Class SAXSource

Field Detail

• FEATURE

  public static final String FEATURE

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

Constructor Detail

• SAXSource

  public SAXSource()

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

  See Also:

  Transformer.transform(Source xmlSource, Result outputTarget)

• SAXSource

  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.

• SAXSource

  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.

Method Detail

• setXMLReader

  public void setXMLReader(XMLReader reader)

  Set the XMLReader to be used for the Source.

  Parameters:

  reader - A valid XMLReader or XMLFilter reference.

• getXMLReader

  public XMLReader getXMLReader()

  Get the XMLReader to be used for the Source.

  Returns:

  A valid XMLReader or XMLFilter reference, or null.

• setInputSource

  public void setInputSource(InputSource inputSource)

  Set the SAX InputSource to be used for the Source.

  Parameters:

  inputSource - A valid InputSource reference.

• getInputSource

  public InputSource getInputSource()

  Get the SAX InputSource to be used for the Source.

  Returns:

  A valid InputSource reference, or null.

• setSystemId

  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).

  Specified by:

  setSystemId in interface Source

  Parameters:

  systemId - The system identifier as a URI string.

• getSystemId

  public String getSystemId()

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

  Specified by:

  getSystemId in interface Source

  Returns:

  Base URL for the Source, or null.

• sourceToInputSource

  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.
