## Interface XMLDocumentScanner

- All Superinterfaces:
    XMLDocumentSource

      public interface XMLDocumentScanner
      extends XMLDocumentSource

  This interface defines a generic document scanner. This interface allows a scanner to be used interchangably in existing parser configurations.

  If the parser configuration uses a document scanner that implements this interface, components should be able to query the scanner instance from the component manager using the following property identifier:

  > "http://apache.org/xml/properties/internal/document-scanner"

    - #### setInputSource

          void setInputSource(XMLInputSource inputSource)
                              throws java.io.IOException

      Sets the input source.
      Parameters:
        `inputSource` - The input source.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - Thrown on i/o error.

    - #### scanDocument

          boolean scanDocument(boolean complete)
                               throws java.io.IOException,
                                      XNIException

      Scans a document.
      Parameters:
        `complete` - True if the scanner should scan the document completely, pushing all events to the registered document handler. A value of false indicates that that the scanner should only scan the next portion of the document and return. A scanner instance is permitted to completely scan a document if it does not support this "pull" scanning model.
      Returns:
        True if there is more to scan, false otherwise.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`
        `XNIException`
