javax.xml.parsers
Class SAXParserFactory
java.lang.Object
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
public abstract class SAXParserFactory
extends java.lang.Object
Defines a factory API that enables applications to configure and
obtain a SAX based parser to parse XML documents.
An implementation of the
SAXParserFactory
class is
NOT guaranteed to be thread safe. It is up to the user application
to make sure about the use of the
SAXParserFactory
from
more than one thread. Alternatively the application can have one instance
of the
SAXParserFactory
per thread.
An application can use the same instance of the factory to obtain one or
more instances of the
SAXParser
provided the instance
of the factory isn't being used in more than one thread at a time.
The static
newInstance
method returns a new concrete
implementation of this class.
Version:
- JAXP 1.0
boolean | getFeature(String name) -
Returns the particular property requested for in the underlying
implementation of org.xml.sax.XMLReader.
|
boolean | isNamespaceAware() - Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce
parsers which are namespace aware.
|
boolean | isValidating() - Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce
parsers which validate the XML content during parse.
|
static SAXParserFactory | newInstance() - Obtain a new instance of a
SAXParserFactory .
|
SAXParser | newSAXParser() - Creates a new instance of a SAXParser using the currently
configured factory parameters.
|
void | setFeature(String name, boolean value) -
Sets the particular feature in the underlying implementation of
org.xml.sax.XMLReader.
|
void | setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness) - Specifies that the parser produced by this code will
provide support for XML namespaces.
|
void | setValidating(boolean validating) - Specifies that the parser produced by this code will
validate documents as they are parsed.
|
isNamespaceAware
public boolean isNamespaceAware()
Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce
parsers which are namespace aware.
- true if the factory is configured to produce
parsers which are namespace aware; false otherwise.
isValidating
public boolean isValidating()
Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce
parsers which validate the XML content during parse.
- true if the factory is configured to produce parsers which validate
the XML content during parse; false otherwise.
newInstance
public static SAXParserFactory newInstance()
throws FactoryConfigurationError
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.
-
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.
- A new instance of a SAXParserFactory.
FactoryConfigurationError
- if the implementation is
not available or cannot be instantiated.
setNamespaceAware
public void setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness)
Specifies that the parser produced by this code will
provide support for XML namespaces. By default the value of this is set
to false
.
awareness
- true if the parser produced by this code will
provide support for XML namespaces; false otherwise.
setValidating
public void setValidating(boolean validating)
Specifies that the parser produced by this code will
validate documents as they are parsed. By default the value of this is
set to false
.
validating
- true if the parser produced by this code will
validate documents as they are parsed; false otherwise.
