public class Configuration
extends Object
implements Serializable, SourceResolver

This class holds details of user-selected configuration options for a set of transformations and/or queries. When running XSLT, the preferred way of setting configuration options is via the JAXP TransformerFactory interface, but the Configuration object provides a finer level of control. As yet there is no standard API for XQuery, so the only way of setting Configuration information is to use the methods on this class directly.

As well as holding configuration settings, this class acts as a factory for classes providing service in particular areas: error handling, URI resolution, and the like. Some of these services are chosen on the basis of the current platform (Java or .NET), some vary depending whether the environment is schema-aware or not.

The Configuration provides access to a NamePool which is used to manage all the names used in stylesheets, queries, schemas, and source and documents: the NamePool allocates integer codes to these names allowing efficient storage and comparison. Normally there will be a one-to-one relationship between a NamePool and a Configuration. It is possible, however, for several Configuration objects to share the same NamePool. Until Saxon 8.9, by default all Configuration objects shared a single NamePool unless configured otherwise; this changed in 8.9 so that the default is to allocate a new NamePool for each Configuration.

The Configuration establishes the scope within which node identity is managed. Every document belongs to a Configuration, and every node has a distinct identity within that Configuration. In consequence, it is not possible for any query or transformation to manipulate multiple documents unless they all belong to the same Configuration.

Saxon-EE has a subclass of the Configuration class which provides the additional services needed for schema-aware processing. The EnterpriseConfiguration also holds a cache of loaded schema components used for compiling schema-aware transformations and queries, and for validating instance documents.

Since Saxon 8.4, the JavaDoc documentation for Saxon attempts to identify interfaces that are considered stable, and will only be changed in a backwards-incompatible way if there is an overriding reason to do so. These interfaces and methods are labelled with the JavaDoc "since" tag. The value 8.n indicates a method in this category that was introduced in Saxon version 8.n: or in the case of 8.4, that was present in Saxon 8.4 and possibly in earlier releases. (In some cases, these methods have been unchanged for a long time.) Methods without a "since" tag, although public, are provided for internal use or for use by advanced users, and are subject to change from one release to the next. The presence of a "since" tag on a class or interface indicates that there are one or more methods in the class that are considered stable; it does not mean that all methods are stable.

Factory method to create a Configuration. The resulting configuration will be an enterprise Configuration if Saxon-EE is installed and if a license is available; otherwise it will be a basic configuration. Note that the license might not permit all processing options.

Parameters:
classLoader - - the class loader to be used. If null, the context class loader for the current thread is used.
className - - the name of the schema aware configuration class. Defaults to "com.saxonica.EnterpriseConfiguration" if null is supplied. This allows an assembly qualified name to be supplied under .NET. The class, once instantiated, must be an instance of Configuration, but there is nothing that requires it to be schema-aware.
Returns:
an EnterpriseConfiguration object if Saxon-EE can be loaded and a valid license is installed; otherwise, a non-schema-aware configuration object
Since:
9.0

init

protected void init()

makeLicensedConfiguration

public static Configuration makeLicensedConfiguration(ClassLoader classLoader,
                                                      String className)
                                               throws RuntimeException
Static method to instantiate a professional or enterprise configuration.

On the .NET platform, this method should not be called unless it is known that the assembly saxon9sa.dll has already been loaded. This can be achieved by an appropriate call on Assembly.Load(): for an example, see the C# Configuration.cs class in the Saxon.Api namespace.

This method fails if Saxon-EE cannot be loaded, but it does not fail if there is no license available. In that case it returns a schema-aware configuration object, but any attempt to use schema-aware processing will fail.

Parameters:
classLoader - - the class loader to be used. If null, the context class loader for the current thread is used.
className - - the name of the configuration class. Defaults to "com.saxonica.config.ProfessionalConfiguration" if null is supplied. This allows an assembly qualified name to be supplied under .NET. The class, once instantiated, must be an instance of Configuration.
Returns:
the new EnterpriseConfiguration
Throws:
RuntimeException - if the Saxon-EE product cannot be loaded
Since:
9.2 (renamed from makeSchemaAwareConfiguration)

makeSchemaAwareConfiguration

public static Configuration makeSchemaAwareConfiguration(ClassLoader loader,
                                                         String className)
Deprecated. since 9.2. Use makeLicensedConfiguration(java.lang.ClassLoader, java.lang.String) instead.

Make an enterprise configuration

Parameters:
loader - the class loader (or null)
className - the name of the configuration class (or null)

getEditionCode

public String getEditionCode()
Get the edition code identifying this configuration: "HE", "PE" or "EE"


copy

public Configuration copy()
Copy an existing Configuration to create a new Configuration. This is a shallow copy. The new Configuration will share all the option settings of the old; it will also share the same NamePool, and the same DocumentNumberAllocator. If this configuration is schema-aware then the new one will also be schema-aware, and will share the same Schema manager and so on. (So any schema component loaded into one configuration will affect both).

This method may replace a ProfessionalConfiguration by an EnterpriseConfiguration according to what is found in the installed license.

Note that creating a new EnterpriseConfiguration using this method can be significantly cheaper than creating one from scratch, because it avoids the need to verify the Saxon-EE license key if this has already been done.

Returns:
a shallow copy of this Configuration

copyTo

protected void copyTo(Configuration c)

setProcessor

public void setProcessor(Object processor)
Save the Processor object that owns this Configuration in the relevant API.

Parameters:
processor - This can be any object, but it is actually used to hold one of the following:
  • When using the Java s9api interface, the net.sf.saxon.s9api.Processor
  • When using the .NET interface, the Saxon.Api.Processor
  • When using the JAXP transformation interface, the JAXP TransformerFactory
  • When using the JAXP XPath interface, the JAXP XPathFactory
  • When using the JAXP Schema interface, the JAXP SchemaFactory
  • When using XQJ, the XQDataSource
Since:
9.2

getProcessor

public Object getProcessor()
Get the Processor object that created this Configuration in the relevant API.

The main purpose of this interface is to allow extension functions called from a stylesheet or query to get access to the originating processor. This is particularly useful when methods are static as there is then limited scope for passing data from the calling application to the code of the extension function.

Returns:
the processor that was supplied to the setProcessor(Object) method, or null if this method has not been called. In practice this property is used to hold one of the following:
  • When using the Java s9api interface, the net.sf.saxon.s9api.Processor
  • When using the .NET interface, the Saxon.Api.Processor
  • When using the JAXP transformation interface, the JAXP TransformerFactory
  • When using the JAXP XPath interface, the JAXP XPathFactory
  • When using the JAXP Schema interface, the JAXP SchemaFactory
  • When using XQJ, the XQDataSource
Since:
9.2

Display a message about the license status


getHostLanguage

public int getHostLanguage()
Get the host language used in this configuration. The typical values are XSLT and XQUERY. The values XML_SCHEMA and JAVA_APPLICATION may also be encountered.

This method is problematic because it is possible to run multiple transformations or queries within the same configuration. The method is therefore best avoided. Instead, use Container.getHostLanguage(). Internally its only use is in deciding (in Saxon-EE only) which error listener to use by default at compile time, and since the standard XSLT and XQuery listeners have no differences when used for static errors, the choice is immaterial.

Returns:
Configuration.XSLT or Configuration.XQUERY

setHostLanguage

Set the host language used in this configuration. The possible values are XSLT and XQUERY.

Parameters:
hostLanguage - Configuration.XSLT or Configuration.XQUERY

                   throws XPathException
Instantiate a class using the class name provided. Note that the method does not check that the object is of the right class.

This method is intended for internal use only. The call is delegated to the DynamicLoader, which may be overridden by a user-defined DynamicLoader.

Diagnostic output is produced if the option "isTiming" is set (corresponding to the -t option on the command line).

Parameters:
className - A string containing the name of the class, for example "com.microstar.sax.LarkDriver"
classLoader - The ClassLoader to be used to load the class, or null to use the ClassLoader selected by the DynamicLoader.

the URIResolver. If no URIResolver has been set explicitly, the default URIResolver is used.
Since:
8.4

setURIResolver

public void setURIResolver(URIResolver resolver)
Set the URIResolver to be used in this configuration. This will be used to resolve the URIs used statically (e.g. by xsl:include) and also the URIs used dynamically by functions such as document() and doc(). Note that the URIResolver does not resolve the URI in the sense of RFC 2396 (which is also the sense in which the resolve-uri() function uses the term): rather it dereferences an absolute URI to obtain an actual resource, which is returned as a Source object.

Parameters:
resolver - The URIResolver to be used.
Since:
8.4

setParameterizedURIResolver

setCollationURIResolver

public void setCollationURIResolver(CollationURIResolver resolver)
Set a CollationURIResolver to be used to resolve collation URIs (that is, to take a URI identifying a collation, and return the corresponding collation). Note that Saxon attempts first to resolve a collation URI using the resolver registered with the Controller; if that returns null, it tries again using the resolver registered with the Configuration.

Note that it is undefined whether collation URIs are resolved at compile time or at run-time. It is therefore inadvisable to change the CollationURIResolver after compiling a query or stylesheet and before running it.

Parameters:
resolver - the collation URI resolver to be used. This replaces any collation URI resolver previously registered.
Since:

Since:
8.5

getCollationMap

public CollationMap getCollationMap()
Get the collation map, which can be used to register named collations (and a default collation) at the Configuration level.

Since:
9.2

getDefaultCollection

public String getDefaultCollection()
Get the URI of the default collection. Returns null if no default collection URI has been registered.

9.2

setCollectionURIResolver

public void setCollectionURIResolver(CollectionURIResolver resolver)
Set a CollectionURIResolver to be used to resolve collection URIs (that is, the URI supplied in a call to the collection() function).

Collection URIs are always resolved at run-time, using the CollectionURIResolver in force at the time the collection() function is called.

Parameters:
resolver - the collection URI resolver to be used. This replaces any collection URI resolver previously registered.
Since:
8.5

getCollectionURIResolver

public CollectionURIResolver getCollectionURIResolver()

sourceParserClass - the fully qualified name of the XML parser class. This must implement the SAX2 XMLReader interface.

getStyleParserClass

public String getStyleParserClass()
Get the name of the class that will be instantiated to create an XML parser for parsing stylesheet modules.

This method is retained in Saxon for backwards compatibility, but the preferred way of choosing an XML parser is to use JAXP interfaces, for example by supplying a JAXP Source object initialized with an appropriate implementation of org.xml.sax.XMLReader.

Returns:
the fully qualified name of the XML parser class

setStyleParserClass

public void setStyleParserClass(String parser)
Set the name of the class that will be instantiated to create an XML parser for parsing stylesheet modules.

This method is retained in Saxon for backwards compatibility, but the preferred way of choosing an XML parser is to use JAXP interfaces, for example by supplying a JAXP Source object initialized with an appropriate implementation of org.xml.sax.XMLReader.

Parameters:

Returns:
the default properties

isTiming

public boolean isTiming()
Determine whether brief progress messages and timing information will be output to System.err.

This method is provided largely for internal use. Progress messages are normally controlled directly from the command line interfaces, and are not normally used when driving Saxon from the Java API.

Returns:
true if these messages are to be output.

setTiming

public void setTiming(boolean timing)
Determine whether brief progress messages and timing information will be output to System.err.

This method is provided largely for internal use. Progress messages are normally controlled directly from the command line interfaces, and are not normally used when

Parameters:
timing - true if these messages are to be output.

isVersionWarning

public boolean isVersionWarning()
Determine whether a warning is to be output when running against a stylesheet labelled as version="1.0". The XSLT specification requires such a warning unless the user disables it.

Returns:
true if these messages are to be output.
Since:
8.4

setVersionWarning

public void setVersionWarning(boolean warn)
Determine whether a warning is to be output when running against a stylesheet labelled as version="1.0". The XSLT specification requires such a warning unless the user disables it.

Parameters:

8.4

isAllowExternalFunctions

public boolean isAllowExternalFunctions()
Determine whether calls to external Java functions are permitted.

Returns:
true if such calls are permitted.
Since:
8.4

setAllowExternalFunctions

public void setAllowExternalFunctions(boolean allowExternalFunctions)
Determine whether calls to external Java functions are permitted. Allowing external function calls is potentially a security risk if the stylesheet or Query is untrusted, as it allows arbitrary Java methods to be invoked, which can examine or modify the contents of filestore and other resources on the machine where the query/stylesheet is executed.

Setting the value to false disallows all of the following:

Note that this option does not disable use of the doc() function or similar functions to access the filestore of the machine where the transformation or query is running. That should be done using a user-supplied URIResolver

Parameters:
allowExternalFunctions - true if external function calls are to be permitted.
Since:
8.4

public void setRetainDTDAttributeTypes(boolean useTypes)
                                throws TransformerFactoryConfigurationError
Deprecated. since 9.2 This feature was dropped from the final XDM specification and will be dropped in a future Saxon release. Use an XSD schema to define the attribute types instead.

Say whether attribute types obtained from a DTD are to be used to set type annotations on the resulting nodes.

Parameters:

Since:
8.4

setValidation

public void setValidation(boolean validation)
Determine whether the XML parser for source documents will be asked to perform DTD validation of source documents

Since:
8.4

makeDocumentProjector

public ProxyReceiver makeDocumentProjector(PathMap.PathMapRoot map)
Create a document projector for a given path map. Document projection is available only in Saxon-EE, so the Saxon-B version of this method throws an exception

Parameters:
map - the path map used to control document projection
Returns:
a push filter that implements document projection
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if this is not a schema-aware configuration, or if no Saxon-EE license is available

getSchemaValidationMode

public int getSchemaValidationMode()
Ask whether source documents (supplied as a StreamSource or SAXSource) should be subjected to schema validation, and if so, in what validation mode

Returns:
the schema validation mode previously set using setSchemaValidationMode(), or the default mode Validation.STRIP otherwise.

setSchemaValidationMode

public void setSchemaValidationMode(int validationMode)
Say whether source documents (supplied as a StreamSource or SAXSource) should be subjected to schema validation, and if so, in what validation mode. This value may be overridden at the level of a Controller for an individual transformation or query.

Parameters:
validationMode - the validation (or construction) mode to be used for source documents. One of Validation.STRIP, Validation.PRESERVE, Validation.STRICT, Validation.LAX
Since:
8.4

setValidationWarnings

public void setValidationWarnings(boolean warn)
Indicate whether schema validation failures on result documents are to be treated as fatal errors or as warnings.

Parameters:
warn - true if schema validation failures are to be treated as warnings; false if they are to be treated as fatal errors.
Since:
8.4

isValidationWarnings

public boolean isValidationWarnings()
Determine whether schema validation failures on result documents are to be treated as fatal errors or as warnings.

Returns:
true if validation errors are to be treated as warnings (that is, the validation failure is reported but processing continues as normal); false if validation errors are fatal.
Since:
8.4

setExpandAttributeDefaults

public void setExpandAttributeDefaults(boolean expand)
Indicate whether attributes that have a fixed or default value are to be expanded when generating a final result tree. By default (and for conformance with the W3C specifications) it is required that fixed and default values should be expanded. However, there are use cases for example when generating XHTML when this serves no useful purpose and merely bloats the output.

This option can be overridden at the level of a PipelineConfiguration

Parameters:
expand - true if fixed and default values are to be expanded as required by the W3C specifications; false if this action is to be disabled. Note that this only affects the validation of final result trees; it is not possible to suppress expansion of fixed or default values on input documents, as this would make the type annotations on input nodes unsound.
Since:
9.0

isExpandAttributeDefaults

public boolean isExpandAttributeDefaults()
Determine whether elements and attributes that have a fixed or default value are to be expanded. This option applies both to DTD-defined attribute defaults and to schema-defined defaults for elements and attributes. If an XML parser is used that does not report whether defaults have been used, this option is ignored.

*

This option can be overridden at the level of a PipelineConfiguration

Returns:
true if elements and attributes that have a fixed or default value are to be expanded, false if defaults are not to be expanded. The default value is true. Note that the setting "false" is potentially non-conformant with the W3C specifications.
Since:
9.0

getNamePool

public NamePool getNamePool()
Get the target namepool to be used for stylesheets/queries and for source documents.

Returns:
the target name pool. If no NamePool has been specified explicitly, the default NamePool is returned.
Since:
8.4

setNamePool

public void setNamePool(NamePool targetNamePool)
Set the NamePool to be used for stylesheets/queries and for source documents.

Using this method allows several Configurations to share the same NamePool. This was the normal default arrangement until Saxon 8.9, which changed the default so that each Configuration uses its own NamePool.

Sharing a NamePool creates a potential bottleneck, since changes to the namepool are synchronized.

Parameters:
targetNamePool - The NamePool to be used.
Since:
8.4

getTypeHierarchy

public final TypeHierarchy getTypeHierarchy()
Get the TypeHierarchy: a cache holding type information

Returns:
the type hierarchy cache

getDocumentNumberAllocator

public DocumentNumberAllocator getDocumentNumberAllocator()
Get the document number allocator.

The document number allocator is used to allocate a unique number to each document built under this configuration. The document number forms the basis of all tests for node identity; it is therefore essential that when two documents are accessed in the same XPath expression, they have distinct document numbers. Normally this is ensured by building them under the same Configuration. Using this method together with setDocumentNumberAllocator(net.sf.saxon.om.DocumentNumberAllocator), however, it is possible to have two different Configurations that share a single DocumentNumberAllocator

Returns:
the current DocumentNumberAllocator
Since:
9.0

setDocumentNumberAllocator

public void setDocumentNumberAllocator(DocumentNumberAllocator allocator)
Set the document number allocator.

The document number allocator is used to allocate a unique number to each document built under this configuration. The document number forms the basis of all tests for node identity; it is therefore essential that when two documents are accessed in the same XPath expression, they have distinct document numbers. Normally this is ensured by building them under the same Configuration. Using this method together with getDocumentNumberAllocator(), however, it is possible to have two different Configurations that share a single DocumentNumberAllocator

This method is for advanced applications only. Misuse of the method can cause problems with node identity. The method should not be used except while initializing a Configuration, and it should be used only to arrange for two different configurations to share the same DocumentNumberAllocators. In this case they should also share the same NamePool.

Parameters:
allocator - the DocumentNumberAllocator to be used
Since:
9.0

isCompatible

public boolean isCompatible(Configuration other)
Determine whether two Configurations are compatible. When queries, transformations, and path expressions are run, all the Configurations used to build the documents and to compile the queries and stylesheets must be compatible. Two Configurations are compatible if they share the same NamePool and the same DocumentNumberAllocator.

Parameters:
other - the other Configuration to be compared with this one
Returns:
true if the two configurations are compatible

getGlobalDocumentPool

public DocumentPool getGlobalDocumentPool()
Get the global document pool. This is used for documents preloaded during query or stylesheet compilation. The user application can preload documents into the global pool, where they will be found if any query or stylesheet requests the specified document using the doc() or document() function.

Returns:
the global document pool
Since:
9.1

isStripsAllWhiteSpace

getStripsWhiteSpace

public int getStripsWhiteSpace()
Set which kinds of whitespace-only text node should be stripped.

Returns:
kind the kind of whitespace-only text node that should be stripped when building a source tree. One of Whitespace.NONE (none), Whitespace.ALL (all), or Whitespace.IGNORABLE (element-content whitespace as defined in a DTD or schema)

getSourceParser

public XMLReader getSourceParser()
                          throws TransformerFactoryConfigurationError
Get a parser for source documents. The parser is allocated from a pool if any are available from the pool: the client should ideally return the parser to the pool after use, so that it can be reused.

This method is intended primarily for internal use.

Returns:
a parser, in which the namespace properties must be set as follows: namespaces=true; namespace-prefixes=false. The DTD validation feature of the parser will be set on or off depending on the setValidation(boolean) setting.

public StyleNodeFactory getStyleNodeFactory()
Factory method to get the StyleNodeFactory, used for constructing elements in a stylesheet document

Returns:
the StyleNodeFactory used in this Configuration

makeCollator

public StringCollator makeCollator(String className)
                            throws XPathException
Load a named collator class and check it is OK.

This method is intended for internal use only.

Parameters:
className - the name of the collator class
Returns:
a StringCollator to implement a collation
Throws:
XPathException

setLazyConstructionMode

public void setLazyConstructionMode(boolean lazy)
Set lazy construction mode on or off. In lazy construction mode, element constructors are not evaluated until the content of the tree is required. Lazy construction mode is currently experimental and is therefore off by default.

Parameters:
lazy - true to switch lazy construction mode on, false to switch it off.

isLazyConstructionMode

public boolean isLazyConstructionMode()
Determine whether lazy construction mode is on or off. In lazy construction mode, element constructors are not evaluated until the content of the tree is required. Lazy construction mode is currently experimental and is therefore off by default.

Returns:
true if lazy construction mode is enabled

registerExternalObjectModel

public void registerExternalObjectModel(ExternalObjectModel model)
Register an external object model with this Configuration.

Parameters:
model - The external object model. This can either be one of the system-supplied external object models for JDOM, XOM, or DOM, or a user-supplied external object model.

This method is intended for advanced users only, and is subject to change.


getExternalObjectModel

public ExternalObjectModel getExternalObjectModel(String uri)
Get the external object model with a given URI, if registered

Parameters:
uri - the identifying URI of the required external object model
Returns:
the requested external object model if available, or null otherwise

getExternalObjectModel

public ExternalObjectModel getExternalObjectModel(Class nodeClass)
Get the external object model that recognizes a particular class of node, if available

Parameters:
nodeClass - the class of the Node object in the external object model
Returns:
the requested external object model if available, or null otherwise

getExternalObjectModels

public List<ExternalObjectModel> getExternalObjectModels()
Get all the registered external object models.

This method is intended for internal use only.

Returns:
a list of external object models supported. The members of the list are of type ExternalObjectModel

unravel

public NodeInfo unravel(Source source)
Get a NodeInfo corresponding to a DOM or other external Node, either by wrapping or unwrapping the external Node.

This method is intended for internal use.

Parameters:
source - A Source representing the wrapped or unwrapped external Node. This will typically be a DOMSource, but it may be a similar Source recognized by some other registered external object model.
Returns:
If the Source is a DOMSource and the underlying node is a wrapper around a Saxon NodeInfo, returns the wrapped Saxon NodeInfo. If the Source is a DOMSource and the undelying node is not such a wrapper, returns a new Saxon NodeInfo that wraps the DOM Node. If the Source is any other kind of source, it is offered to each registered external object model for similar treatment. The result is the NodeInfo object obtained by wrapping or unwrapping the supplied external node.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the source object is not of a recognized class. This method does not call the registered to resolve the Source.

setDOMLevel

public void setDOMLevel(int level)
Set the level of DOM interface to be used

Parameters:
level - the DOM level. Must be 2 or 3. By default Saxon assumes that DOM level 3 is available; this parameter can be set to the value 2 to indicate that Saxon should not use methods unless they are available in DOM level 2. From Saxon 9.2, this switch remains available, but the use of DOM level 2 is untested and unsupported.

getDOMLevel

public int getDOMLevel()
Get the level of DOM interface to be used

Returns:
the DOM level. Always 2 or 3.

newStaticQueryContext

public StaticQueryContext newStaticQueryContext()
Get a new StaticQueryContext (which is also the factory class for creating a query parser)

Returns:
a new StaticQueryContext

newPendingUpdateList

public PendingUpdateList newPendingUpdateList()
Get a new Pending Update List

Returns:
the new Pending Update List
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if called when using Saxon-B

makePipelineConfiguration

public PipelineConfiguration makePipelineConfiguration()
Make a PipelineConfiguration from the properties of this Configuration

Returns:
a new PipelineConfiguration
Since:
8.4

getConfiguration

public static Configuration getConfiguration(XPathContext context)
Get the configuration, given the context. This is provided as a static method to make it accessible as an extension function.

Parameters:
context - the XPath dynamic context
Returns:
the Saxon Configuration for a given XPath dynamic context

setSourceResolver

public void setSourceResolver(SourceResolver resolver)
Supply a SourceResolver. This is used for handling unknown implementations of the Source interface: a user-supplied SourceResolver can handle such Source objects and translate them to a kind of Source that Saxon understands.

Parameters:
resolver - the source resolver.

getSourceResolver

public SourceResolver getSourceResolver()
Get the current SourceResolver. If none has been supplied, a system-defined SourceResolver is returned.

Returns:
the current SourceResolver

resolveSource

public Source resolveSource(Source source,
                            Configuration config)
                     throws XPathException
Resolve a Source.

Specified by:
resolveSource in interface SourceResolver
Parameters:
source - A source object, typically the source supplied as the first argument to Transformer.transform(javax.xml.transform.Source, javax.xml.transform.Result) or similar methods.
config - The Configuration. This provides the SourceResolver with access to configuration information; it also allows the SourceResolver to invoke the resolveSource() method on the Configuration object as a fallback implementation.
Returns:
a source object that Saxon knows how to process. This must be an instance of one of the classes StreamSource, SAXSource, DOMSource, AugmentedSource, NodeInfo, or PullSource. Return null if the Source object is not recognized
Throws:
XPathException - if the Source object is recognized but cannot be processed

buildDocument

public DocumentInfo buildDocument(Source source)
                           throws XPathException
Build a document tree, using options set on this Configuration and on the supplied source object. Options set on the source object override options set in the Configuration. The Source object must be one of the kinds of source recognized by Saxon, or a source that can be resolved using the registered SourceResolver.

Parameters:
source - the Source to be used. This may be an AugmentedSource, allowing options to be specified for the way in which this document will be built. If an AugmentedSource is supplied then options set in the AugmentedSource take precendence over options set in the Configuration.

From Saxon 9.2, this method always creates a new tree, it never wraps or returns an existing tree.

Returns:
the document node of the constructed document
Throws:
XPathException - if any errors occur during document parsing or validation. Detailed errors occurring during schema validation will be written to the ErrorListener associated with the AugmentedSource, if supplied, or with the Configuration otherwise.
Since:
8.9. Modified in 9.0 to avoid copying a supplied document where this is not necessary. Modified in 9.2 so that this interface always constructs a new tree; it never wraps an existing document, even if an AugmentedSource that requests wrapping is supplied.

buildDocument

public DocumentInfo buildDocument(Source source,
                                  ParseOptions parseOptions)
                           throws XPathException
Build a document, using specified options for parsing and building. This method always constructs a new tree, it never wraps an existing document (regardless of anything in the parseOptions)

Parameters:
source - the source of the document to be constructed. If this is an AugmentedSource, then any parser options contained in the AugmentedSource take precedence over options specified in the parseOptions argument.
parseOptions - options for parsing and constructing the document. Any options that are not explicitly set in parseOptions default first to the values supplied in the source argument if it is an AugmentedSource, and then to the values set in this Configuration. The supplied parseOptions object is not modified.
Returns:
the document node of the constructed document
Throws:
XPathException - if parsing fails, or if the Source represents a node other than a document node
Since:
9.2

makeEmitter

public Receiver makeEmitter(String clarkName,
                            Controller controller)
                     throws XPathException
Load a named output emitter or SAX2 ContentHandler and check it is OK.

Parameters:
clarkName - the QName of the user-supplied ContentHandler (requested as a prefixed value of the method attribute in xsl:output, or anywhere that serialization parameters are allowed), encoded in Clark format as {uri}local
controller - the Controller. Allows a local class loader to be used.
Returns:
a Receiver (despite the name, it is not required to be an Emitter)
Throws:
XPathException

makeUnconstructedElement

public NodeInfo makeUnconstructedElement(ElementCreator instr,
                                         XPathContext context)
                                  throws XPathException
Make an "unconstructed" (that is, lazily-constructed) element node

Parameters:
instr - the instruction that creates the element
context - the dynamic evaluation context
Returns:
the lazily constructed element node
Throws:
XPathException

makeUnconstructedDocument

public NodeInfo makeUnconstructedDocument(DocumentInstr instr,
                                          XPathContext context)
                                   throws XPathException
Make an "unconstructed" (that is, lazily-constructed) document node

Parameters:
instr - the instruction that creates the document node
context - the dynamic evaluation context
Returns:
the lazily constructed document node
Throws:
XPathException

setConfigurationProperty

public void setConfigurationProperty(String name,
                                     Object value)
Set a property of the configuration. This method underpins the setAttribute() method of the TransformerFactory implementation, and is provided to enable setting of Configuration properties using URIs without instantiating a TransformerFactory: specifically, this may be useful when running XQuery, and it is also used by the Validator API

Parameters:
name - the URI identifying the property to be set. See the class FeatureKeys for constants representing the property names that can be set.
value - the value of the property
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the property name is not recognized or if the value is not a valid value for the named property

instantiateClassName

protected Object instantiateClassName(String propertyName,
                                      Object value,
                                      Class requiredClass)

getConfigurationProperty

public Object getConfigurationProperty(String name)
Get a property of the configuration

Parameters:
name - the name of the required property. See the class FeatureKeys for constants representing the property names that can be requested.
Returns:
the value of the property
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - thrown if the property is not one that Saxon recognizes.
