How to determine the end of character data?
Hi, Cocooners!
According to SAX API the parser is free to split the character data to
chunks. This causes problems in i18n transformer, which handles character
data in the 'characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)' method.
Is there a way to determine the end of the character data? The only solution
seems to be to buffer all the character data then handle it on the first
startElement() event following the characters().
Will this be correct?
Best regards,
Konstantin Piroumian

No, only in cases when the element itself allow child elements, like
<i18n:translate>, where you can have as childs 'i18n:text' and 'i18n:param'
elements.
I've thought about nested i18n elements, CDATA elements and also i18n XML
elements when you should use XML markup inside of a localized string. e.g.:
<i18n:text>This is a <strong>bold</strong> text.</i18n:text>, but haven't
yet have time to look at it more carefully and provide some solution to
these issues.

Can I18NTransformer handle other elements nested into a I18N element?

You have to react on both start and end : startElement() starts a nested
child element, and endElement() terminates the current one. In both
cases, this means end of the current text node.

Yes, of course it must be also the endElement(). But what about this
situation:
<text>
This is a <b>bold</b> font.
</text>
Here is the sequence of events:
startElement("text")
characters("Test is a ")*
startElement("b")
characters("bold")*
endElement("b")
characters("font")*
endElement("text")
*)maybe chunked
As you can see either startElement() or endElement() could happen.
Any ideas how to handle this correctly?

Do you mean the next endElement() event?

Then it should be correct.
