Running the Sample

When you run the

CursorWriter

sample, the class is compiled, and the XML

stream is parsed as events and written to a file named

CursorWriter-Output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html:html xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
<html:head>
<html:title>Frobnostication</html:title></html:head>
<html:body>
<html:p>Moved to <html:a href="http://frob.com">here</html:a>
</html:p>
</html:body>
</html:html>

Note that in the actual

CursorWriter-Output

file, this stream is written without

any linebreaks; the breaks have been added here to make the listing easier to
read. In this example, as with the object stream in the

event Sample Event-

Parse.java

sample, the namespace prefix is added to both the opening and clos-

ing HTML tags. This is not required by the StAX specification, but it is good
practice when the final scope of the output stream is not definitively known.
