Class DTDParser

public class DTDParser extends Object

This implements parsing of XML 1.0 DTDs. This conforms to the portion of the XML 1.0 specification related to the external DTD subset. For multi-language applications (such as web servers using XML processing to create dynamic content), a method supports choosing a locale for parser diagnostics which is both understood by the message recipient and supported by the parser. This parser produces a stream of parse events. It supports some features (exposing comments, CDATA sections, and entity references) which are not required to be reported by conformant XML processors.

Method Detail

chooseLocale

public Locale chooseLocale(String[] languages)

Chooses a client locale to use for diagnostics, using the first language specified in the list that is supported by this parser. That locale is then set using setLocale(). Such a list could be provided by a variety of user preference mechanisms, including the HTTP Accept-Language header field.

Parameters: languages Array of language specifiers, ordered with the most preferable one at the front. For example, "en-ca" then "fr-ca", followed by "zh_CN". Both RFC 1766 and Java styles are supported.

Returns: The chosen locale, or null.
