DOMSource

public class DOMSource extends Object
implements Source

Acts as a holder for a transformation Source tree in the form of a Document Object Model (DOM) tree.

Note that XSLT requires namespace support. Attempting to transform a DOM that was not contructed with a namespace-aware parser may result in errors. Parsers can be made namespace aware by calling DocumentBuilderFactory.setNamespaceAware(boolean).

Constant Summary

String

FEATURE

If TransformerFactory.getFeature(String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the Transformer supports Source input of this type.

Public Constructor Summary

	DOMSource() Zero-argument default constructor.
	DOMSource(Node n) Create a new input source with a DOM node.
	DOMSource(Node node, String systemID) Create a new input source with a DOM node, and with the system ID also passed in as the base URI.

Public Method Summary

Node	getNode() Get the node that represents a Source DOM tree.
String	getSystemId() Get the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.
void	setNode(Node node) Set the node that will represents a Source DOM tree.
void	setSystemId(String systemID) Set the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

Inherited Method Summary

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object.

From interface javax.xml.transform.Source

abstract String	getSystemId() Get the system identifier that was set with setSystemId.
abstract void	setSystemId(String systemId) Set the system identifier for this Source.

Constants

public static final String FEATURE

If TransformerFactory.getFeature(String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the Transformer supports Source input of this type.

Constant Value: "http://javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource/feature"

Public Constructors

public DOMSource ()

Zero-argument default constructor. If this constructor is used, and no DOM source is set using setNode(Node) , then the Transformer will create an empty source Document using DocumentBuilder.newDocument().

public DOMSource (Node n)

Create a new input source with a DOM node. The operation will be applied to the subtree rooted at this node. In XSLT, a "/" pattern still means the root of the tree (not the subtree), and the evaluation of global variables and parameters is done from the root node also.

Parameters

n	The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.

public DOMSource (Node node, String systemID)

Create a new input source with a DOM node, and with the system ID also passed in as the base URI.

Parameters

node	The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.
systemID	Specifies the base URI associated with node.

Public Methods

public Node getNode ()

Get the node that represents a Source DOM tree.

Returns

• The node that is to be transformed.

public String getSystemId ()

Get the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

Returns

• Base URL for this DOM tree.

public void setNode (Node node)

Set the node that will represents a Source DOM tree.

Parameters

node	The node that is to be transformed.

public void setSystemId (String systemID)

Set the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

Parameters

systemID	Base URL for this DOM tree.
