public abstract class XMLAbstractTranscoder
extends AbstractTranscoder

This class may be the base class of all transcoders which take an XML document as input and which need to build a DOM tree. In order to take advantage of this class, you have to specify the following transcoding hints:

Constructor Detail

XMLAbstractTranscoder

protected XMLAbstractTranscoder()
Constructs a new XMLAbstractTranscoder.
Method Detail

transcode

public void transcode(TranscoderInput input,
                      TranscoderOutput output)
               throws TranscoderException
Transcodes the specified XML input in the specified output. All TranscoderException exceptions not catched previously are tagged as fatal errors (ie. call the fatalError method of the ErrorHandler).
Parameters:
input - the XML input to transcode
output - the ouput where to transcode
Throws:
TranscoderException - if an error occured while transcoding

createDocumentFactory

protected DocumentFactory createDocumentFactory(DOMImplementation domImpl,
                                                java.lang.String parserClassname)
Creates the DocumentFactory used to create the DOM tree. Override this method if you have to use another implementation of the DocumentFactory (ie. for SVG, you have to use the SAXSVGDocumentFactory).
Parameters:
domImpl - the DOM Implementation to use
parserClassname - the XML parser classname

transcode

protected abstract void transcode(Document document,
                                  java.lang.String uri,
                                  TranscoderOutput output)
                           throws TranscoderException
Transcodes the specified Document in the specified output.
Parameters:
document - the document to transcode
uri - the uri of the document or null if any
output - the ouput where to transcode
Throws:
TranscoderException - if an error occured while transcoding
