The javax. class allows the
client of the implementation of this API to specify a DOM
org. as the source of the input tree. The model of
how the Transformer deals with the DOM tree in terms of mismatches with the
XSLT data model or
other data models is beyond the scope of this document. Any of the nodes
derived from org. are legal input.
The javax. class allows
a org. to be specified to which result DOM nodes will
be appended. If an output node is not specified, the transformer will use
javax. to create an
output org. node. If a node is specified, it
should be one of the following: org.,
org., or
org.. Specification of any other node
type is implementation dependent and undefined by this API. If the result is a
org., the output of the transformation must have
a single element root to set as the document element.
The javax. node may be passed
to javax. objects, and
retrieved by trying to cast the result of the
javax. method.
The implementation has no responsibility to use a DOMLocator instead of a
javax. (though line numbers and the
like do not make much sense for a DOM), so the result of getLocator must always
be tested with an instanceof.
