Acts as an holder for SAX-style Source.

Note that XSLT requires namespace support. Attempting to transform an input source that is not generated with a namespace-aware parser may result in errors. Parsers can be made namespace aware by calling the SAXParserFactory.setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness) method.

Create a SAXSource, using an XMLReader and a SAX InputSource. The Transformer or SAXTransformerFactory will set itself to be the reader's ContentHandler, and then will call reader.parse(inputSource).
Params:
  • reader – An XMLReader to be used for the parse.
  • inputSource – A SAX input source reference that must be non-null and that will be passed to the reader parse method.
/** * Create a <code>SAXSource</code>, using an {@link org.xml.sax.XMLReader} * and a SAX InputSource.

Create a SAXSource, using a SAX InputSource. The Transformer or SAXTransformerFactory creates a reader via XMLReaderFactory (if setXMLReader is not used), sets itself as the reader's ContentHandler, and calls reader.parse(inputSource).
Params:
  • inputSource – An input source reference that must be non-null and that will be passed to the parse method of the reader.
/** * Create a <code>SAXSource</code>, using a SAX <code>InputSource</code>. * The {@link javax.xml.transform.Transformer} or * {@link javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory} creates a * reader via {@link org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory} * (if setXMLReader is not used), sets itself as * the reader's {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler}, and calls * reader.parse(inputSource). * * @param inputSource An input source reference that must be non-null * and that will be passed to the parse method of the reader. */

Set the XMLReader to be used for the Source.
Params:
  • reader – A valid XMLReader or XMLFilter reference.
/** * Set the XMLReader to be used for the Source. * * @param reader A valid XMLReader or XMLFilter reference. */
public void setXMLReader(XMLReader reader) { this.reader = reader; }
Get the XMLReader to be used for the Source.
Returns:A valid XMLReader or XMLFilter reference, or null.
/** * Get the XMLReader to be used for the Source. * * @return A valid XMLReader or XMLFilter reference, or null. */

Set the SAX InputSource to be used for the Source.
Params:
  • inputSource – A valid InputSource reference.
/** * Set the SAX InputSource to be used for the Source. * * @param inputSource A valid InputSource reference. */
public void setInputSource(InputSource inputSource) { this.inputSource = inputSource; }
Get the SAX InputSource to be used for the Source.
Returns:A valid InputSource reference, or null.

Set the system identifier for this Source. If an input source has already been set, it will set the system ID or that input source, otherwise it will create a new input source.

The system identifier is optional if there is a byte stream or a character stream, but it is still useful to provide one, since the application can use it to resolve relative URIs and can include it in error messages and warnings (the parser will attempt to open a connection to the URI only if no byte stream or character stream is specified).

Params:
  • systemId – The system identifier as a URI string.
/** * Set the system identifier for this Source.

Get the base ID (URI or system ID) from where URIs will be resolved.

Returns:Base URL for the Source, or null.

@Override public String getSystemId() { if (inputSource == null) { return null; } else { return inputSource.getSystemId(); } }
The XMLReader to be used for the source tree input. May be null.

Attempt to obtain a SAX InputSource object from a Source object.
Params:
  • source – Must be a non-null Source reference.
Returns:An InputSource, or null if Source can not be converted.

Indicates whether the SAXSource object is empty. Empty is defined as follows:
