Class SerializerFactory

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    SerializerFactoryPE

    public class SerializerFactory
    extends java.lang.Object
    Helper class to construct a serialization pipeline for a given result destination and a given set of output properties. The pipeline is represented by a Receiver object to which result tree events are sent.

    Since Saxon 8.8 is is possible to write a subclass of SerializerFactory and register it with the Configuration, allowing customisation of the Serializer pipeline.

    The class includes methods for instantiating each of the components used on the Serialization pipeline. This allows a customized SerializerFactory to replace any or all of these components by subclasses that refine the behaviour.

        Deprecated.
        since Saxon 9.9: use one of the other getReceiver methods
        Get a Receiver that wraps a given Result object. Saxon calls this method to construct a serialization pipeline. The method can be overridden in a subclass; alternatively, the subclass can override the various methods used to instantiate components of the serialization pipeline.

        Note that this method ignores the SaxonOutputKeys.WRAP output property. If wrapped output is required, the user must create a SequenceWrapper directly.

        The effect of the method changes in Saxon 9.7 so that for serialization methods other than "json" and "adaptive", the returned Receiver performs the function of "sequence normalization" as defined in the Serialization specification. Previously the client code handled this by wrapping the result in a ComplexContentOutputter (usually as a side-effect of called XPathContext.changeOutputDestination()). Wrapping in a ComplexContentOutputter is no longer necessary, though it does no harm because the ComplexContentOutputter is idempotent.

        Changed in 9.9 so that no character maps are used. Previously the character maps from the Executable associated with the Controller referenced from the PipelineConfiguration were used.

        Parameters:
        result - The final destination of the serialized output. Usually a StreamResult, but other kinds of Result are possible.
        pipe - The PipelineConfiguration.
        props - The serialization properties. If this includes the property SaxonOutputKeys.USE_CHARACTER_MAPS then the PipelineConfiguration must contain a non-null Controller, and the Executable associated with this Controller must have a CharacterMapIndex which is used to resolve the names of the character maps appearing in this property.
        Returns:
        the newly constructed Receiver that performs the required serialization
        Throws:
        XPathException - if any failure occurs
      • getReceiver

        public Receiver getReceiver​(javax.xml.transform.Result result)
                             throws XPathException
        Get a Receiver that wraps a given Result object. Saxon calls this method to construct a serialization pipeline. The method can be overridden in a subclass; alternatively, the subclass can override the various methods used to instantiate components of the serialization pipeline.

        This version of the method calls getReceiver(Result, SerializationProperties, PipelineConfiguration) supplying default output properties, and a PipelineConfiguration newly constructed using Configuration.makePipelineConfiguration().

        Parameters:
        result - The final destination of the serialized output. Usually a StreamResult, but other kinds of Result are possible.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if a serializer cannot be created

                                       throws XPathException
        Create a new AttributeSorter, responsible for sorting of attributes into a specified order. This method exists so that it can be overridden in a subclass. The Saxon-HE version of this method returns the supplied receiver unchanged (attribute sorting is not supported in Saxon-HE). The AttributeSorter handles both sorting of attributes into a user-specified order (saxon:attribute-order) and sorting into C14N order (saxon:canonical).
        Parameters:
        next - the next receiver in the pipeline
        outputProperties - the serialization parameters
        Returns:
        the newly created filter.
        Throws:
        XPathException

                                       throws XPathException
        Create a new NamespaceSorter, responsible for sorting of namespaces into a specified order.
        Parameters:
        next - the next receiver in the pipeline

                                                       java.util.Properties outputProperties)
        Create a new XML 1.0 content checker, responsible for checking that the output conforms to XML 1.0 rules (this is used only if the Configuration supports XML 1.1 but the specific output file requires XML 1.0). This method exists so that it can be overridden in a subclass.
        Parameters:
        next - the next receiver in the pipeline
        outputProperties - the serialization parameters
        Returns:
        the newly created XML 1.0 content checker.

                                              throws XPathException
        Create a Unicode Normalizer. This method exists so that it can be overridden in a subclass.
        Parameters:
        next - the next receiver in the pipeline
        outputProperties - the serialization parameters
        Returns:
        the newly created Unicode normalizer.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
      • newCharacterMapExpander

        public CharacterMapExpander newCharacterMapExpander​(Receiver next)
        Create a new CharacterMapExpander. This method exists so that it can be overridden in a subclass.
        Parameters:
        next - the next receiver in the pipeline
        Returns:
        the newly created CharacterMapExpander.

        This method is intended for internal use, to support the saxon:next-in-chain extension.

        Parameters:
        pipe - the current transformation
        href - URI of the next stylesheet to be applied
        baseURI - base URI for resolving href if it's a relative URI
        result - the output destination of the current stylesheet
        Returns:
        a replacement destination for the current stylesheet
        Throws:
        XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs
      • newSequenceWrapper

        public SequenceWrapper newSequenceWrapper​(Receiver destination)
        Get a SequenceWrapper, a class that serializes an XDM sequence with full annotation of item types, node kinds, etc. There are variants for Saxon-HE and Saxon-PE
        Parameters:
        destination - the place where the wrapped sequence will be sent
        Returns:

                                             throws XPathException
        Check that a supplied output property is valid, and normalize the value (specifically in the case of boolean values where yes|true|1 are normalized to "yes", and no|false|0 are normalized to "no"). Clark names in the value ({uri}local) are normalized to EQNames (Q{uri}local)
        Parameters:
        key - the name of the property, in Clark format
        value - the value of the property. This may be set to null, in which case no validation takes place. The value must be in JAXP format, that is, with lexical QNames expanded to either EQNames or Clark names.
        Returns:
        normalized value of the property, or null if the supplied value is null
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the property name or value is invalid
