All Implemented Interfaces:

SourceResolver, NotationSet

Direct Known Subclasses:

ProfessionalConfiguration
```
public class Configuration
extends Object
implements SourceResolver, NotationSet
```
This class holds details of user-selected configuration options for a set of transformations and/or queries. When running XSLT, the preferred way of setting configuration options is via the JAXP TransformerFactory interface, but the Configuration object provides a finer level of control. As yet there is no standard API for XQuery, so the only way of setting Configuration information is to use the methods on this class directly.

As well as holding configuration settings, this class acts as a factory for classes providing service in particular areas: error handling, URI resolution, and the like. Some of these services are chosen on the basis of the current platform (Java or .NET), some vary depending whether the environment is schema-aware or not.

The Configuration provides access to a NamePool which is used to manage all the names used in stylesheets, queries, schemas, and source and documents: the NamePool allocates integer codes to these names allowing efficient storage and comparison. Normally there will be a one-to-one relationship between a NamePool and a Configuration. It is possible, however, for several Configuration objects to share the same NamePool. Until Saxon 8.9, by default all Configuration objects shared a single NamePool unless configured otherwise; this changed in 8.9 so that the default is to allocate a new NamePool for each Configuration.

The Configuration establishes the scope within which node identity is managed. Every document belongs to a Configuration, and every node has a distinct identity within that Configuration. In consequence, it is not possible for any query or transformation to manipulate multiple documents unless they all belong to the same Configuration.

Saxon-EE has a subclass of the Configuration class which provides the additional services needed for schema-aware processing. The EnterpriseConfiguration also holds a cache of loaded schema components used for compiling schema-aware transformations and queries, and for validating instance documents.

Since Saxon 8.4, the JavaDoc documentation for Saxon attempts to identify interfaces that are considered stable, and will only be changed in a backwards-incompatible way if there is an overriding reason to do so. These interfaces and methods are labelled with the JavaDoc "since" tag. The value 8.n indicates a method in this category that was introduced in Saxon version 8.n: or in the case of 8.4, that was present in Saxon 8.4 and possibly in earlier releases. (In some cases, these methods have been unchanged for a long time.) Methods without a "since" tag, although public, are provided for internal use or for use by advanced users, and are subject to change from one release to the next. The presence of a "since" tag on a class or interface indicates that there are one or more methods in the class that are considered stable; it does not mean that all methods are stable.

Since:

```
public void setCollationURIResolver(CollationURIResolver resolver)
```
    Set a CollationURIResolver to be used to resolve collation URIs (that is, to take a URI identifying a collation, and return the corresponding collation). Note that Saxon attempts first to resolve a collation URI using the resolver registered with the Controller; if that returns null, it tries again using the resolver registered with the Configuration.
    Note that it is undefined whether collation URIs are resolved at compile time or at run-time. It is therefore inadvisable to change the CollationURIResolver after compiling a query or stylesheet and before running it.
    
    Parameters:
    resolver - the collation URI resolver to be used. This replaces any collation URI resolver previously registered.
    Since:
    
    8.5
  - getCollationURIResolver
```

    Get the collation with a given collation name. If the collation name has not been registered in this CollationMap, the CollationURIResolver registered with the Configuration is called. If this cannot resolve the collation name, it should return null.
    
    Parameters:
    collationName - the collation name as an absolute URI
    
    Returns:
    the StringCollator with this name if known, or null if not known

                            throws XPathException
```
    Get the collation with a given collation name, supplying a relative URI and base URI separately. If the collation name has not been registered in this CollationMap, the CollationURIResolver registered with the Configuration is called. If this cannot resolve the collation name, it should return null.

                            throws XPathException
```
    Get the collation with a given collation name, supplying a relative URI and base URI separately, and throwing an error if it cannot be found. If the collation name has not been registered in this CollationMap, the CollationURIResolver registered with the Configuration is called. If this cannot resolve the collation name, it should return null.
    
    Parameters:
    collationURI - the collation name as a relative or absolute URI
    baseURI - the base URI to be used to resolve the collationURI if it is relative

  - setDefaultCollection
```
public void setDefaultCollection(String uri)
```
    Set the default collection.
    
    If no default collection URI is specified, then a request for the default collection is handled by calling the registered collection URI resolver with an argument of null.
    
    Parameters:
    uri - the URI of the default collection. Calling the collection() function with no arguments is equivalent to calling collection() with this URI as an argument. The URI will be dereferenced by passing it to the registered CollectionURIResolver. If null is supplied, any existing default collection is removed.
    Since:
    
    9.2
  - getDefaultCollection
```
public String getDefaultCollection()
```
    Get the URI of the default collection. Returns null if no default collection URI has been registered.
    
    Returns:
    the default collection URI. This is dereferenced in the same way as a normal collection URI (via the CollectionURIResolver) to return a sequence of nodes
    Since:
    
    9.2
  - setCollectionURIResolver
```
public void setCollectionURIResolver(CollectionURIResolver resolver)
```
    Set a CollectionURIResolver to be used to resolve collection URIs (that is, the URI supplied in a call to the collection() function).
    Collection URIs are always resolved at run-time, using the CollectionURIResolver in force at the time the collection() function is called.
    
    Parameters:
    resolver - the collection URI resolver to be used. This replaces any collection URI resolver previously registered. The value must not be null.
    Since:
    
    8.5
  - getCollectionURIResolver
```
public CollectionURIResolver getCollectionURIResolver()
```
    Get the collection URI resolver associated with this configuration.

  - setRecoveryPolicy
```
public void setRecoveryPolicy(int recoveryPolicy)
```
    Determine how recoverable run-time errors are to be handled. This applies only if the standard ErrorListener is used.

  - isTiming
```
public boolean isTiming()
```
    Determine whether brief progress messages and timing information will be output to System.err.
    This method is provided largely for internal use. Progress messages are normally controlled directly from the command line interfaces, and are not normally used when driving Saxon from the Java API.
    
    Returns:
    true if these messages are to be output.
  - setTiming
```
public void setTiming(boolean timing)
```

    Parameters:
    timing - true if these messages are to be output.
  - isVersionWarning
```
public boolean isVersionWarning()

    Since:
    
    8.4
  - setVersionWarning
```
public void setVersionWarning(boolean warn)
```
    Determine whether a warning is to be output when the version attribute of the stylesheet does not match the XSLT processor version. (In the case where the stylesheet version is "1.0", the XSLT specification requires such a warning unless the user disables it.)
    
    Parameters:
    warn - true if these warning messages are to be output.
    Since:
    
    8.4
  - isValidation

  - makeDocumentProjector
```
public FilterFactory makeDocumentProjector(PathMap.PathMapRoot map)
```
    Create a document projector for a given path map root. Document projection is available only in Saxon-EE, so the Saxon-HE version of this method throws an exception
    
    Parameters:
    map - a path map root in a path map. This might represent the call to the initial context item for a query, or it might represent a call on the doc() function. The path map contains information about the paths that the query uses within this document.
    
    Returns:
    a push filter that implements document projection
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if this is not a schema-aware configuration, or if no Saxon-EE license is available
  - makeDocumentProjector
```
public FilterFactory makeDocumentProjector(XQueryExpression exp)
```
    Create a document projector for the document supplied as the initial context item in a query. Document projection is available only in Saxon-EE, so the Saxon-HE version of this method throws an exception
    
    Parameters:
    exp - an XQuery expression. The document projector that is returned will be for the document supplied as the context item to this query.
    
    Returns:
    a push filter that implements document projection
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if this is not a schema-aware configuration, or if no Saxon-EE license is available

    Ask whether source documents (supplied as a StreamSource or SAXSource) should be subjected to schema validation, and if so, in what validation mode
    
    Returns:
    the schema validation mode previously set using setSchemaValidationMode(), or the default mode Validation.STRIP otherwise.
  - setSchemaValidationMode
```
public void setSchemaValidationMode(int validationMode)
```
    Say whether source documents (supplied as a StreamSource or SAXSource) should be subjected to schema validation, and if so, in what validation mode. This value may be overridden at the level of a Controller for an individual transformation or query.
    
    Parameters:
    validationMode - the validation (or construction) mode to be used for source documents. One of Validation.STRIP, Validation.PRESERVE, Validation.STRICT, Validation.LAX
    Since:
    
    8.4
  - setValidationWarnings
```
public void setValidationWarnings(boolean warn)
```
    Indicate whether schema validation failures on result documents are to be treated as fatal errors or as warnings. Note that all validation errors are reported to the error() method of the ErrorListener, and processing always continues except when that method chooses to throw an exception. At the end of the document, a fatal error is thrown if (a) there have been any validation errors, and (b) this option is not set.
    
    Parameters:
    warn - true if schema validation failures are to be treated as warnings; false if they are to be treated as fatal errors.
    Since:
    
    8.4
  - isValidationWarnings
```
public boolean isValidationWarnings()
```
    Determine whether schema validation failures on result documents are to be treated as fatal errors or as warnings. Note that all validation errors are reported to the error() method of the ErrorListener, and processing always continues except when that method chooses to throw an exception. At the end of the document, a fatal error is thrown if (a) there have been any validation errors, and (b) this option is not set.
    
    Returns:
    true if validation errors are to be treated as warnings (that is, the validation failure is reported but processing continues as normal); false if validation errors are fatal.
    Since:
    
    8.4
  - setExpandAttributeDefaults
```
public void setExpandAttributeDefaults(boolean expand)
```
    Indicate whether attributes that have a fixed or default value are to be expanded when generating a final result tree. By default (and for conformance with the W3C specifications) it is required that fixed and default values should be expanded. However, there are use cases for example when generating XHTML when this serves no useful purpose and merely bloats the output.
    
    This option can be overridden at the level of a PipelineConfiguration
    
    Parameters:
    expand - true if fixed and default values are to be expanded as required by the W3C specifications; false if this action is to be disabled. Note that this only affects the validation of final result trees; it is not possible to suppress expansion of fixed or default values on input documents, as this would make the type annotations on input nodes unsound.
    Since:
    
    9.0
  - isExpandAttributeDefaults
```
public boolean isExpandAttributeDefaults()
```
    Determine whether elements and attributes that have a fixed or default value are to be expanded. This option applies both to DTD-defined attribute defaults and to schema-defined defaults for elements and attributes. If an XML parser is used that does not report whether defaults have been used, this option is ignored.
    *
    This option can be overridden at the level of a PipelineConfiguration
    
    Returns:
    true if elements and attributes that have a fixed or default value are to be expanded, false if defaults are not to be expanded. The default value is true. Note that the setting "false" is potentially non-conformant with the W3C specifications.
    Since:
    
    9.0
  - getNamePool
```
public NamePool getNamePool()
```
    Get the target namepool to be used for stylesheets/queries and for source documents.
    
    Returns:
    the target name pool. If no NamePoo has been specified explicitly, the default NamePool is returned.
    Since:
    
    8.4
  - setNamePool
```
public void setNamePool(NamePool targetNamePool)
```
    Set the NamePool to be used for stylesheets/queries and for source documents.
    
    Using this method allows several Configurations to share the same NamePool. This was the normal default arrangement until Saxon 8.9, which changed the default so that each Configuration uses its own NamePool.
    
    Sharing a NamePool creates a potential bottleneck, since changes to the namepool are synchronized.
    
    Parameters:
    targetNamePool - The NamePool to be used.
    Since:
    
    8.4
  - getTypeHierarchy
```
public TypeHierarchy getTypeHierarchy()
```
    Get the TypeHierarchy: a cache holding type information
    
    Returns:
    the type hierarchy cache
  - getDocumentNumberAllocator
```
public DocumentNumberAllocator getDocumentNumberAllocator()
```
    Get the document number allocator.
    The document number allocator is used to allocate a unique number to each document built under this configuration. The document number forms the basis of all tests for node identity; it is therefore essential that when two documents are accessed in the same XPath expression, they have distinct document numbers. Normally this is ensured by building them under the same Configuration. Using this method together with setDocumentNumberAllocator(net.sf.saxon.tree.util.DocumentNumberAllocator), however, it is possible to have two different Configurations that share a single DocumentNumberAllocator
    
    Returns:
    the current DocumentNumberAllocator
    Since:
    
    9.0
  - setDocumentNumberAllocator
```
public void setDocumentNumberAllocator(DocumentNumberAllocator allocator)
```
    Set the document number allocator.
    The document number allocator is used to allocate a unique number to each document built under this configuration. The document number forms the basis of all tests for node identity; it is therefore essential that when two documents are accessed in the same XPath expression, they have distinct document numbers. Normally this is ensured by building them under the same Configuration. Using this method together with getDocumentNumberAllocator(), however, it is possible to have two different Configurations that share a single DocumentNumberAllocator
    
    This method is for advanced applications only. Misuse of the method can cause problems with node identity. The method should not be used except while initializing a Configuration, and it should be used only to arrange for two different configurations to share the same DocumentNumberAllocators. In this case they should also share the same NamePool.
    
    Parameters:
    allocator - the DocumentNumberAllocator to be used
    Since:
    
    9.0
  - isCompatible
```
public boolean isCompatible(Configuration other)
```
    Determine whether two Configurations are compatible. When queries, transformations, and path expressions are run, all the Configurations used to build the documents and to compile the queries and stylesheets must be compatible. Two Configurations are compatible if they share the same NamePool and the same DocumentNumberAllocator.
    
    Parameters:
    other - the other Configuration to be compared with this one
    
    Returns:
    true if the two configurations are compatible
  - getGlobalDocumentPool
```
public DocumentPool getGlobalDocumentPool()
```
    Get the global document pool. This is used for documents preloaded during query or stylesheet compilation. The user application can preload documents into the global pool, where they will be found if any query or stylesheet requests the specified document using the doc() or document() function.
    
    Returns:
    the global document pool
    Since:
    
    9.1
  - isStripsAllWhiteSpace
```
public boolean isStripsAllWhiteSpace()
```
    Determine whether whitespace-only text nodes are to be stripped unconditionally from source documents.
    
    Returns:
    true if all whitespace-only text nodes are stripped.
    Since:
    
    8.4
  - setStripsAllWhiteSpace

    source - A Source representing the wrapped or unwrapped external Node. This will typically be a DOMSource, but it may be a similar Source recognized by some other registered external object model.
    
    Returns:
    If the Source is a DOMSource and the underlying node is a wrapper around a Saxon NodeInfo, returns the wrapped Saxon NodeInfo. If the Source is a DOMSource and the undelying node is not such a wrapper, returns a new Saxon NodeInfo that wraps the DOM Node. If the Source is any other kind of source, it is offered to each registered external object model for similar treatment. The result is the NodeInfo object obtained by wrapping or unwrapping the supplied external node.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the source object is not of a recognized class. This method does not call the registered to resolve the Source.
  - setStaticQueryContextFactory
```
public void setStaticQueryContextFactory(StaticQueryContextFactory factory)
```
    Set the StaticQueryContextFactory used for creating instances of StaticQueryContext
    
    Parameters:
    factory - the factory class to be used when a new StaticQueryContext is required. Note that this is not used for the default StaticQueryContext held in the Configuration itself.
    Since:
    
    9.5.1.2
  - newStaticQueryContext
```
public StaticQueryContext newStaticQueryContext()
```
    Get a new StaticQueryContext (which is also the factory class for creating a query parser). Note that this method is used to underpin the s9api and XQJ APIs for XQuery compilation, and that modifying the behaviour of the StaticQueryContext can affect the behaviour of those APIs
    
    Returns:
    a new StaticQueryContext
  - newPendingUpdateList
```
public PendingUpdateList newPendingUpdateList()
```
    Get a new Pending Update List
    
    Returns:
    the new Pending Update List
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if called when using Saxon-B
  - makePipelineConfiguration
```
public PipelineConfiguration makePipelineConfiguration()
```
    Make a PipelineConfiguration from the properties of this Configuration
    
    Returns:
    a new PipelineConfiguration
    Since:
    
    8.4
  - getConfiguration
```
public static Configuration getConfiguration(XPathContext context)
```
    Get the configuration, given the context. This is provided as a static method to make it accessible as an extension function.
    
    Parameters:
    context - the XPath dynamic context
    
    Returns:
    the Saxon Configuration for a given XPath dynamic context
  - setSourceResolver
```
public void setSourceResolver(SourceResolver resolver)
```
    Supply a SourceResolver. This is used for handling unknown implementations of the Source interface: a user-supplied SourceResolver can handle such Source objects and translate them to a kind of Source that Saxon understands.
    
    Parameters:
    resolver - the source resolver.
  - getSourceResolver
```
public SourceResolver getSourceResolver()
```
    Get the current SourceResolver. If none has been supplied, a system-defined SourceResolver is returned.
    
    Returns:
    the current SourceResolver
  - resolveSource
```
public Source resolveSource(Source source,
                   Configuration config)
                     throws XPathException
```
    Resolve a Source.
    
    Specified by:
    
    resolveSource in interface SourceResolver
    
    Parameters:
    source - A source object, typically the source supplied as the first argument to Transformer.transform(javax.xml.transform.Source, javax.xml.transform.Result) or similar methods.
    config - The Configuration. This provides the SourceResolver with access to configuration information; it also allows the SourceResolver to invoke the resolveSource() method on the Configuration object as a fallback implementation.
    
    Returns:
    a source object that Saxon knows how to process. This must be an instance of one of the classes StreamSource, SAXSource, DOMSource, AugmentedSource, NodeInfo, or PullSource. Return null if the Source object is not recognized
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if the Source object is recognized but cannot be processed
  - buildDocument
```
public DocumentInfo buildDocument(Source source)
                           throws XPathException
```
    Build a document tree, using options set on this Configuration and on the supplied source object. Options set on the source object override options set in the Configuration. The Source object must be one of the kinds of source recognized by Saxon, or a source that can be resolved using the registered SourceResolver.
    
    Parameters:
    source - the Source to be used. This may be an AugmentedSource, allowing options to be specified for the way in which this document will be built. If an AugmentedSource is supplied then options set in the AugmentedSource take precendence over options set in the Configuration.
    From Saxon 9.2, this method always creates a new tree, it never wraps or returns an existing tree.
    
    Returns:
    the document node of the constructed document
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if any errors occur during document parsing or validation. Detailed errors occurring during schema validation will be written to the ErrorListener associated with the AugmentedSource, if supplied, or with the Configuration otherwise.
    Since:
    
    8.9. Modified in 9.0 to avoid copying a supplied document where this is not necessary. Modified in 9.2 so that this interface always constructs a new tree; it never wraps an existing document, even if an AugmentedSource that requests wrapping is supplied.
  - buildDocument
```
public DocumentInfo buildDocument(Source source,
                         ParseOptions parseOptions)
                           throws XPathException
```
    Build a document, using specified options for parsing and building. This method always constructs a new tree, it never wraps an existing document (regardless of anything in the parseOptions)
    
    Parameters:
    source - the source of the document to be constructed. If this is an AugmentedSource, then any parser options contained in the AugmentedSource take precedence over options specified in the parseOptions argument.
    parseOptions - options for parsing and constructing the document. Any options that are not explicitly set in parseOptions default first to the values supplied in the source argument if it is an AugmentedSource, and then to the values set in this Configuration. The supplied parseOptions object is not modified.
    
    Returns:
    the document node of the constructed document
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if parsing fails, or if the Source represents a node other than a document node
    Since:
    
    9.2
  - makeEmitter
```
public Receiver makeEmitter(String clarkName,
                   Properties props)
                     throws XPathException
```
    Load a named output emitter or SAX2 ContentHandler and check it is OK.
    
    Parameters:
    clarkName - the QName of the user-supplied ContentHandler (requested as a prefixed value of the method attribute in xsl:output, or anywhere that serialization parameters are allowed), encoded in Clark format as {uri}local
    props - the properties to be used in the case of a dynamically-loaded ContentHandler.
    
    Returns:
    a Receiver (despite the name, it is not required to be an Emitter)
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if a failure occurs creating the Emitter
  - makeUnconstructedElement
```
public NodeInfo makeUnconstructedElement(ElementCreator instr,
                                XPathContext context)
                                  throws XPathException
```
    Make an "unconstructed" (that is, lazily-constructed) element node
    
    Parameters:
    instr - the instruction that creates the element
    context - the dynamic evaluation context
    
    Returns:
    the lazily constructed element node
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if an error occurs, for example if called in Saxon-HE

```
public DocumentInfo makeUnconstructedDocument(DocumentInstr instr,
                                     XPathContext context)
                                       throws XPathException
```
    Make an "unconstructed" (that is, lazily-constructed) document node
    
    Parameters:

    context - the dynamic evaluation context
    
    Returns:
    the lazily constructed document node
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - in Saxon-HE
  - getSiblingPosition
```
public int getSiblingPosition(NodeInfo node,
                     NodeTest nodeTest,
                     int max)
                       throws XPathException
```
    Get the sibling position of a node: specifically, count how many preceding siblings of a node satisfy the nodetest. This method is included here so it can be subclassed to handle streamed nodes.
    
    Parameters:
    node - the starting node, which is assumed to satisfy the node test
    nodeTest - the node test
    max - the maximum number of nodes to be counted
    
    Returns:
    the number of preceding siblings that satisfy the node test, plus one, unless the number exceeds max, in which case return some number greater than or equal to max.
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs
  - setConfigurationProperty
```
public void setConfigurationProperty(String name,
                            Object value)
```
    Set a property of the configuration. This method underpins the setAttribute() method of the TransformerFactory implementation, and is provided to enable setting of Configuration properties using URIs without instantiating a TransformerFactory: specifically, this may be useful when running XQuery, and it is also used by the Validator API
    
    Parameters:
    name - the URI identifying the property to be set. See the class FeatureKeys for constants representing the property names that can be set.
    value - the value of the property. Note that boolean values may be supplied either as a Boolean, or as one of the strings "0", "1", "true", "false", "yes", "no", "on", or "off".
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the property name is not recognized or if the value is not a valid value for the named property
  - requireBoolean
```
protected boolean requireBoolean(String propertyName,
                     Object value)
```
    Validate a property value where the required type is boolean
    
    Parameters:
    propertyName - the name of the property
    value - the supplied value of the property. This may be either a java.lang.Boolean, or a string taking one of the values on|off, true|false, yes|no, or 1|0 (suited to the conventions of different configuration APIs that end up calling this method)
    
    Returns:
    the value as a boolean
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the supplied value cannot be validated as a recognized boolean value
  - internalSetBooleanProperty
```
protected void internalSetBooleanProperty(String propertyName,
                              Object value)
```
    Set a boolean property value, without checking that it is a recognized property name
    
    Parameters:
    propertyName - the name of the property to be set
    value - a representation of the boolean value. This may be either a java.lang.Boolean, or a string taking one of the values on|off, true|false, yes|no, or 1|0 (suited to the conventions of different configuration APIs that end up calling this method)
  - getBooleanProperty
```
public boolean getBooleanProperty(String propertyName)
```
    Get a boolean property of the configuration
    
    Parameters:
    propertyName - the name of the required property. See the class FeatureKeys for constants representing the property names that can be requested. This class only recognizes properties whose type is boolean.
    
    Returns:
    the value of the property. In the case of an unrecognized property name, the value returned is false: no error is thrown.
  - setBooleanProperty
```
public void setBooleanProperty(String propertyName,
                      boolean value)
```
    Set a boolean property of the configuration
    
    Parameters:
    propertyName - the name of the required property. See the class FeatureKeys for constants representing the property names that can be requested. This class only recognizes properties whose type is boolean.
    value - the value of the property.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the property name is not recognized (as a property whose expected value is boolean)
  - requireString
```
protected String requireString(String propertyName,
                   Object value)
```
  - instantiateClassName
```
protected Object instantiateClassName(String propertyName,
                          Object value,

```
  - getConfigurationProperty
```
public Object getConfigurationProperty(String name)
```
    Get a property of the configuration
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the required property. See the class FeatureKeys for constants representing the property names that can be requested.
    
    Returns:
    the value of the property. Note that boolean values are returned as a Boolean, even if the value was supplied as a string (for example "true" or "on").
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - thrown if the property is not one that Saxon recognizes.
  - isGenerateByteCode
```
public boolean isGenerateByteCode(int hostLanguage)
```
    Ask whether bytecode should be generated. The default setting is true in Saxon Enterprise Edition and false in all other cases. Setting the option to true has no effect if Saxon-EE is not available (but if it is set to true, this method will return true). Setting the option to false in Saxon-EE is permitted if for some reason bytecode generation is to be suppressed (one possible reason is to improve compilation performance at the expense of evaluation performance).
    
    Parameters:
    hostLanguage - one of XSLT or XQUERY
    
    Returns:
    true if the option is switched on
  - finalize
```
protected void finalize()
                 throws Throwable
```
    Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. This implementation closes the error output file if one has been allocated.
    
    Overrides:
    
    finalize in class Object
    
    Throws:
    
    Throwable
