public class XdmDestination extends AbstractDestination
An XdmDestination is a Destination in which an XdmNode is constructed to hold the output of a query or transformation: that is, a tree using Saxon's implementation of the XDM data model

No data needs to be supplied to the XdmDestination object. The query or transformation populates an XdmNode, which may then be retrieved using the getXdmNode method.

An XdmDestination is designed to hold a single tree rooted at a document node. If the result of a query is an arbitrary sequence, it will be normalized according to the rules of the "sequence normalization" operation described in the W3C XSLT/XQuery Serialization Recommendation, which results in either a single document node, or an error.

An XdmDestination can be reused to hold the results of a second query or transformation only if the reset() method is first called to reset its state.

If an XDM tree is to be built from a lexical XML document, or programmatically from the application by writing a sequence of events, the recommended mechanism is to use a DocumentBuilder rather than this class.

Since:
9.1. Changed in 9.9 to perform sequence normalization, so the result is always a single document node. To get the raw results of a query or stylesheet without sequence normalization, use a RawDestination.

  • Method Details

    • setBaseURI

      public void setBaseURI(URI baseURI)
      Set the base URI for the document node that will be created when the XdmDestination is written to. This method must be called before writing to the destination; it has no effect on an XdmNode that has already been constructed.
      Parameters:
      baseURI - the base URI for the node that will be constructed when the XdmDestination is written to. This must be an absolute URI
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the baseURI supplied is not an absolute URI
      Since:
      9.1

    • getBaseURI

      public URI getBaseURI()
      Get the base URI that will be used for the document node when the XdmDestination is written to.
      Returns:
      the base URI that will be used for the node that is constructed when the XdmDestination is written to.
      Since:
      9.1

    • setTreeModel

      public void setTreeModel(TreeModel model)
      Set the tree model to be used for documents constructed using this XdmDestination. By default, the TinyTree is used.
      Parameters:
      model - typically one of the constants TreeModel.TINY_TREE, TreeModel.TINY_TREE_CONDENSED, or TreeModel.LINKED_TREE. However, in principle a user-defined tree model can be used.
      Since:
      9.2

    • getTreeModel

      public TreeModel getTreeModel()
      Get the tree model to be used for documents constructed using this XdmDestination. By default, the TinyTree is used.
      Returns:
      the tree model in use: typically one of the constants TreeModel.TINY_TREE, TreeModel.TINY_TREE_CONDENSED, or TreeModel.LINKED_TREE. However, in principle a user-defined tree model can be used.
      Since:
      9.2

    • getReceiver

      public Receiver getReceiver(PipelineConfiguration pipe, SerializationProperties params)
      Return a Receiver. Saxon calls this method to obtain a Receiver, to which it then sends a sequence of events representing the content of an XML document.
      Parameters:
      pipe - The Saxon configuration. This is supplied so that the destination can use information from the configuration (for example, a reference to the name pool) to construct or configure the returned Receiver.
      params - The serialization properties requested. Largely irrelevant for this Destination, except perhaps for item-separator.
      Returns:
      the Receiver to which events are to be sent.

    • close

      public void close()
      Close the destination, allowing resources to be released. Saxon calls this method when it has finished writing to the destination.

    • getXdmNode

      public XdmNode getXdmNode()
      Return the node at the root of the tree, after it has been constructed.

      This method should not be called while the tree is under construction.

      Returns:
      the root node of the tree (always a document or element node); or null if nothing is written to the tree (for example, the result of a query that returns the empty sequence)
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if called during the execution of the process that is writing the tree.

    • reset

      public void reset()
      Allow the XdmDestination to be reused, without resetting other properties of the destination.
