    • main Link icon

      public static void main(String[] args)
      Main program, can be used directly from the command line.

      The format is:

      java net.sf.saxon.Query [options] query-file >output-file

      followed by any number of parameters in the form {keyword=value}... which can be referenced from within the query.

      This program executes the query in query-file.

      Parameters:
      args - List of arguments supplied on operating system command line

    • doQuery Link icon

      public void doQuery(String[] args)
      Support method for main program. This support method can also be invoked from subclasses that support the same command line interface
      Parameters:
      args - the command-line arguments

    • doQuery Link icon

      public void doQuery(String[] args, String command)
      Support method for main program. This support method can also be invoked from subclasses that support the same command line interface
      Parameters:
      args - the command-line arguments
      command - not used, retained for backwards compatibility

    • initializeConfiguration Link icon

      protected void initializeConfiguration(Configuration config)
      Customisation hook called immediately after the Configuration object is instantiated. The intended purpose of this hook is to allow a subclass to supply an OEM license key programmatically, but it can also be used for other initialization of the Configuration. This method is called before analyzing the command line options, so configuration settings made at this stage may be overridden when the command line options are processed. However, if a configuration file is used, the settings defined in the configuration file will have been applied.
      Parameters:
      config - the Configuration object

    • applyLocalOptions Link icon

      protected void applyLocalOptions(CommandLineOptions options, Configuration config)
      Customisation hook: apply options defined locally in a subclass
      Parameters:
      options - the CommandLineOptions
      config - the Saxon Configuration
