Interface Summary

ReportRootHandler

The report root handler provides a special initialization method to resolve the definition of the current parser instance.

Class Summary

CommentHandler	Deprecated. moved into JCommon; this class will be removed in 0.8.5
CommentHintPath	The comment hint path is used to mark the parse position and to store the comments for such an parser path.
IncludeParser	The include parser is used to support include statements in the report definition.
IncludeParserFrontend	A parser front end implementation to support include statements in a report definition.
InitialReportHandler	The InitialReportHandler is used to decide, which parser profile to use for parsing the xml definition.
OperationResult	The OperationResult class provides the possibility to monitor the result of the parsing progress and to handle warnings and errors.
ParserBaseModule	The module definition for the parser base classes module.
ParserEntityResolver	Resolves the JFreeReport DTD specification and routes the parser to a local copy.
ReportGenerator	The reportgenerator initializes the parser and provides an interface the the default parser.
ReportParser	The report parser initializes the parsing engine and coordinates the parsing process.
ReportParserUtil	A helper class to make parsing the xml files a lot easier.

Package org.jfree.report.modules.parser.base Description

Classes for reading XML-based report definitions.

At the moment two report definition formats are supported, the simple profile is a simplified model of the report definition. Although it does not support all advanced features, its simple structure helps to understand the basic report process and makes it possible to easily write report definitions.

The second parser uses a more complex model, which describes the report is a very detailed way. Due to the low level orientation of the report definition format, writing report definition is more complicated and requires detailed knowledge of the object structures used in JFreeReport. Its more generalized structure allows to define every aspect of the report definition and makes it possible to use all implemented features of JFreeReport.
