javax.xml.transform.dom

Class DOMSource

Implemented Interfaces:
Source

public class DOMSource
extends java.lang.Object
implements Source

Acts as a holder for a transformation Source tree in the form of a Document Object Model (DOM) tree.

Note that XSLT requires namespace support. Attempting to transform a DOM that was not contructed with a namespace-aware parser may result in errors. Parsers can be made namespace aware by calling javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness).

Field Summary

static String
FEATURE
If TransformerFactory.getFeature(String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the Transformer supports Source input of this type.

Constructor Summary

DOMSource()
Zero-argument default constructor.
DOMSource(Node n)
Create a new input source with a DOM node.
DOMSource(Node node, String systemID)
Create a new input source with a DOM node, and with the system ID also passed in as the base URI.

Method Summary

Node
getNode()
Get the node that represents a Source DOM tree.
String
getSystemId()
Get the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.
void
setNode(Node node)
Set the node that will represents a Source DOM tree.
void
setSystemId(String systemID)
Set the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

FEATURE

public static final String FEATURE
If TransformerFactory.getFeature(String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the Transformer supports Source input of this type.

public DOMSource()

DOMSource

public DOMSource(Node n)
Create a new input source with a DOM node. The operation will be applied to the subtree rooted at this node. In XSLT, a "/" pattern still means the root of the tree (not the subtree), and the evaluation of global variables and parameters is done from the root node also.
Parameters:
n - The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.

DOMSource

public DOMSource(Node node,
                 String systemID)
Create a new input source with a DOM node, and with the system ID also passed in as the base URI.
Parameters:
node - The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.
systemID - Specifies the base URI associated with node.

Method Details

getNode

public Node getNode()
Get the node that represents a Source DOM tree.
Returns:
The node that is to be transformed.

getSystemId

public String getSystemId()
Get the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.
Specified by:
getSystemId in interface Source
Returns:
Base URL for this DOM tree.

setNode

public void setNode(Node node)
Set the node that will represents a Source DOM tree.
Parameters:
node - The node that is to be transformed.

setSystemId

public void setSystemId(String systemID)
Set the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.
Specified by:
setSystemId in interface Source
Parameters:
systemID - Base URL for this DOM tree.
