org.apache.tapestry.parse
Interface ITemplateParser

All Known Implementing Classes:

TemplateParser

public interface ITemplateParser

Service interface for the tapestry.TemplateParser service. Note that this requires a threaded service model.

Note: had to use the 'I' prefix, so that TemplateParser could keep its name. Otherwise, it makes Spindle support really, really ugly.

Since:

4.0

Method Detail

parse

TemplateToken[] parse(char[] templateData,
                      ITemplateParserDelegate delegate,
                      org.apache.hivemind.Resource resourceLocation)
                      throws TemplateParseException

Parses the template data into an array of TemplateTokens.

The parser is decidedly not threadsafe, so care should be taken that only a single thread accesses it.

Parameters:

templateData - the HTML template to parse. Some tokens will hold a reference to this array.

delegate - object that "knows" about defined components

resourceLocation - a description of where the template originated from, used with error messages.

Throws:

TemplateParseException
