All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.xml.transform.Result, Receiver

public final class SequenceCollector
extends SequenceWriter

This receiver is used when writing a sequence of atomic values and nodes, that is, when xsl:variable is used with content and an "as" attribute. The receiver builds the sequence and provides access to it. Note that the event sequence can include calls such as startElement and endElement that require trees to be built. If nodes such as attributes and text nodes are received while an element is being constructed, the nodes are added to the tree. Otherwise, "orphan" nodes (nodes with no parent) are created and added directly to the sequence.
