## javax.xml.transform.sax
Class SAXTransformerFactory

    java.lang.Object
      javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
          javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:
  TransformerFactoryImpl

public abstract class SAXTransformerFactory
extends TransformerFactory

This class extends TransformerFactory to provide SAX-specific factory methods. It provides two types of ContentHandlers, one for creating Transformers, the other for creating Templates objects.

If an application wants to set the ErrorHandler or EntityResolver for an XMLReader used during a transformation, it should use a URIResolver to return the SAXSource which provides (with getXMLReader) a reference to the XMLReader.

Field Summary
`static java.lang.String` | `FEATURE` If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the TransformerFactory returned from `TransformerFactory.newInstance()` may be safely cast to a SAXTransformerFactory.
`static java.lang.String` | `FEATURE_XMLFILTER` If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the `newXMLFilter(Source src)` and `newXMLFilter(Templates templates)` methods are supported.

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `SAXTransformerFactory()` The default constructor is protected on purpose.

Method Summary
`abstract TemplatesHandler` | `newTemplatesHandler()` Get a TemplatesHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Templates object.
`abstract TransformerHandler` | `newTransformerHandler()` Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result.
`abstract TransformerHandler` | `newTransformerHandler(Source src)` Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result, based on the transformation instructions specified by the argument.
`abstract TransformerHandler` | `newTransformerHandler(Templates templates)` Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result, based on the Templates argument.
`abstract org.xml.sax.XMLFilter` | `newXMLFilter(Source src)` Create an XMLFilter that uses the given Source as the transformation instructions.
`abstract org.xml.sax.XMLFilter` | `newXMLFilter(Templates templates)` Create an XMLFilter, based on the Templates argument..

Field Detail

### FEATURE

    public static final java.lang.String FEATURE

  If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the TransformerFactory returned from `TransformerFactory.newInstance()` may be safely cast to a SAXTransformerFactory.

    Constant Field Values

### FEATURE_XMLFILTER

    public static final java.lang.String FEATURE_XMLFILTER

  If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the `newXMLFilter(Source src)` and `newXMLFilter(Templates templates)` methods are supported.

  The default constructor is protected on purpose.

Method Detail

### newTransformerHandler

    public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler(Source src)
                                                      throws TransformerConfigurationException

  Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result, based on the transformation instructions specified by the argument.

  Parameters:
    `src` - The Source of the transformation instructions.
  Returns:
    TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.
  Throws:
    `TransformerConfigurationException` - If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.

### newTransformerHandler

    public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler(Templates templates)
                                                      throws TransformerConfigurationException

  Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result, based on the Templates argument.

  Parameters:
    `templates` - The compiled transformation instructions.
  Returns:
    TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.
  Throws:
    `TransformerConfigurationException` - If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.

### newTransformerHandler

    public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler()
                                                      throws TransformerConfigurationException

  Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result. The transformation is defined as an identity (or copy) transformation, for example to copy a series of SAX parse events into a DOM tree.

  Returns:
    A non-null reference to a TransformerHandler, that may be used as a ContentHandler for SAX parse events.
  Throws:
    `TransformerConfigurationException` - If for some reason the TransformerHandler cannot be created.

### newTemplatesHandler

    public abstract TemplatesHandler newTemplatesHandler()
                                                  throws TransformerConfigurationException

  Get a TemplatesHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Templates object.

  Returns:
    A non-null reference to a TransformerHandler, that may be used as a ContentHandler for SAX parse events.
  Throws:
    `TransformerConfigurationException` - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.

### newXMLFilter

    public abstract org.xml.sax.XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Source src)
                                                throws TransformerConfigurationException

  Create an XMLFilter that uses the given Source as the transformation instructions.

  Parameters:
    `src` - The Source of the transformation instructions.
  Returns:
    An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.
  Throws:
    `TransformerConfigurationException` - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.

### newXMLFilter

    public abstract org.xml.sax.XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Templates templates)
                                                throws TransformerConfigurationException

  Create an XMLFilter, based on the Templates argument..

  Parameters:
    `templates` - The compiled transformation instructions.
  Returns:
    An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.
  Throws:
    `TransformerConfigurationException` - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
