public class TransformerFactoryImpl
extends SAXTransformerFactory

A TransformerFactoryImpl instance can be used to create Transformer and Template objects.

The system property that determines which Factory implementation to create is named "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory". This property names a concrete subclass of the TransformerFactory abstract class. If the property is not defined, a platform default is be used.

This implementation class implements the abstract methods on both the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory and javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory classes.

Constructor Detail

### TransformerFactoryImpl

    public TransformerFactoryImpl()

  Default constructor.

Method Detail

### newTransformer

    public Transformer newTransformer(Source source)
                               throws TransformerConfigurationException

  Process the Source into a Transformer object. Care must be given not to use this object in multiple threads running concurrently. Different TransformerFactories can be used concurrently by different threads.

  Specified by:
    `newTransformer` in class `TransformerFactory`
  Parameters:
    `source` - An object that holds a URI, input stream, etc.
  Returns:
    A Transformer object that may be used to perform a transformation in a single thread, never null.
  Throws:
    `TransformerConfigurationException` - May throw this during the parse when it is constructing the Templates object and fails.

### newTransformer

    public Transformer newTransformer()
                               throws TransformerConfigurationException

  Create a new Transformer object that performs a copy of the source to the result.

  Specified by:
    `newTransformer` in class `TransformerFactory`
  Returns:
    A Transformer object that may be used to perform a transformation in a single thread, never null.
  Throws:
    `TransformerConfigurationException` - May throw this during the parse when it is constructing the Templates object and fails.

Note that it is possible to return several stylesheets, in which case they are applied as if they were a list of imports or cascades.

  Specified by:
    `getAssociatedStylesheet` in class `TransformerFactory`
  Parameters:
    `source` - The XML source document.
    `media` - The media attribute to be matched. May be null, in which case the prefered templates will be used (i.e. alternate = no).

### setFeature

    public void setFeature(java.lang.String name,
                           boolean value)
                    throws TransformerConfigurationException

  Set a feature for this `TransformerFactory` and `Transformer`s or `Template`s created by this factory.

  Feature names are fully qualified `URI`s. Implementations may define their own features. An `TransformerConfigurationException` is thrown if this `TransformerFactory` or the `Transformer`s or `Template`s it creates cannot support the feature. It is possible for an `TransformerFactory` to expose a feature value but be unable to change its state.

  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 and behave in a secure fashion as defined by the implementation. Examples include resolving user defined style sheets and functions. If XML processing is limited for security reasons, it will be reported via a call to the registered `ErrorListener.fatalError(javax.xml.transform.TransformerException exception)`. See `setErrorListener(javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener listener)`.
  - `false`: the implementation will processing XML according to the XML specifications without regard to possible implementation limits.

  The Saxon implementation does not support the secure processing feature.

  Specified by:
    `setFeature` in class `TransformerFactory`
  Parameters:
    `name` - Feature name.
    `value` - Is feature state `true` or `false`.
  Throws:
    `TransformerConfigurationException` - if this `TransformerFactory` or the `Transformer`s or `Template`s it creates cannot support this feature.
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - If the `name` parameter is null.

### getFeature

    public boolean getFeature(java.lang.String name)

  Look up the value of a feature.

  The feature name is any absolute URI.

  Specified by:
    `getFeature` in class `TransformerFactory`

    `name` - The feature name, which is an absolute URI.
  Returns:
    The current state of the feature (true or false).

                             java.lang.Object value)
                      throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
