SAXSource

public class SAXSource extends Object
implements Source

Acts as an holder for SAX-style Source.

Note that XSLT requires namespace support. Attempting to transform an input source that is not generated with a namespace-aware parser may result in errors. Parsers can be made namespace aware by calling the SAXParserFactory.setNamespaceAware(boolean) method.

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

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.

Public Constructors

public SAXSource ()

Zero-argument default constructor. If this constructor is used, and no SAX source is set using setInputSource(InputSource) , then the Transformer will create an empty source InputSource using new InputSource().

• Transformer.transform(Source, Result)

public SAXSource (XMLReader reader, InputSource inputSource)

Create a SAXSource, using an XMLReader and a SAX InputSource. The Transformer or SAXTransformerFactory will set itself to be the reader's ContentHandler, and then will call reader.parse(inputSource).

Parameters

reader	An XMLReader to be used for the parse.
inputSource	A SAX input source reference that must be non-null and that will be passed to the reader parse method.

public SAXSource (InputSource inputSource)

Create a SAXSource, using a SAX InputSource. The Transformer or SAXTransformerFactory creates a reader via XMLReaderFactory (if setXMLReader is not used), sets itself as the reader's ContentHandler, and calls reader.parse(inputSource).

Parameters

inputSource	An input source reference that must be non-null and that will be passed to the parse method of the reader.

Public Methods

public InputSource getInputSource ()

Get the SAX InputSource to be used for the Source.

Returns

• A valid InputSource reference, or null.

public String getSystemId ()

Get the base ID (URI or system ID) from where URIs will be resolved.

Returns

• Base URL for the Source, or null.

public XMLReader getXMLReader ()

Get the XMLReader to be used for the Source.

Returns

• A valid XMLReader or XMLFilter reference, or null.

public void setInputSource (InputSource inputSource)

Set the SAX InputSource to be used for the Source.

Parameters

inputSource	A valid InputSource reference.

public void setSystemId (String systemId)

Set the system identifier for this Source. If an input source has already been set, it will set the system ID or that input source, otherwise it will create a new input source.

The system identifier is optional if there is a byte stream or a character stream, but it is still useful to provide one, since the application can use it to resolve relative URIs and can include it in error messages and warnings (the parser will attempt to open a connection to the URI only if no byte stream or character stream is specified).

Parameters

systemId	The system identifier as a URI string.

public void setXMLReader (XMLReader reader)

Set the XMLReader to be used for the Source.

Parameters

reader	A valid XMLReader or XMLFilter reference.

public static InputSource sourceToInputSource (Source source)

Attempt to obtain a SAX InputSource object from a Source object.

Parameters

source	Must be a non-null Source reference.

Returns

• An InputSource, or null if Source can not be converted.
