CompilingStylesheetProcessor

public class TransformerFactoryImpl

extends javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory

The TransformerFactoryImpl, which implements the TRaX TransformerFactory interface, processes XSLT stylesheets into a Templates object (a StylesheetRoot).

This class is based on an implementation from the Apache XML Project. In future releases the XML parser, XSLT processor, and associated classes will likely be updated to be based on a later version of the Apache implementations. Since Apache does not guarantee backwards compatibility between versions of their software, we cannot guarantee backwards compatibility of any of the classes contained in the weblogic.apache package or sub-packages.

processFromNode

public javax.xml.transform.Templates processFromNode(org.w3c.dom.Node node)
                                              throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException

getAssociatedStylesheet

public javax.xml.transform.Source getAssociatedStylesheet(javax.xml.transform.Source source,
                                                          java.lang.String media,
                                                          java.lang.String title,
                                                          java.lang.String charset)
                                                   throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException

Get InputSource specification(s) that are associated with the given document specified in the source param, via the xml-stylesheet processing instruction (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-stylesheet/), and that matches the given criteria. Note that it is possible to return several stylesheets that match the criteria, in which case they are applied as if they were a list of imports or cascades.

Note that DOM2 has it's own mechanism for discovering stylesheets. Therefore, there isn't a DOM version of this method.

Parameters:

source - The XML source that is to be searched.

media - The media attribute to be matched. May be null, in which case the prefered templates will be used (i.e. alternate = no).

title - The value of the title attribute to match. May be null.

charset - The value of the charset attribute to match. May be null.

Returns:

A Source object capable of being used to create a Templates object.

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException -

Overrides:

getAssociatedStylesheet in class javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory

newTemplatesHandler

public javax.xml.transform.sax.TemplatesHandler newTemplatesHandler()
                                                             throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException

Create a new Transformer object that performs a copy of the source to the result.

Parameters:

source - An object that holds a URI, input stream, etc.

Returns:

A Transformer object that may be used to perform a transformation in a single thread, never null.

Throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException - May throw this during the parse when it is constructing the Templates object and fails.

Overrides:

newTemplatesHandler in class javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory

getFeature

public boolean getFeature(java.lang.String name)

Look up the value of a feature.

The feature name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for an TransformerFactory to recognize a feature name but to be unable to return its value; this is especially true in the case of an adapter for a SAX1 Parser, which has no way of knowing whether the underlying parser is validating, for example.

Parameters:

name - The feature name, which is a fully-qualified URI.

Returns:

The current state of the feature (true or false).

Overrides:

getFeature in class javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory

setAttribute

                         java.lang.Object value)
                  throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

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

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute.

value - The value of the attribute.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown if the underlying implementation doesn't recognize the attribute.

Overrides:

setAttribute in class javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory

getAttribute

public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String name)
                              throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
