files without having to recompile programs reading them. This might become useful for later inserting a few flag bits, indication about the charset used, new tables, or other things.

Then, at offset O and offset T in the picture, two tables of string descriptors can be found. In both tables, each string descriptor uses two 32 bits integers, one for the string length, another for the offset of the string in the MO file, counting in bytes from the start of the file. The first table contains descriptors for the original strings, and is sorted so the original strings are in increasing lexicographical order. The second table contains descriptors for the translated strings, and is parallel to the first table: to find the corresponding translation one has to access the array slot in the second array with the same index.

Having the original strings sorted enables the use of simple binary search, for when the MO file does not contain an hashing table, or for when it is not practical to use the hashing table provided in the MO file. This also has another advantage, as the empty string in a PO file GNU ‘gettext’ is usually *translated* into some system information attached to that particular MO file, and the empty string necessarily becomes the first in both the original and translated tables, making the system information very easy to find.

The size S of the hash table can be zero. In this case, the hash table itself is not contained in the MO file. Some people might prefer this because a precomputed hashing table takes disk space, and does not win *that* much speed. The hash table contains indices to the sorted array of strings in the MO file. Conflict resolution is done by double hashing. The precise hashing algorithm used is fairly dependent of GNU ‘gettext’ code, and is not documented here.

As for the strings themselves, they follow the hash file, and each is terminated with a <NUL>, and this <NUL> is not counted in the length which appears in the string descriptor. The ‘msgfmt’ program has an option selecting the alignment for MO file strings. With this option, each string is separately aligned so it starts at an offset which is a multiple of the alignment value. On some RISC machines, a correct alignment will speed things up.

Nothing prevents a MO file from having embedded <NUL>s in strings. However, the program interface currently used already presumes that strings are <NUL> terminated, so embedded <NUL>s are somewhat useless. But MO file format is general enough so other interfaces would be later possible, if for example, we ever want to implement wide characters right in MO files, where <NUL> bytes may accidently appear.

This particular issue has been strongly debated in the GNU ‘gettext’ development forum, and it is expectable that MO file format will evolve or change over time. It is even possible that many formats may later be supported concurrently. But surely, we have to start somewhere, and the MO file format described here is a good start. Nothing is cast in concrete, and the format may later evolve fairly easily, so we should feel comfortable with the current approach.

Locating Message Catalog Files ——————————

Because many different languages for many different packages have to be stored we need some way to add these information to file message catalog files. The way usually used in Unix environments is have this encoding in the file name. This is also done here. The directory name given in ‘bindtextdomain’s second argument (or the default directory), followed by the value and name of the locale and the domain name are concatenated:

DIR_NAME/LOCALE/LC_CATEGORY/DOMAIN_NAME.mo

The default value for DIR_NAME is system specific. For the GNU library, and for packages adhering to its conventions, it’s: /usr/local/share/locale

LOCALE is the value of the locale whose name is this ‘LC_CATEGORY’. For ‘gettext’ and ‘dgettext’ this locale is always ‘LC_MESSAGES’.

6.1 Sockets.AbstractSocket

Defined in namespace Sockets
Superclass: Stream
Category: Sockets-Streams

This class models a client site socket. A socket is a TCP/IP endpoint for network communications conceptually similar to a file handle.

This class only takes care of buffering and blocking if requested. It uses an underlying socket implementation object which is a subclass of AbstractSocketImpl. This is necessary to hide some methods in FileDescriptor that are not relevant to sockets, as well as to implement buffering independently of the implementation nuances required by the different address families. The address family class (a subclass of SocketAddress) acts as a factory for socket implementation objects.

Modify the value of a socket option. The option identifier is in ‘opt’ and the level is in ‘level’. anObject can be a boolean, integer, socket address or ByteArray. A layer over this method is provided for the most common socket options, so this will be rarely used.

optionAt: opt level: level size: size

Answer in a ByteArray of the given size the value of a socket option. The option identifier is in ‘opt’ and the level is in ‘level’. A layer over this method is provided for the most common socket options, so this will be rarely used.

soLinger

Answer the number of seconds by which a ‘close’ operation can block to ensure that all the packets have reliably reached the destination, or nil if those packets are left to their destiny.

soLinger: linger

Set the number of seconds by which a ‘close’ operation can block to ensure that all the packets have reliably reached the destination. If linger is nil, those packets are left to their destiny.

soReuseAddr

Answer whether another socket can be bound the same local address as this one. If you enable this option, you can actually have two sockets with the same Internet port number; but the system won’t allow you to use the two identically-named sockets in a way that would confuse the Internet. The reason for this option is that some higher-level Internet protocols, including FTP, require you to keep reusing the same socket number.

soReuseAddr: aBoolean

Set whether another socket can be bound the same local address as this one.

valueWithoutBuffering: aBlock

Evaluate aBlock, ensuring that any data that it writes to the socket is sent immediately to the network.

This class models a connectionless datagram socket that sends individual packets of data across the network. In the TCP/IP world, this means UDP. Datagram packets do not have guaranteed delivery, or any guarantee about the order the data will be received on the remote host.

This class uses an underlying socket implementation object which is a subclass of DatagramSocketImpl. This is less necessary for datagram sockets than for stream sockets (except for hiding some methods in FileDescriptor that are not relevant to sockets), but it is done for cleanliness and symmetry.

Answer a new IPAddress from a String containing the requested address in digit form. Hexadecimal forms are not allowed.

An Internet host address is a number containing four bytes of data. These are divided into two parts, a network number and a local network address number within that network. The network number consists of the first one, two or three bytes; the rest of the bytes are the local address.

Network numbers are registered with the Network Information Center (NIC), and are divided into three classes–A, B, and C. The local network address numbers of individual machines are registered with the administrator of the particular network.

Class A networks have single-byte numbers in the range 0 to 127. There are only a small number of Class A networks, but they can each support a very large number of hosts (several millions). Medium-sized Class B networks have two-byte network numbers, with the first byte in the range 128 to 191; they support several thousands of host, but are almost exhausted. Class C networks are the smallest and the most commonly available; they have three-byte network numbers, with the first byte in the range 192-223. Class D (multicast, 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) and E (research, 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255) also have three-byte network numbers.

Thus, the first 1, 2, or 3 bytes of an Internet address specifies a network. The remaining bytes of the Internet address specify the address within that network. The Class A network 0 is reserved for broadcast to all networks. In addition, the host number 0 within each network is reserved for broadcast to all hosts in that network. The Class A network 127 is reserved for loopback; you can always use the Internet address ‘127.0.0.1’ to refer to the host machine (this is answered by the #loopbackHost class method).

Since a single machine can be a member of multiple networks, it can have multiple Internet host addresses. However, there is never supposed to be more than one machine with the same host address.

There are four forms of the standard numbers-and-dots notation for Internet addresses: a.b.c.d specifies all four bytes of the address individually; a.b.c interprets as a 2-byte quantity, which is useful for specifying host addresses in a Class B network with network address number a.b; a.b intrprets the last part of the address as a 3-byte quantity, which is useful for specifying host addresses in a Class A network with network address number a.

If only one part is given, this corresponds directly to the host address number.

8 Libraries for the SAX, DOM, XPath and XSLT standards

by Thomas Gagne, edited by Paolo Bonzini


Next: , Up: XML/XPath/XSL packages   [Index]

8.1 Building a DOM from XML

If you’re like me, the first thing you may be trying to do is build a Document Object Model (DOM) tree from some kind of XML input. Assuming you’ve got the XML in a String the following code will build an XML Document:

XML.SAXParser defaultParserClass processDocumentString: theXMLString 
	beforeScanDo: [ :p | p validate: false].

Though the code above appears as though it should be easy to use, there’s some hidden features you should know about. First, theXMLString can not contain any null bytes. Depending on where your XML comes from it may have a NULL byte at the end (like mine did). Many languages implement strings as an array of bytes (usually printable ones) ending with a null (a character with integer value 0). In my case, the XML was coming from a remote client written in C using middleware to send the message to my server. Since the middleware doesn’t assume to know anything about the message it received, it’s received into a String, null-byte and all. To remove it I used:

XML.SAXParser defaultParserClass
    processDocumentString: (aString copyWithout: 0 asCharacter)
    beforeScanDo: [ :p | p validate: false].

Starting out, I didn’t know much about the value of DTDs either (Document Type Definitions), so I wasn’t using them (more on why you should later). What you need to know is XML comes in two flavors, (three if you include broken as a flavor) well-formed and valid.

Well-formed XML is simply XML following the basic rules, like only one top-level (the document’s root), no overlapping tags, and a few other contraints. Valid XML means not only is the XML well-formed, but it’s also compliant with some kind of rule base about which elements are allowed to follow which other ones, whether or not attributes are permitted and what their values and defaults should be, etc.

There’s no way to get around well-formedness. Most XML tools complain vociferously about missing or open tags. What you may not have lying around, though, is a DTD describing how the XML should be assembled. If you need to skip validation for any reason you must include the selector:

beforeScanDo: [ :p | p validate: false].

Now that you have your XML document, you probably want to access its contents (why else would you want one, right?). Let’s take the following (brief) XML as an example:

<porder porder_num="10351">
  <porder_head>
    <order_date>01/04/2000</order_date>
  </porder_head>
  <porder_line>
    <part>widget</part>
    <quantity>1.0000</quantity>
  </porder_line>
  <porder_line>
    <part>doodad</part>
    <quantity>2.0000</quantity>
  </porder_line>
</porder>

The first thing you probably want to know is how to access the different tags, and more specifically, how to access the contents of those tags. First, by way of providing a roadmap to the elements I’ll show you the Smalltalk code for getting different pieces of the document, assuming the variable you’ve assigned the document to is named doc. I’ll also create instance variables for the various elements as I go along:

Element you wantCode to get it
porder elementdoc root
porder_headdoc root elementNamed: 'porder_head'
order_date (as a String)(porderHead elementNamed: 'order_date') characterData
order_date (as a Date)(Date readFrom: (porderHead elementNamed: 'order_date') characterData readStream)
a collection with both porder_linesdoc root elementsNamed: 'porder_line'

I’ve deliberately left-out accessing porder’s attribute because accessing them is different from accessing other nodes. You can get an OrderedCollection of attributes using:

attributes := doc root attributes.

but the ordered collection isn’t really useful. To access any single attribute you’d need to look for it in the collection:

porderNum := (attributes detect: [ :each | each key type = 'porder_num' ]) value.

But that’s not a whole lot of fun, especially if there’s a lot you need to get, and if there’s any possibility the attribute may not exist. Then you have to do the whole detect:ifNone: thing, and boy, does that make the code readable! What I did instead was create a method in my objects’ abstract:

dictionaryForAttributes: aCollection
    ^Dictionary withAll: (aCollection
	collect: [ :each | each key type -> each value ])

Now what you have is an incrementally more useful method for getting attributes:

attributes := self dictionaryForAttributes: doc root attributes.
porderNum := attributes at: 'porder_num'.

At first this appears like more code, and for a single attribute it probably is. But if an element includes more than one attribute the payoff is fairly decent. Of course, you still need to handle the absence of an attribute in the dictionary but I think it reads a little better using a Dictionary than an OrderedCollection:

porderNum := attributes at: 'porder_num' ifAbsent: [].

8.2 Building XML

There’s little reason to build an XML document if its not going to be processed by something down the road. Most XML tools require XML documents have a document root. A root is a tag inside which all other tags exist, or put another way, a single parent node from which all other nodes descend. In my case, a co-worker was attempting to use Sablot’s sabcmd to transform the XML from my server into HTML. So start your document with the root ready to go:

replyDoc := XML.Document new.
replyDoc addNode: (XML.Element tag: 'response').

Before doing anything more complex, we can play with our new XML document. Assuming you’re going to want to send the XML text to someone or write it to a file, you may first want to capture it in a string. Even if you don’t want to first capture it into a string our example is going to:

replyStream := String new writeStream.
replyDoc printOn: replyStream.

If we examine’d the contents of our replyStream (replyStream contents) we’d see:

<response/>

Which is what an empty tag looks like.

Let’s add some text to our XML document now. Let’s say we want it to look like:

<response>Hello, world!</response>

Building this actually requires two nodes be added to a new XML document. The first node (or element) is named response. The second node adds text to the first:

replyDoc := XML.Document new.
replyDoc addNode: (XML.Element tag: response). "our root node"
replyDoc root addNode: (XML.Text text: 'Hello, world!').

Another way of writing it, and the way I’ve adopted in my code is to create the whole node before adding it. This is not just to reduce the appearance of assignments, but it suggests a template for cascading #addNode: messages to an element, which, if you’re building any kind of nontrivial XML, you’ll be doing a lot of:

replyDoc := XML.Document new.
replyDoc addNode: (
    (XML.Element tag: response)
        addNode: (XML.Text text: 'Hello, world!')
).

Unless you’re absolutely sure you’ll never accidentally add text nodes that have an ampersand (&) in them, you’ll need to escape it to get past XML parsers. The way I got around this was to escape them whenever I added text nodes. To make it easier, I (again) created a method in my objects’ abstract superclass:

asXMLElement: tag value: aValue
    | n |

    n := XML.Element tag: tag.
    aValue isNil ifFalse: [
	n addNode: (XML.Text
	    text: (aValue displayString copyReplaceAll: '&' with: '&amp;'))].
    ^n

Calls to self asXMLElement: 'sometagname' value: anInstanceVariable are littered throughout my code.

Adding attributes to documents is, thankfully, easier than accessing them. If we wanted to add an attribute to our document above we can do so with a single statement:

replyDoc root addAttribute: (XML.Attribute name: 'isExample' value: 'yes').

Now, our XML looks like:

<response isExample="yes">Hello, world!</response>

Next: , Previous: , Up: XML/XPath/XSL packages   [Index]

8.3 Using DTDs

What I didn’t appreciate in my first XML project (this one) was how much error checking I was doing just to verify the format of incoming XML. During testing I’d go looking for attributes or elements that should have been there but for various reasons were not. Because I was coding fast and furious I overlooked some and ignored others. Testing quickly ferreted out my carelessnes and my application started throwing exceptions faster than election officials throw chads.

The cure, at least for formatting, is having a DTD, or Document Type Definition describing the XML format. You can read more about the syntax of DTDs in the XML specification.

There’s not a lot programmers are able to do with DTDs in VisualWorks, except requiring incoming XML to include DOCTYPE statements. There is something programmers need to do to handle the exceptions the XML parser throws when it finds errors.

I’m not an expert at writing Smalltalk exception handling code, and I haven’t decided on what those exceptions should look like to the client who sent the poorly formatted XML in the first place. The code below does a decent job of catching the errors and putting the description of the error into an XML response. It’s also a fairly decent example of XML document building as discussed earlier.

replyDoc := XML.Document new.
replyDoc addNode: (XML.Element tag: 'response').

[
    doc := XML.SAXParser defaultParserClass processDocumentString: (anIsdMessage message copyWithout: 0) asString
] on: Exception do: [ :ex |
    replyDoc root 
        addAttribute: (XML.Attribute name: 'type' value: 'Exception');
        addNode: ((XML.Element tag: 'description')
            addNode: (XML.Text text: ex signal description));
        addNode: ((XML.Element tag: 'message')
            addNode: (XML.Text text: ex messageText))
].

I said before there’s not a lot programmers can do with DTDs, but there are some things I wish the XML library would do:
