- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getPublicId

          java.lang.String getPublicId()

      Returns the public identifier.

    - #### getLiteralSystemId

          java.lang.String getLiteralSystemId()

      Returns the literal system identifier.

    - #### getBaseSystemId

          java.lang.String getBaseSystemId()

      Returns the base system identifier.

    - #### getExpandedSystemId

          java.lang.String getExpandedSystemId()

      Returns the expanded system identifier.

    - #### getLineNumber

          int getLineNumber()

      Returns the line number, or `-1` if no line number is available.

    - #### getColumnNumber

          int getColumnNumber()

      Returns the column number, or `-1` if no column number is available.

    - #### getCharacterOffset

          int getCharacterOffset()

      Returns the character offset, or `-1` if no character offset is available.

    - #### getEncoding

          java.lang.String getEncoding()

      Returns the encoding of the current entity. Note that, for a given entity, this value can only be considered final once the encoding declaration has been read (or once it has been determined that there is no such declaration) since, no encoding having been specified on the XMLInputSource, the parser will make an initial "guess" which could be in error.

    - #### getXMLVersion

          java.lang.String getXMLVersion()

      Returns the XML version of the current entity. This will normally be the value from the XML or text declaration or defaulted by the parser. Note that that this value may be different than the version of the processing rules applied to the current entity. For instance, an XML 1.1 document may refer to XML 1.0 entities. In such a case the rules of XML 1.1 are applied to the entire document. Also note that, for a given entity, this value can only be considered final once the XML or text declaration has been read or once it has been determined that there is no such declaration.
