[Htmlparser-developer] Swing integration - Code so far (brief explanation)

[Somik R. <so...@ya...>]

Hi Craig,
    A brief description - you will probably want to use ParserTester. The
code is quite dirty at the moment, but a basic idea is :

[1] HTMLParserAdapter adapts our HTMLParser into Parser (Swing's parser) -
The donkey work comes here with all those if-then statements.
[2] HTMLParserProvider gives me the parser (makes the method public), so I
can control it.
[3] TrialParser - the parser class that allows you to configure which parser
you want. ParserTester uses this to create two different parsers, by using
the c'tor params. Based on the params, at the point of invoking the parser
(in MyParserDelegator), the decision is made as to which parser is to be
used.
[4] MyParserCallBack - the same class is used for both parsers. For every
call back method, an object of a certain time is created, which is collected
in a vector, and is used later for comparison in the testcase. So,
handleSimpleTag() will create a SimpleTagCallBack object. If this method is
correctly called by our parser, then the two objects ought to match. (The
equals method accomplishes this).
[5] testTypes package contains the various types like SimpleTagCallBack,
which aid us in testing these call back objects returned by the two parsers.
[6] ParserTester - the main testing mechanism - where you get to create the
two parsers, choose what html they have to parse, and then compare their
respective callback objects. This one's a nightmare - bcos the swing parser
puts in tags that werent there.

You can ignore the other classes safely (I ought to delete them).
If you have any doubts, pls let me know.

Regards,
Somik
