Method Details

parseURI

public static Document parseURI(URI uriRef)
                         throws SAXException,
IOException

Parses the content of the given URI as an XML document and returns a new DOM Document object. Entity reference nodes will not be expanded. XML inclusions (xi:include elements) will be processed if present.

Parameters:

uriRef - An absolute URI specifying the location of an XML resource.

Returns:

A DOM Document node representing an XML resource.

Throws:

SAXException - If the resource cannot be parsed.

IOException - If the resource is not accessible.

dereferenceURI

public static File dereferenceURI(URI uriRef)
                           throws IOException

Dereferences the given URI and stores the resulting resource representation in a local file. The file will be located in the default temporary file directory.

Parameters:

uriRef - An absolute URI specifying the location of some resource.

Returns:

A File containing the content of the resource; it may be empty if resolution failed for any reason.

Throws:

IOException - If an IO error occurred.

resolveRelativeURI

public static URI resolveRelativeURI(String baseURI,
 String uriRef)

Constructs an absolute URI from the given URI reference and a base URI.

Parameters:

baseURI - The base URI; if present, it must be an absolute URI.

uriRef - A URI reference that may be relative to the given base URI.

Returns:

The resulting URI.

getPercentEncodedString

public static String getPercentEncodedString(String str)

Replaces characters not allowed in the query component of a URI with their equivalent percent-encoded values (UTF-8). While this may encode more "unsafe" characters than is strictly necessary according to RFC 3986 (see ABNF fragment below), it should not affect query processing.

 query = *( pchar / "/" / "?" )
 pchar = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" / "@"
 unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
 

Parameters:

str - The sequence of characters to be encoded.

Returns:

A percent-encoded string.
