Class DOMSource

java.lang.Object
javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource
All Implemented Interfaces:
Source
public class DOMSource extends Object implements Source

Acts as a holder for a transformation Source tree in the form of a Document Object Model (DOM) tree.

Note that XSLT requires namespace support. Attempting to transform a DOM that was not constructed with a namespace-aware parser may result in errors. Parsers can be made namespace aware by calling DocumentBuilderFactory.setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness).

    • DOMSource

      public DOMSource()

      Zero-argument default constructor. If this constructor is used, and no DOM source is set using setNode(Node node) , then the Transformer will create an empty source Document using DocumentBuilder.newDocument().

    • DOMSource

      public DOMSource(Node n)
      Create a new input source with a DOM node. The operation will be applied to the subtree rooted at this node. In XSLT, a "/" pattern still means the root of the tree (not the subtree), and the evaluation of global variables and parameters is done from the root node also.
      Parameters:
      n - The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.

    • DOMSource

      public DOMSource(Node node, String systemID)
      Create a new input source with a DOM node, and with the system ID also passed in as the base URI.
      Parameters:
      node - The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.
      systemID - Specifies the base URI associated with node.

  • Method Details

    • setNode

      public void setNode(Node node)
      Set the node that will represents a Source DOM tree.
      Parameters:
      node - The node that is to be transformed.

    • getNode

      public Node getNode()
      Get the node that represents a Source DOM tree.
      Returns:
      The node that is to be transformed.

    • setSystemId

      public void setSystemId(String systemID)
      Set the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.
      Specified by:
      setSystemId in interface Source
      Parameters:
      systemID - Base URL for this DOM tree.

    • getSystemId

      public String getSystemId()
      Get the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.
      Specified by:
      getSystemId in interface Source
      Returns:
      Base URL for this DOM tree.

    • isEmpty

      public boolean isEmpty()
      Indicates whether the DOMSource object is empty. Empty is defined as follows:
      • if the system identifier and node are null;
      • if the system identifier is null, and the node has no child nodes.
      Specified by:
      isEmpty in interface Source
      Returns:
      true if the DOMSource object is empty, false otherwise
