protected SAXParserFactory () {
}
Obtain a new instance of a SAXParserFactory
. This
static method creates a new factory instance
This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine
the SAXParserFactory
implementation class to
load:
-
Use the
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
system
property.
-
Use the properties file "lib/jaxp.properties" in the JRE directory.
This configuration file is in standard
java.util.Properties
format and contains the fully qualified name of the
implementation class with the key being the system property defined
above.
The jaxp.properties file is read only once by the JAXP implementation
and it's values are then cached for future use. If the file does not exist
when the first attempt is made to read from it, no further attempts are
made to check for its existence. It is not possible to change the value
of any property in jaxp.properties after it has been read for the first time.
-
Use the Services API (as detailed in the JAR specification), if
available, to determine the classname. The Services API will look
for a classname in the file
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
in jars available to the runtime.
-
Platform default
SAXParserFactory
instance.
Once an application has obtained a reference to a
SAXParserFactory
it can use the factory to
configure and obtain parser instances.
Tip for Trouble-shooting
Setting the jaxp.debug
system property will cause
this method to print a lot of debug messages
to System.err about what it is doing and where it is looking at.
If you have problems loading SAXParser
s, try:
java -Djaxp.debug=1 YourProgram ....
Throws: - FactoryConfigurationError – if the implementation is
not available or cannot be instantiated.
Returns: A new instance of a SAXParserFactory.

Sets the particular feature in the underlying implementation of

A list of the core features and properties can be found at
http://www.saxproject.org/
All implementations are required to support the XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING
feature. When the feature is
-
true
: the implementation will limit XML processing to conform to implementation limits. Examples include entity expansion limits and XML Schema constructs that would consume large amounts of resources. If XML processing is limited for security reasons, it will be reported via a call to the registered ErrorHandler.fatalError(SAXParseException exception)
. See SAXParser
parse
methods for handler specification.
-
When the feature is
false
, the implementation will processing XML according to the XML specifications without
regard to possible implementation limits.
Params: - name – The name of the feature to be set.
- value – The value of the feature to be set.
Throws: - ParserConfigurationException – if a parser cannot
be created which satisfies the requested configuration.
- SAXNotRecognizedException – When the underlying XMLReader does
not recognize the property name.
- SAXNotSupportedException – When the underlying XMLReader
recognizes the property name but doesn't support the
property.
- NullPointerException – If the
name
parameter is null.

Set the Schema
to be used by parsers created from this factory.
When a Schema
is non-null, a parser will use a validator created from it to validate documents before it passes information down to the application.
When warnings/errors/fatal errors are found by the validator, the parser must handle them as if those errors were found by the parser itself. In other words, if the user-specified ErrorHandler
is set, it must receive those errors, and if not, they must be treated according to the implementation specific default error handling rules.
A validator may modify the SAX event stream (for example by
adding default values that were missing in documents), and a parser
is responsible to make sure that the application will receive
those modified event stream.
Initially, null
is set as the Schema
.
This processing will take effect even if the isValidating()
method returns false
.
It is an error to use
the http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource
property and/or the http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage
property in conjunction with a non-null Schema
object. Such configuration will cause a SAXException
exception when those properties are set on a SAXParser
.
Note for implementors
A parser must be able to work with any Schema
implementation. However, parsers and schemas are allowed to use implementation-specific custom mechanisms as long as they yield the result described in the specification.
Params: - schema –
Schema
to use, null
to remove a schema.
