  Look up the value of a feature.

  Look up the value of a feature.

Feature names are fully qualified URIs. Implementations may define their own features. false is returned if this TransformerFactory or the Transformers or Templates it creates cannot support the feature. It is possible for an TransformerFactory to expose a feature value but be unable to change its state.

Returns: The current state of the feature, true or false.
Parameters:
- name - Feature name.
Throws:
- NullPointerException - If the name parameter is null.

  Get the object that is used by default during the transformation
to resolve URIs used in document(), xsl:import, or xsl:include.
Returns: The URIResolver that was set with setURIResolver.

  Obtain a new instance of a TransformerFactory.

 

Obtain a new instance of a TransformerFactory. This static method creates a new factory instance This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine the TransformerFactory implementation class to load:

• Use the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory system property.
• Use the properties file "lib/jaxp.properties" in the JRE directory. This configuration file is in standard java.util.Properties format and contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above. The jaxp.properties file is read only once by the JAXP implementation and it's values are then cached for future use. If the file does not exist when the first attempt is made to read from it, no further attempts are made to check for its existence. It is not possible to change the value of any property in jaxp.properties after it has been read for the first time.
• Use the Services API (as detailed in the JAR specification), if available, to determine the classname. The Services API will look for a classname in the file META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory in jars available to the runtime.
• Platform default TransformerFactory instance.

Once an application has obtained a reference to a TransformerFactory it can use the factory to configure and obtain transformer instances.

Returns: new TransformerFactory instance, never null.
Throws:
- TransformerFactoryConfigurationError - Thrown if the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.

  Obtain a new instance of a TransformerFactory from factory class name.

 

Obtain a new instance of a TransformerFactory from factory class name. This function is useful when there are multiple providers in the classpath. It gives more control to the application as it can specify which provider should be loaded.

Once an application has obtained a reference to a TransformerFactory it can use the factory to configure and obtain transformer instances.

Tip for Trouble-shooting

Setting the jaxp.debug system property will cause this method to print a lot of debug messages to System.err about what it is doing and where it is looking at.

If you have problems try:

 java -Djaxp.debug=1 YourProgram ....
 

Returns: new TransformerFactory instance, never null.
Parameters:
- factoryClassName - fully qualified factory class name that provides implementation of javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.
- classLoader - ClassLoader used to load the factory class. If null current Thread's context classLoader is used to load the factory class.
Throws:
- TransformerFactoryConfigurationError - if factoryClassName is null, or the factory class cannot be loaded, instantiated.
Since: 1.6

  Process the Source into a Templates object, which is a a compiled representation of the source.

  Process the Source into a Templates object, which is a
a compiled representation of the source. This Templates object
may then be used concurrently across multiple threads. Creating
a Templates object allows the TransformerFactory to do detailed
performance optimization of transformation instructions, without
penalizing runtime transformation.
Returns: A Templates object capable of being used for transformation purposes, never null.
Parameters:
- source - An object that holds a URL, input stream, etc.
Throws:
- TransformerConfigurationException - When parsing to construct the Templates object fails.

  Create a new Transformer that performs a copy of the Source to the Result.

 

Create a new Transformer that performs a copy of the Source to the Result. i.e. the "identity transform".

Returns: A Transformer object that may be used to perform a transformation in a single thread, never null.
Throws:
- TransformerConfigurationException - When it is not possible to create a Transformer instance.

  Process the Source into a Transformer Object.

 

Process the Source into a Transformer Object. The Source is an XSLT document that conforms to XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0. Care must be taken not to use this Transformer in multiple Threads running concurrently. Different TransformerFactories can be used concurrently by different Threads.

Returns: A Transformer object that may be used to perform a transformation in a single Thread, never null.
Parameters:
- source - Source of XSLT document used to create Transformer. Examples of XML Sources include {@link javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource DOMSource}, {@link javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXSource SAXSource}, and {@link javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource StreamSource}.
Throws:
- TransformerConfigurationException - Thrown if there are errors when parsing the Source or it is not possible to create a Transformer instance.

  Allows the user to set specific attributes on the underlying implementation.

  Allows the user to set specific attributes on the underlying
implementation. An attribute in this context is defined to
be an option that the implementation provides.
An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if the underlying
implementation doesn't recognize the attribute.
Parameters:
- name - The name of the attribute.
- value - The value of the attribute.
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - When implementation does not recognize the attribute.

  Set the error event listener for the TransformerFactory, which is used for the processing of transformation instructions, and not for the transformation itself.

  Set the error event listener for the TransformerFactory, which
is used for the processing of transformation instructions,
and not for the transformation itself.
An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if the
ErrorListener listener is null.
Parameters:
- listener - The new error listener.
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - When listener is null

  Set a feature for this TransformerFactory and Transformers or Templates created by this factory.

 

Set a feature for this TransformerFactory and Transformers or Templates created by this factory.

Feature names are fully qualified URIs. Implementations may define their own features. An TransformerConfigurationException is thrown if this TransformerFactory or the Transformers or Templates it creates cannot support the feature. It is possible for an TransformerFactory to expose a feature value but be unable to change its state.

All implementations are required to support the XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING feature. When the feature is:

• true: the implementation will limit XML processing to conform to implementation limits and behave in a secure fashion as defined by the implementation. Examples include resolving user defined style sheets and functions. If XML processing is limited for security reasons, it will be reported via a call to the registered ErrorListener.fatalError(TransformerException exception). See TransformerFactory.setErrorListener(ErrorListener listener).
• false: the implementation will processing XML according to the XML specifications without regard to possible implementation limits.

Parameters:
- name - Feature name.
- value - Is feature state true or false.
Throws:
- TransformerConfigurationException - if this TransformerFactory or the Transformers or Templates it creates cannot support this feature.
- NullPointerException - If the name parameter is null.
