public abstract Class SAXTransformerFactory

extends TransformerFactory
Class Inheritance
Known Direct Subclasses
com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
Imports
javax.xml.transform.*, org.xml.sax.XMLFilter
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.

FEATURE

If javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory#getFeature returns true when passed this value as an argument, the TransformerFactory returned from javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory#newInstance may be safely cast to a SAXTransformerFactory.

public static final String
FEATURE_XMLFILTER

If javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory#getFeature returns true when passed this value as an argument, the newXMLFilter(Source src) and newXMLFilter(Templates templates) methods are supported.

Method Detail

newTemplatesHandlerback to summary
public abstract TemplatesHandler newTemplatesHandler() throws TransformerConfigurationException

Get a TemplatesHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Templates object.

Returns:TemplatesHandler

A non-null reference to a TransformerHandler, that may be used as a ContentHandler for SAX parse events.

Exceptions
TransformerConfigurationException:
If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
newTransformerHandlerback to summary
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:Source

The Source of the transformation instructions.

Returns:TransformerHandler

TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.

Exceptions
TransformerConfigurationException:
If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.
newTransformerHandlerback to summary
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:Templates

The compiled transformation instructions.

Returns:TransformerHandler

TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.

Exceptions
TransformerConfigurationException:
If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.
newTransformerHandlerback to summary
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:TransformerHandler

A non-null reference to a TransformerHandler, that may be used as a ContentHandler for SAX parse events.

Exceptions
TransformerConfigurationException:
If for some reason the TransformerHandler cannot be created.
newXMLFilterback to summary
public abstract XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Source src) throws TransformerConfigurationException

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

Parameters
src:Source

The Source of the transformation instructions.

Returns:XMLFilter

An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.

Exceptions
TransformerConfigurationException:
If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
newXMLFilterback to summary
public abstract XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Templates templates) throws TransformerConfigurationException

Create an XMLFilter, based on the Templates argument..

Parameters
templates:Templates

The compiled transformation instructions.

Returns:XMLFilter

An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.

Exceptions
TransformerConfigurationException:
If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
