Creating the Filter

XMLInputFactory xmlif = null ;

try {

xmlif = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();

xmlif.setProperty(

XMLInputFactory.IS_REPLACING_ENTITY_REFERENCES,

Boolean.TRUE);

xmlif.setProperty(

XMLInputFactory.IS_SUPPORTING_EXTERNAL_ENTITIES,

Boolean.FALSE);

xmlif.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_NAMESPACE_AWARE,

Boolean.TRUE);

xmlif.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_COALESCING,

Boolean.TRUE);

} catch (Exception ex) {

ex.printStackTrace();

}

System.out.println(

"FACTORY: " + xmlif);

System.out.println(

"filename = "+ filename);

Creating the Filter

The next step is to instantiate a file input stream and create the stream filter:

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);

XMLStreamReader xmlr = xmlif.createFilteredReader(

xmlif.createXMLStreamReader(fis), new MyStreamFilter());

int eventType = xmlr.getEventType();

printEventType(eventType);

while(xmlr.hasNext()) {

eventType = xmlr.next();

printEventType(eventType);

printName(xmlr,eventType);

printText(xmlr);

if (xmlr.isStartElement()) {

printAttributes(xmlr);

}

printPIData(xmlr);

System.out.println(

"-----------------------------");

}

Capturing the Event Stream

The next step is to capture the event stream. This is done in basically the same way as in the
Event example.
