Table 14-3 summarizes the methods of available through the TCtx interface.

Table 14-3 Summary of TCtx Methods; Ctx Package

Function	Summary
TCtx	Class constructor.
getEncoding	Get data encoding in use by XML context.
getErrHandler	Get Error Handler provided by the user.
getMemAllocator	Get memory allocator.
isSimple	Get a flag that indicates if data encoding is simple.
isUnicode	Get a flag indicating if data encoding is Unicode.
~TCtx	Destructor - clears space and destroys the implementation.

TCtx

TCtx constructor. It throws XmlException if it fails to create a context object.

Syntax	Description
TCtx() throw (XMLException)	This constructor creates the context object and initializes it with default values of parameters.
TCtx( oratext* name, ErrorHandler* errh = NULL, MemAllocator* memalloc = NULL, encodings* encs = NULL) throw (XMLException)	This constructor creates the context object and initializes it with parameter values provided by the user.
TCtx( oratext* name, up4 inpblksize, ErrorIfs* errh = NULL, MemAllocator* memalloc = NULL, encodings* encs = NULL) throw (XMLException)	This constructor creates the context object and initializes it with parameter values provided by the user. Takes an additional parameter for memory block size from input source.

Parameter	Description
name	user defined name of the context
errh	user defined error handler
memalloc	user defined memory allocator
encs	user specified encodings
inpblksize	memory block size for input source

Returns

(TCtx) Context object

getEncoding

Returns data encoding in use by XML context. Ordinarily, the data encoding is chosen by the user, so this function is not needed. However, if the data encoding is not specified, and allowed to default, this function can be used to return the name of that default encoding.

Syntax

oratext* getEncoding() const;

Returns

(oratext *) name of data encoding

getErrHandler

This member functions returns Error Handler provided by the user when the context was created, or NULL if none were provided.

Syntax

ErrorHandler* getErrHandler() const;

Returns

(ErrorHandler *) Pointer to the Error Handler object, or NULL

getMemAllocator

This member function returns memory allocator provided by the user when the context was created, or default memory allocator. It is important that this memory allocator is used for all C level memory allocations

Syntax

MemAllocator* getMemAllocator() const;

Returns

(MemAllocator*) Pointer to the memory allocator object

isSimple

Returns a flag saying whether the context's data encoding is "simple", single-byte for each character, like ASCII or EBCDIC.

Syntax

boolean isSimple() const;

Returns

(boolean) TRUE of data encoding is "simple", FALSE otherwise

isUnicode

Returns a flag saying whether the context's data encoding is Unicode, UTF-16, with two-byte for each character.

Syntax

boolean isUnicode() const;

Returns

(boolean) TRUE if data encoding is Unicode, FALSE otherwise

~TCtx

Destructor - should be called by the user the context object is no longer needed

Syntax

~Tctx();
