Class JDOMResult

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    javax.xml.transform.Result

    public class JDOMResult
    extends javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXResult
    A holder for an XSL Transformation result, generally a list of nodes although it can be a JDOM Document also. As stated by the XSLT 1.0 specification, the result tree generated by an XSL transformation is not required to be a well-formed XML document. The result tree may have "any sequence of nodes as children that would be possible for an element node".

    The following example shows how to apply an XSL Transformation to a JDOM document and get the transformation result in the form of a list of JDOM nodes:

    
       public static List transform(Document doc, String stylesheet)
                                            throws JDOMException {
         try {
           Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance()
                                 .newTransformer(new StreamSource(stylesheet));
           JDOMSource in = new JDOMSource(doc);
           JDOMResult out = new JDOMResult();
           transformer.transform(in, out);
           return out.getResult();
         }
         catch (TransformerException e) {
           throw new JDOMException("XSLT Transformation failed", e);
         }
       }

      • JDOM_FEATURE

        public static final java.lang.String JDOM_FEATURE
        If TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String) returns true when passed this value as an argument, the Transformer natively supports JDOM.

        Note: This implementation does not override the SAXResult.FEATURE value defined by its superclass to be considered as a SAXResult by Transformer implementations not natively supporting JDOM.

    • Method Detail

      • setResult

        public void setResult​(java.util.List result)
        Sets the object(s) produced as result of an XSL Transformation.

        Note: This method shall be used by the Transformer implementations that natively support JDOM to directly set the transformation result rather than considering this object as a SAXResult. Applications should not use this method.

        Parameters:
        result - the result of a transformation as a list of JDOM nodes (Elements, Texts, Comments, PIs...).
        See Also:
        getResult()
      • getResult

        public java.util.List getResult()
        Returns the result of an XSL Transformation as a list of JDOM nodes.

        If the result of the transformation is a JDOM document, this method converts it into a list of JDOM nodes; any subsequent call to getDocument() will return null.

        Returns:
        the transformation result as a (possibly empty) list of JDOM nodes (Elements, Texts, Comments, PIs...).
      • setDocument

        public void setDocument​(Document document)
        Sets the document produced as result of an XSL Transformation.

        Note: This method shall be used by the Transformer implementations that natively support JDOM to directly set the transformation result rather than considering this object as a SAXResult. Applications should not use this method.

        Parameters:
        document - the JDOM document result of a transformation.
        See Also:
        setResult(java.util.List), getDocument()
      • getDocument

        public Document getDocument()
        Returns the result of an XSL Transformation as a JDOM document.

        If the result of the transformation is a list of nodes, this method attempts to convert it into a JDOM document. If successful, any subsequent call to getResult() will return an empty list.

        Warning: The XSLT 1.0 specification states that the output of an XSL transformation is not a well-formed XML document but a list of nodes. Applications should thus use getResult() instead of this method or at least expect null documents to be returned.

        Returns:
        the transformation result as a JDOM document or null if the result of the transformation can not be converted into a well-formed document.
        See Also:
        getResult()
      • setFactory

        public void setFactory​(JDOMFactory factory)
        Sets a custom JDOMFactory to use when building the transformation result. Use a custom factory to build the tree with your own subclasses of the JDOM classes.
        Parameters:
        factory - the custom JDOMFactory to use or null to use the default JDOM classes.
        See Also:
        getFactory()
      • getFactory

        public JDOMFactory getFactory()
        Returns the custom JDOMFactory used to build the transformation result.
        Returns:
        the custom JDOMFactory used to build the transformation result or null if the default JDOM classes are being used.
        See Also:
        setFactory(org.jdom.JDOMFactory)
      • setHandler

        public void setHandler​(org.xml.sax.ContentHandler handler)
        Sets the target to be a SAX2 ContentHandler.
        Overrides:
        setHandler in class javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXResult
        Parameters:
        handler - Must be a non-null ContentHandler reference.
      • setLexicalHandler

        public void setLexicalHandler​(org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler handler)
        Sets the SAX2 LexicalHandler for the output.

        This is needed to handle XML comments and the like. If the lexical handler is not set, an attempt should be made by the transformer to cast the ContentHandler to a LexicalHandler.

        Overrides:
        setLexicalHandler in class javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXResult
        Parameters:
        handler - A non-null LexicalHandler for handling lexical parse events.
