Class XSLTransform
Serves as an interface to a TrAX aware XSLT processor such as Xalan
or Saxon. The following example shows how to apply an XSL
Transformation to a XOM document and get the transformation result
in the form of a XOM Nodes
object:
public static Nodes transform(Document in) throws XSLException, ParsingException, IOException { Builder builder = new Builder(); Document stylesheet = builder.build("mystylesheet.xsl"); XSLTransform transform = new XSLTransform(stylesheet); return transform.transform(in); }
XOM relies on TrAX to perform the transformation.
The javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
Java
system property determines which XSLT engine TrAX uses. Its
value should be the fully qualified name of the implementation
of the abstract javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
class. Values of this property for popular XSLT processors include:
- Saxon 6.x:
com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl
- Saxon 7.x through 9.x and Saxon-HE:
net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl
- Saxon-PE:
net.sf.saxon.ProfessionalTransformerFactory
- Saxon-EE:
net.sf.saxon.EnterpriseTransformerFactory
- Xalan interpretive:
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl
- Xalan XSLTC:
org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
- jd.xslt:
jd.xml.xslt.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
- Oracle:
oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXTransformerFactory
- Java bundled Xalan:
com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
This property can be set in all the usual ways a Java system property can be set. TrAX picks from them in this order:
- The most recent value specified by invoking
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "classname")
- The value specified at the command line using the -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=classname option to the java interpreter
- The class named in the
lib/jaxp.properties
properties file in the JRE directory, in a line like this one:javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=classname
- The class named in the
META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
file in the JAR archives available to the runtime - Finally, if all of the above options fail, a default implementation is chosen. In Sun's JDK this is usually com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl.

XSLTransform
Creates a new
XSLTransform
by reading the stylesheet from the supplied document.- Parameters:
stylesheet
- document containing the stylesheet- Throws:
XSLException
- when the supplied document is not syntactically correct XSLT
-
XSLTransform
Creates a new
XSLTransform
by reading the stylesheet from the supplied document. The supplied factory will be used to create all nodes in the result tree, so that a transform can create instances of subclasses of the standard XOM classes. Because an XSL transformation generates a list of nodes rather than a document, the factory'sstartMakingDocument
andfinishMakingDocument
methods are not called.- Parameters:
stylesheet
- document containing the stylesheetfactory
- the factory used to build nodes in the result tree- Throws:
XSLException
- when the supplied document is not syntactically correct XSLT
-

Method Details
-
transform
Creates a new
Nodes
from the inputDocument
by applying this object's stylesheet. The originalDocument
is not changed.- Parameters:
in
- document to transform- Returns:
- a
Nodes
containing the result of the transformation - Throws:
XSLException
- if the transformation fails, normally due to an XSLT error
-
setParameter
Supply a parameter to transformations performed by this object. The value is normally a
Boolean
,Double
, orString
. However, it may be another type if the underlying XSLT processor supports that type. Passing null for the value removes the parameter.- Parameters:
name
- the name of the parametervalue
- the value of the parameter
-
setParameter
Supply a parameter to transformations performed by this object. The value is normally a
Boolean
,Double
, orString
. However, it may be another type if the underlying XSLT processor supports that type. Passing null for the value removes the parameter.- Parameters:
name
- the name of the parameternamespace
- the namespace URI of the parametervalue
- the value of the parameter
-
transform
Creates a new
Nodes
object from the inputNodes
object by applying this object's stylesheet. The originalNodes
object is not changed.- Parameters:
in
- document to transform- Returns:
- a
Nodes
containing the result of the transformation - Throws:
XSLException
- if the transformation fails, normally due to an XSLT error
-
toDocument
Builds a
Document
object from aNodes
object. This is useful when the stylesheet is known to produce a well-formed document with a single root element. That is, theNode
returned contains only comments, processing instructions, and exactly one element. If the stylesheet produces anything else, this method throwsXMLException
.- Parameters:
nodes
- the nodes to be placed in the new document- Returns:
- a document containing the nodes
- Throws:
XMLException
- ifnodes
does not contain exactly one element or if it contains any text nodes or attributes
-
toString
Returns a string form of this
XSLTransform
, suitable for debugging.
