Method Detail

getConfiguration

public Configuration getConfiguration()

Get the Configuration object

isObjectModelSupported

public boolean isObjectModelSupported(String model)

Test whether a given object model is supported. Returns true if the object model is the Saxon object model, DOM, JDOM, DOM4J, or XOM

Specified by:

isObjectModelSupported in class XPathFactory

Parameters:

model - The URI identifying the object model.

Returns:

true if the object model is one of NamespaceConstant.OBJECT_MODEL_SAXON, XPathConstants.DOM_OBJECT_MODEL, NamespaceConstant.OBJECT_MODEL_JDOM, or NamespaceConstant.OBJECT_MODEL_XOM, or NamespaceConstant.OBJECT_MODEL_DOM4J

setFeature

public void setFeature(String feature,
                       boolean b)
                throws XPathFactoryConfigurationException

Set a feature of this XPath implementation. The only features currently recognized are:

• XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING
• FeatureKeys.SCHEMA_VALIDATION: requests schema validation of source documents. The property is rejected if the configuration is not schema-aware.

Specified by:

setFeature in class XPathFactory

Parameters:

feature - a URI identifying the feature

b - true to set the feature on, false to set it off

Throws:

XPathFactoryConfigurationException - if the feature name is not recognized

getFeature

public boolean getFeature(String feature)
                   throws XPathFactoryConfigurationException

Get a feature of this XPath implementation. The only features currently recognized are:

• XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING
• FeatureKeys.SCHEMA_VALIDATION: requests schema validation of source documents.

Specified by:

getFeature in class XPathFactory

Parameters:

feature - a URI identifying the feature

Returns:

true if the feature is on, false if it is off

Throws:

XPathFactoryConfigurationException - if the feature name is not recognized

setXPathVariableResolver

public void setXPathVariableResolver(XPathVariableResolver xPathVariableResolver)

Set a resolver for XPath variables. This will be used to obtain the value of any variable referenced in an XPath expression. The variable resolver must be allocated before the expression is compiled, but it will only be called when the expression is evaluated.

Specified by:

setXPathVariableResolver in class XPathFactory

Parameters:

xPathVariableResolver - The object used to resolve references to variables.

setXPathFunctionResolver

public void setXPathFunctionResolver(XPathFunctionResolver xPathFunctionResolver)

Set a resolver for XPath functions. This will be used to obtain an implementation of any external function referenced in an XPath expression. This is not required for system functions, Saxon extension functions, constructor functions named after types, or extension functions bound using a namespace that maps to a Java class.

Specified by:

setXPathFunctionResolver in class XPathFactory

Parameters:

xPathFunctionResolver - The object used to resolve references to external functions.

newXPath

public XPath newXPath()

Create an XPath evaluator

Specified by:

newXPath in class XPathFactory

Returns:

an XPath object, which can be used to compile and execute XPath expressions.
