Class SAXTransformerFactory

java.lang.Object
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory
public abstract class SAXTransformerFactory extends TransformerFactory
This class extends TransformerFactory to provide SAX-specific factory methods. It provides two types of ContentHandlers, one for creating Transformers, the other for creating Templates objects.

If an application wants to set the ErrorHandler or EntityResolver for an XMLReader used during a transformation, it should use a URIResolver to return the SAXSource which provides (with getXMLReader) a reference to the XMLReader.

Since:
1.4

Field Summary

Modifier and Type Field Description
static final String FEATURE
If TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the TransformerFactory returned from TransformerFactory.newInstance() may be safely cast to a SAXTransformerFactory.
static final String FEATURE_XMLFILTER
If TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the newXMLFilter(Source src) and newXMLFilter(Templates templates) methods are supported.

Constructor Summary

SAXTransformerFactory()
Modifier Constructor Description
protected
The default constructor is protected on purpose.

Method Details

newTransformerHandler

public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler(Source src) throws TransformerConfigurationException
Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result, based on the transformation instructions specified by the argument.
Parameters:
src - The Source of the transformation instructions.
Returns:
TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.
Throws:
TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.

newTransformerHandler

public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler(Templates templates) throws TransformerConfigurationException
Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result, based on the Templates argument.
Parameters:
templates - The compiled transformation instructions.
Returns:
TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.
Throws:
TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.

newTransformerHandler

public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler() throws TransformerConfigurationException
Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result. The transformation is defined as an identity (or copy) transformation, for example to copy a series of SAX parse events into a DOM tree.
Returns:
A non-null reference to a TransformerHandler, that may be used as a ContentHandler for SAX parse events.
Throws:
TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TransformerHandler cannot be created.

newTemplatesHandler

public abstract TemplatesHandler newTemplatesHandler() throws TransformerConfigurationException
Get a TemplatesHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Templates object.
Returns:
A non-null reference to a TransformerHandler, that may be used as a ContentHandler for SAX parse events.
Throws:
TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.

newXMLFilter

public abstract XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Source src) throws TransformerConfigurationException
Create an XMLFilter that uses the given Source as the transformation instructions.
Parameters:
src - The Source of the transformation instructions.
Returns:
An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.
Throws:
TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.

newXMLFilter

public abstract XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Templates templates) throws TransformerConfigurationException
Create an XMLFilter, based on the Templates argument..
Parameters:
templates - The compiled transformation instructions.
Returns:
An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.
Throws:
TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
