Interface com.ibm.xml.parser.PreRootHandler

public interface PreRootHandler

This interface is implemented by application programs which want to modify the specifics of the DTD that the XML document might be validated against.

For example, an application program may want to tune its standardized API description, which is expressed in the form of a DTD, in order to accomodate platform-specific limitations. In this case, the application is registered with the XML4J parser instance, prior to parsing the input stream, by using the addPreRootHandler method. Subsequently, the implemented handlePreRoot method will be invoked by the XML4J parser instance when the input stream is read; the implemented handlePreRoot method is responsible for manipulating the DTD.
