12.42. Configuring the SAXToXMLWriter

  1. When writing a SAXVisitor implementation with the SAXToXMLWriter, set the SAXToXMLWriter constructor to a boolean. This is the encodeSpecialChars arg and it should be set based on the rewriteEntities filter setting.
  2. Move the @StreamResultWriter annotation from the class and onto the SAXToXMLWriter instance declaration. This results in Smooks creating the SAXToXMLWriter instance which is then initialized with the rewriteEntities filter setting for the associated Smooks instance: 
    @TextConsumer
public class MyVisitor implements SAXVisitAfter 
{
   @StreamResultWriter
   private SAXToXMLWriter xmlWriter;

   public void visitAfter(SAXElement element, ExecutionContext executionContext) 
                                             throws SmooksException, IOException 
   {
      xmlWriter.writeStartElement(element);
      xmlWriter.writeText(element);
      xmlWriter.writeEndElement(element);
   }
}
