newDefaultNSInstance
Creates a new NamespaceAware instance of theSAXParserFactory
builtin system-default implementation. Parsers produced by the factory instance provides support for XML namespaces by default.- Implementation Requirements:
- In addition to creating a factory instance using the same process as
newDefaultInstance()
, this method must set NamespaceAware to true. - Returns:
- a new instance of the
SAXParserFactory
builtin system-default implementation. - Since:
- 13
-
newNSInstance
Creates a new NamespaceAware instance of aSAXParserFactory
. Parsers produced by the factory instance provides support for XML namespaces by default.- Implementation Requirements:
- In addition to creating a factory instance using the same process as
newInstance()
, this method must set NamespaceAware to true. - Returns:
- a new instance of the
SAXParserFactory
- Throws:
FactoryConfigurationError
- in case of service configuration error or if the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.- Since:
- 13
-
newNSInstance
Creates a new NamespaceAware instance of aSAXParserFactory
from the class name. Parsers produced by the factory instance provides support for XML namespaces by default.- Implementation Requirements:
- In addition to creating a factory instance using the same process as
newInstance(java.lang.String, java.lang.ClassLoader)
, this method must set NamespaceAware to true. - Parameters:
factoryClassName
- a fully qualified factory class name that provides implementation ofjavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
.classLoader
- theClassLoader
used to load the factory class. If it isnull
, the currentThread
's context classLoader is used to load the factory class.- Returns:
- a new instance of the
SAXParserFactory
- Throws:
FactoryConfigurationError
- iffactoryClassName
isnull
, or the factory class cannot be loaded, instantiated.- Since:
- 13
-
newDefaultInstance
Creates a new instance of theSAXParserFactory
builtin system-default implementation.- Returns:
- A new instance of the
SAXParserFactory
builtin system-default implementation. - Since:
- 9
-
newInstance
Obtains a new instance of aSAXParserFactory
. This method uses the JAXP Lookup Mechanism to determine theSAXParserFactory
implementation class to load.Once an application has obtained a reference to a
SAXParserFactory
, it can use the factory to configure and obtain parser instances.Tip for Trouble-shooting
Setting the
jaxp.debug
system property will cause this method to print a lot of debug messages toSystem.err
about what it is doing and where it is looking at.If you have problems loading
SAXParser
s, try:java -Djaxp.debug=1 YourProgram ....
- Returns:
- A new instance of a SAXParserFactory.
- Throws:
FactoryConfigurationError
- in case of service configuration error or if the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.
-
newInstance
Obtain a new instance of aSAXParserFactory
from 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
SAXParserFactory
it can use the factory to configure and obtain parser instances.Tip for Trouble-shooting
Setting the
jaxp.debug
system property will cause this method to print a lot of debug messages toSystem.err
about what it is doing and where it is looking at.If you have problems, try:
java -Djaxp.debug=1 YourProgram ....
- Parameters:
factoryClassName
- fully qualified factory class name that provides implementation ofjavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
.classLoader
-ClassLoader
used to load the factory class. Ifnull
currentThread
's context classLoader is used to load the factory class.- Returns:
- New instance of a
SAXParserFactory
- Throws:
FactoryConfigurationError
- iffactoryClassName
isnull
, or the factory class cannot be loaded, instantiated.- Since:
- 1.6
- See Also:
-
newSAXParser
Creates a new instance of a SAXParser using the currently configured factory parameters.- Returns:
- A new instance of a SAXParser.
- Throws:
ParserConfigurationException
- if a parser cannot be created which satisfies the requested configuration.SAXException
- for SAX errors.
-
setNamespaceAware
public void setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness) Specifies that the parser produced by this code will provide support for XML namespaces. By default the value of this is set tofalse
.- Parameters:
awareness
- true if the parser produced by this code will provide support for XML namespaces; false otherwise.
-
setValidating
public void setValidating(boolean validating) Specifies that the parser produced by this code will validate documents as they are parsed. By default the value of this is set tofalse
.Note that "the validation" here means a validating parser as defined in the XML recommendation. In other words, it essentially just controls the DTD validation. (except the legacy two properties defined in JAXP 1.2.)
To use modern schema languages such as W3C XML Schema or RELAX NG instead of DTD, you can configure your parser to be a non-validating parser by leaving the
setValidating(boolean)
methodfalse
, then use thesetSchema(Schema)
method to associate a schema to a parser.- Parameters:
validating
- true if the parser produced by this code will validate documents as they are parsed; false otherwise.
-
isNamespaceAware
public boolean isNamespaceAware()Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce parsers which are namespace aware.- Returns:
- true if the factory is configured to produce parsers which are namespace aware; false otherwise.
-
isValidating
public boolean isValidating()Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce parsers which validate the XML content during parse.- Returns:
- true if the factory is configured to produce parsers which validate the XML content during parse; false otherwise.
-
setFeature
public abstract void setFeature(String name, boolean value) throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXNotRecognizedException, SAXNotSupportedException Sets the particular feature in the underlying implementation of org.xml.sax.XMLReader. A list of the core features and properties can be found at http://www.saxproject.org/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. Examples include entity expansion limits and XML Schema constructs that would consume large amounts of resources. If XML processing is limited for security reasons, it will be reported via a call to the registeredErrorHandler.fatalError(SAXParseException exception)
. SeeSAXParser
parse
methods for handler specification. -
When the feature is
false
, the implementation will processing XML according to the XML specifications without regard to possible implementation limits.
- Parameters:
name
- The name of the feature to be set.value
- The value of the feature to be set.- Throws:
ParserConfigurationException
- if a parser cannot be created which satisfies the requested configuration.SAXNotRecognizedException
- When the underlying XMLReader does not recognize the property name.SAXNotSupportedException
- When the underlying XMLReader recognizes the property name but doesn't support the property.NullPointerException
- If thename
parameter is null.- See Also:
-
-
getFeature
public abstract boolean getFeature(String name) throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXNotRecognizedException, SAXNotSupportedException Returns the particular property requested for in the underlying implementation of org.xml.sax.XMLReader.- Parameters:
name
- The name of the property to be retrieved.- Returns:
- Value of the requested property.
- Throws:
ParserConfigurationException
- if a parser cannot be created which satisfies the requested configuration.SAXNotRecognizedException
- When the underlying XMLReader does not recognize the property name.SAXNotSupportedException
- When the underlying XMLReader recognizes the property name but doesn't support the property.- See Also:
-
getSchema
Gets theSchema
object specified through thesetSchema(Schema schema)
method.- Returns:
- the
Schema
object that was last set through thesetSchema(Schema)
method, or null if the method was not invoked since aSAXParserFactory
is created. - Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- When implementation does not override this method- Since:
- 1.5
-
setSchema
Set theSchema
to be used by parsers created from this factory.When a
Schema
is non-null, a parser will use a validator created from it to validate documents before it passes information down to the application.When warnings/errors/fatal errors are found by the validator, the parser must handle them as if those errors were found by the parser itself. In other words, if the user-specified
ErrorHandler
is set, it must receive those errors, and if not, they must be treated according to the implementation specific default error handling rules.A validator may modify the SAX event stream (for example by adding default values that were missing in documents), and a parser is responsible to make sure that the application will receive those modified event stream.
Initially,
null
is set as theSchema
.This processing will take effect even if the
isValidating()
method returnsfalse
.It is an error to use the
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource
property and/or thehttp://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage
property in conjunction with a non-nullSchema
object. Such configuration will cause aSAXException
exception when those properties are set on aSAXParser
.Note for implementors
A parser must be able to work with any
Schema
implementation. However, parsers and schemas are allowed to use implementation-specific custom mechanisms as long as they yield the result described in the specification.- Parameters:
schema
-Schema
to use,null
to remove a schema.- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- When implementation does not override this method- Since:
- 1.5
-
setXIncludeAware
public void setXIncludeAware(boolean state) Set state of XInclude processing.If XInclude markup is found in the document instance, should it be processed as specified in XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.0.
XInclude processing defaults to
false
.- Parameters:
state
- Set XInclude processing totrue
orfalse
- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- When implementation does not override this method- Since:
- 1.5
-
isXIncludeAware
public boolean isXIncludeAware()Get state of XInclude processing.- Returns:
- current state of XInclude processing
- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- When implementation does not override this method- Since:
- 1.5
