SAXTransformerFactory (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)
javax.xml.transform.sax
Class SAXTransformerFactory
java.lang.Object
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
javax.xml.transform.sax.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.

newTransformerHandler
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 - The Source of the transformation instructions.
Returns:
TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.
Throws:
[TransformerConfigurationException](../../../../javax/xml/transform/TransformerConfigurationException.html "class in javax.xml.transform") - If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.
newTransformerHandler
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 - The compiled transformation instructions.
Returns:
TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.
Throws:
[TransformerConfigurationException](../../../../javax/xml/transform/TransformerConfigurationException.html "class in javax.xml.transform") - If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.
newTransformerHandler
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:
A non-null reference to a TransformerHandler, that may be used as a ContentHandler for SAX parse events.
Throws:
[TransformerConfigurationException](../../../../javax/xml/transform/TransformerConfigurationException.html "class in javax.xml.transform") - If for some reason the TransformerHandler cannot be created.
newTemplatesHandler
public abstract TemplatesHandler newTemplatesHandler() throws TransformerConfigurationException
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](../../../../javax/xml/transform/TransformerConfigurationException.html "class in javax.xml.transform") - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
newXMLFilter
public abstract XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Source src) throws TransformerConfigurationException
Create an XMLFilter that uses the given Source as the transformation instructions.
Parameters:
src - The Source of the transformation instructions.
Returns:
An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.
Throws:
[TransformerConfigurationException](../../../../javax/xml/transform/TransformerConfigurationException.html "class in javax.xml.transform") - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
newXMLFilter
public abstract XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Templates templates) throws TransformerConfigurationException
Create an XMLFilter, based on the Templates argument..
Parameters:
templates - The compiled transformation instructions.
Returns:
An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.
Throws:
[TransformerConfigurationException](../../../../javax/xml/transform/TransformerConfigurationException.html "class in javax.xml.transform") - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
