Public Methods
public abstract boolean getFeature (String name)
Returns the particular property requested for in the underlying implementation of org.xml.sax.XMLReader.
Parameters
name | The name of the property to be retrieved. |
---|
Returns
- Value of the requested property.
Throws
ParserConfigurationException | if a parser cannot be created which satisfies the requested configuration. |
---|---|
SAXNotRecognizedException | When the underlying XMLReader does not recognize the property name. |
SAXNotSupportedException | When the underlying XMLReader recognizes the property name but doesn't support the property. |

public Schema getSchema ()
Gets the Schema
object specified through
the setSchema(Schema)
method.
Returns
- the
Schema
object that was last set through thesetSchema(Schema)
method, or null if the method was not invoked since aSAXParserFactory
is created.
Throws
UnsupportedOperationException | For backward compatibility, when implementations for earlier versions of JAXP is used, this exception will be thrown. |
---|
public boolean isNamespaceAware ()
Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce parsers which are namespace aware.
Returns
- true if the factory is configured to produce parsers which are namespace aware; false otherwise.
public boolean isValidating ()
Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce parsers which validate the XML content during parse.
Returns
- true if the factory is configured to produce parsers which validate the XML content during parse; false otherwise.
public boolean isXIncludeAware ()
Get state of XInclude processing.
Returns
- current state of XInclude processing
Throws
UnsupportedOperationException | For backward compatibility, when implementations for earlier versions of JAXP is used, this exception will be thrown. |
---|
public static SAXParserFactory newInstance (String factoryClassName, ClassLoader classLoader)
Returns an instance of the named implementation of SAXParserFactory
.
Parameters
factoryClassName | |
---|---|
classLoader |
Throws
FactoryConfigurationError | if factoryClassName is not available or cannot be
instantiated. |
---|
public static SAXParserFactory newInstance ()
Returns Android's implementation of SAXParserFactory
. Unlike
other Java implementations, this method does not consult system
properties, property files, or the services API.
Returns
- a new SAXParserFactory.
Throws
FactoryConfigurationError | never. Included for API compatibility with other Java implementations. |
---|
public abstract SAXParser newSAXParser ()
Creates a new instance of a SAXParser using the currently configured factory parameters.
Returns
- A new instance of a SAXParser.
Throws
ParserConfigurationException | if a parser cannot be created which satisfies the requested configuration. |
---|---|
SAXException | for SAX errors. |
public abstract void setFeature (String name, boolean value)
Sets the particular feature in the underlying implementation of org.xml.sax.XMLReader. A list of the core features and properties can be found at http://www.saxproject.org/
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. Examples include entity expansion limits and XML Schema constructs that would consume large amounts of resources. If XML processing is limited for security reasons, it will be reported via a call to the registeredErrorHandler.fatalError(SAXParseException)
. SeeSAXParser
parse
methods for handler specification. -
When the feature is
false
, the implementation will processing XML according to the XML specifications without regard to possible implementation limits.
Parameters
name | The name of the feature to be set. |
---|---|
value | The value of the feature to be set. |
Throws
ParserConfigurationException | if a parser cannot be created which satisfies the requested configuration. |
---|---|
SAXNotRecognizedException | When the underlying XMLReader does not recognize the property name. |
SAXNotSupportedException | When the underlying XMLReader recognizes the property name but doesn't support the property. |
NullPointerException | If the name parameter is null. |
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
.
Parameters
awareness | true if the parser produced by this code will provide support for XML namespaces; false otherwise. |
---|
public void setSchema (Schema schema)
Set the Schema
to be used by parsers created
from this factory.
When a Schema
is non-null, a parser will use a validator
created from it to validate documents before it passes information
down to the application.
When warnings/errors/fatal errors are found by the validator, the parser must
handle them as if those errors were found by the parser itself.
In other words, if the user-specified ErrorHandler
is set, it must receive those errors, and if not, they must be
treated according to the implementation specific
default error handling rules.
A validator may modify the SAX event stream (for example by adding default values that were missing in documents), and a parser is responsible to make sure that the application will receive those modified event stream.
Initially, null
is set as the Schema
.
This processing will take effect even if
the isValidating()
method returns false
.
It is an error to use
the http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource
property and/or the http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage
property in conjunction with a non-null Schema
object.
Such configuration will cause a SAXException
exception when those properties are set on a SAXParser
.
Note for implementors
A parser must be able to work with any Schema
implementation. However, parsers and schemas are allowed
to use implementation-specific custom mechanisms
as long as they yield the result described in the specification.
Parameters
schema | Schema to use, null to remove a schema. |
---|
Throws
UnsupportedOperationException | For backward compatibility, when implementations for earlier versions of JAXP is used, this exception will be thrown. |
---|
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
.
Note that "the validation" here means a validating parser as defined in the XML recommendation. In other words, it essentially just controls the DTD validation. (except the legacy two properties defined in JAXP 1.2. See here for more details.)
To use modern schema languages such as W3C XML Schema or
RELAX NG instead of DTD, you can configure your parser to be
a non-validating parser by leaving the setValidating(boolean)
method false, then use the setSchema(Schema)
method to associate a schema to a parser.
Parameters
validating | true if the parser produced by this code will validate documents as they are parsed; false otherwise. |
---|
public void setXIncludeAware (boolean state)
Set state of XInclude processing.
If XInclude markup is found in the document instance, should it be processed as specified in XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.0.
XInclude processing defaults to false
.
Parameters
state | Set XInclude processing to true or
false |
---|
Throws
UnsupportedOperationException | For backward compatibility, when implementations for earlier versions of JAXP is used, this exception will be thrown. |
