Attempt to create an XMLReader from system defaults.
In environments which can support it, the name of the XMLReader
class is determined by trying each these options in order, and
using the first one which succeeds:
- If the system property
org.xml.sax.driver
has a value, that is used as an XMLReader class name.
- The JAR "Services API" is used to look for a class name
in the META-INF/services/org.xml.sax.driver file in
jarfiles available to the runtime.
- SAX parser distributions are strongly encouraged to provide
a default XMLReader class name that will take effect only when
previous options (on this list) are not successful.
- Finally, if
ParserFactory.makeParser()
can
return a system default SAX1 parser, that parser is wrapped in
a ParserAdapter
. (This is a migration aid for SAX1
environments, where the org.xml.sax.parser
system
property will often be usable.)
In environments such as small embedded systems, which can not
support that flexibility, other mechanisms to determine the default
may be used.
Note that many Java environments allow system properties to be
initialized on a command line. This means that in most cases
setting a good value for that property ensures that calls to this
method will succeed, except when security policies intervene.
This will also maximize application portability to older SAX
environments, with less robust implementations of this method.
Returns:
A new XMLReader.
Throws:
-
org.xml.sax.SAXException - If no default XMLReader class
can be identified and instantiated.
