Constructor Detail

XPathFactoryImpl

public XPathFactoryImpl()

Default constructor: this creates a Configuration as well as creating the XPathFactory. Any documents accessed using this XPathFactory must be built using this same Configuration.

XPathFactoryImpl

public XPathFactoryImpl(Configuration config)

Constructor using a user-supplied Configuration. This constructor is useful if the document to be queried already exists, as it allows the configuration associated with the document to be used with this XPathFactory.

Parameters:

config - the Saxon configuration

Method Detail

setConfiguration

public void setConfiguration(Configuration config)

Set the Configuration for the factory

Parameters:

config - the Saxon Configuration to be used

getConfiguration

public Configuration getConfiguration()

Get the Configuration object used by this XPathFactory

Returns:

the Saxon configuration

isObjectModelSupported

public boolean isObjectModelSupported(java.lang.String model)

Test whether a given object model is supported. Returns true if the object model is the Saxon object model, DOM, JDOM, DOM4J, or XOM

Specified by:

isObjectModelSupported in class javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory

Parameters:

model - The URI identifying the object model.

Returns:

true if the object model is one of the following (provided that the supporting JAR file is available on the classpath) NamespaceConstant.OBJECT_MODEL_SAXON, XPathConstants.DOM_OBJECT_MODEL, NamespaceConstant.OBJECT_MODEL_JDOM, or NamespaceConstant.OBJECT_MODEL_XOM, or NamespaceConstant.OBJECT_MODEL_DOM4J. Saxon also allows user-defined external object models to be registered with the Configuration, and this method will return true in respect of any such model.

setFeature

public void setFeature(java.lang.String feature,
                       boolean b)
                throws javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException

Set a feature of this XPath implementation. The features currently recognized are:

• XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING
• FeatureKeys.SCHEMA_VALIDATION: requests schema validation of source documents. The property is rejected if the configuration is not schema-aware.

In addition, any Saxon configuration feature (listed in FeatureKeys can be used provided the value is a boolean. (For non-boolean configuration properties, drop down to the underlying Saxon Configuration object and call setConfigurationProperty())

Specified by:

setFeature in class javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory

Parameters:

feature - a URI identifying the feature

b - true to set the feature on, false to set it off

Throws:

javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException - if the feature name is not recognized

getFeature

public boolean getFeature(java.lang.String feature)
                   throws javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException

Get a feature of this XPath implementation. The only features currently recognized are:

• FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING
• FeatureKeys.SCHEMA_VALIDATION: requests schema validation of source documents.

In addition, any Saxon configuration feature (listed in FeatureKeys can be used provided the value is a boolean. (For non-boolean configuration properties, drop down to the underlying Saxon Configuration object and call getConfigurationProperty())

Specified by:

getFeature in class javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory

Parameters:

feature - a URI identifying the feature

Returns:

true if the feature is on, false if it is off

Throws:

javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException - if the feature name is not recognized

setXPathVariableResolver

public void setXPathVariableResolver(javax.xml.xpath.XPathVariableResolver xPathVariableResolver)

Set a resolver for XPath variables. This will be used to obtain the value of any variable referenced in an XPath expression. The variable resolver must be allocated before the expression is compiled, but it will only be called when the expression is evaluated.

Specified by:

setXPathVariableResolver in class javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory

Parameters:

xPathVariableResolver - The object used to resolve references to variables.

setXPathFunctionResolver

public void setXPathFunctionResolver(javax.xml.xpath.XPathFunctionResolver xPathFunctionResolver)

Set a resolver for XPath functions. This will be used to obtain an implementation of any external function referenced in an XPath expression. This is not required for system functions, Saxon extension functions, constructor functions named after types, or extension functions bound using a namespace that maps to a Java class.

Specified by:

setXPathFunctionResolver in class javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory

Parameters:

xPathFunctionResolver - The object used to resolve references to external functions.

newXPath

public javax.xml.xpath.XPath newXPath()

Create an XPath evaluator

Specified by:

newXPath in class javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory

Returns:

an XPath object, which can be used to compile and execute XPath expressions.
