Method Detail

setTransformerFactoryClass

public void setTransformerFactoryClass(Class<? extends TransformerFactory> transformerFactoryClass)

Specify the TransformerFactory class to use.

newTransformerFactory

protected TransformerFactory newTransformerFactory(Class<? extends TransformerFactory> transformerFactoryClass)

Instantiate a new TransformerFactory.

The default implementation simply calls TransformerFactory.newInstance(). If a transformerFactoryClass has been specified explicitly, the default constructor of the specified class will be called instead.

Can be overridden in subclasses.

Parameters:

transformerFactoryClass - the specified factory class (if any)

Returns:

the new TransactionFactory instance

getTransformerFactory

public TransformerFactory getTransformerFactory()

Returns the TransformerFactory.

Returns:

the transformer factory

createTransformer

public Transformer createTransformer()
                              throws TransformerConfigurationException

Creates a new Transformer. Must be called per thread, as transformers are not thread-safe.

Returns:

the created transformer

Throws:

TransformerConfigurationException - if thrown by JAXP methods

transform

public void transform(Source source,
                      Result result)
               throws TransformerException

Transforms the given Source to the given Result. Creates a new Transformer for every call, as transformers are not thread-safe.

Parameters:

source - the source to transform from

result - the result to transform to

Throws:

TransformerException - if thrown by JAXP methods
