Re: [Htmlparser-user] HTMLNode query

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

I am trying to write my own scanner class. In the scan method what
should be ideally returned? i.e. the Javadoc says that the return type
is an HTMLNOde however I am not clear as to exactly what shoudl be
returned. Can anyone help me out here?

HTMLNode is only an abstract class. You should not worry about =
implementing it completely, because it is already done in the HTMLTag =
class. So your new tag type object should derive from HTMLTag.

Take a look at the implementation of some of the existing scanners =
(particularly HTMLMetaTagScanner).=20

Bytway, if you writing a new type of scanner - from your earlier mail - =
the HTMLInputTagScanner, you might want to check it in to the main code =
base so we can put it in with the main distribution and you'd also get =
support for maintaining it. If you need CVS developer access, sign up at =
http://sourceforge.net/account/register.php and send me your sourceforge =
id. You can directly check in your code into CVS, and that way =
collaboration becomes easier and faster.

Cheers,
