Class Parser

java.lang.Object
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.Parser
All Implemented Interfaces:
ParserConstants, ParserTreeConstants

public class Parser extends Object implements ParserTreeConstants, ParserConstants
This class is responsible for parsing a Velocity template. This class was generated by JavaCC using the JJTree extension to produce an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of the template. Please look at the Parser.jjt file which is what controls the generation of this class.

  • Field Details

    • jjtree

      protected JJTParserState jjtree
    • currentTemplateName

      public String currentTemplateName
      Name of current template we are parsing. Passed to us in parse()
    • strictEscape

      public boolean strictEscape
      Set to true if the property RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_REFERENCES_STRICT_ESCAPE is set to true
    • token_source

      public ParserTokenManager token_source
      Generated Token Manager.
    • token

      public Token token
      Current token.
    • jj_nt

      public Token jj_nt
      Next token.
  • Constructor Details

    • Parser

      public Parser(RuntimeServices rs)
      This constructor was added to allow the re-use of parsers. The normal constructor takes a single argument which an InputStream. This simply creates a re-usable parser object, we satisfy the requirement of an InputStream by using a newline character as an input stream.
    • Parser

      public Parser(CharStream stream)
      Constructor with user supplied CharStream.
    • Parser

      public Parser(ParserTokenManager tm)
      Constructor with generated Token Manager.
  • Method Details

    • parse

      public SimpleNode parse(Reader reader, String templateName) throws ParseException
      This was also added to allow parsers to be re-usable. Normal JavaCC use entails passing an input stream to the constructor and the parsing process is carried out once. We want to be able to re-use parsers: we do this by adding this method and re-initializing the lexer with the new stream that we want parsed.
      Throws:
      ParseException
    • getDirective

      public Directive getDirective(String directive)
      This method gets a Directive from the directives Hashtable
    • isDirective

      public boolean isDirective(String directive)
      This method finds out of the directive exists in the directives Map.
    • process

      public final SimpleNode process() throws ParseException
      This method is what starts the whole parsing process. After the parsing is complete and the template has been turned into an AST, this method returns the root of AST which can subsequently be traversed by a visitor which implements the ParserVisitor interface which is generated automatically by JavaCC
      Throws:
      ParseException
    • Statement

      public final void Statement() throws ParseException
      These are the types of statements that are acceptable in Velocity templates.
      Throws:
      ParseException
    • EscapedDirective

      public final void EscapedDirective() throws ParseException
      used to separate the notion of a valid directive that has been escaped, versus something that looks like a directive and is just schmoo. This is important to do as a separate production that creates a node, because we want this, in either case, to stop the further parsing of the Directive() tree.
      Throws:
      ParseException
    • Escape

      public final void Escape() throws ParseException
      Used to catch and process escape sequences in grammatical constructs as escapes outside of VTL are just characters. Right now we have both this and the EscapeDirective() construction because in the EscapeDirective() case, we want to suck in the # and here we don't. We just want the escapes to render correctly
      Throws:
      ParseException
