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.

Constant Summary

String	FEATURE	If TransformerFactory.getFeature(String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the TransformerFactory returned from TransformerFactory.newInstance() may be safely cast to a SAXTransformerFactory.
String	FEATURE_XMLFILTER	If TransformerFactory.getFeature(String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the newXMLFilter(Source) and newXMLFilter(Templates) methods are supported.

Protected Constructor Summary

SAXTransformerFactory() The default constructor is protected on purpose.

Constants

public static final String FEATURE

If TransformerFactory.getFeature(String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the TransformerFactory returned from TransformerFactory.newInstance() may be safely cast to a SAXTransformerFactory.

Constant Value: "http://javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory/feature"

public static final String FEATURE_XMLFILTER

If TransformerFactory.getFeature(String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the newXMLFilter(Source) and newXMLFilter(Templates) methods are supported.

Constant Value: "http://javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory/feature/xmlfilter"

Public Methods

public abstract TemplatesHandler newTemplatesHandler ()

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.

public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler ()

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.

public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler (Source src)

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.

public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler (Templates templates)

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.

public abstract XMLFilter newXMLFilter (Source src)

Create an XMLFilter that uses the given Source as the transformation instructions.

Parameters

src	The Source of the transformation instructions.

Returns
