java.lang.Object | +--javax.xml.transform.Transformer
An instance of this abstract class can transform a source tree into a result tree.
An instance of this class can be obtained with the
TransformerFactory.newTransformer
method. This instance may then be used to process XML from a
variety of sources and write the transformation output to a
variety of sinks.
An object of this class may not be used in multiple threads running concurrently. Different Transformers may be used concurrently by different threads.
A Transformer
may be used multiple times. Parameters and
output properties are preserved across transformations.

public void reset()
Reset this Transformer
to its original configuration.
Transformer
is reset to the same state as when it was created with
TransformerFactory.newTransformer()
,
TransformerFactory.newTransformer(Source source)
or
Templates.newTransformer()
.
reset()
is designed to allow the reuse of existing Transformer
s
thus saving resources associated with the creation of new Transformer
s.
The reset Transformer
is not guaranteed to have the same URIResolver
or ErrorListener
Object
s, e.g. Object.equals(Object obj)
.
It is guaranteed to have a functionally equal URIResolver
and ErrorListener
.
public abstract void transform(Source xmlSource, Result outputTarget) throws TransformerException
Transform the XML Source
to a Result
.
Specific transformation behavior is determined by the settings of the
TransformerFactory
in effect when the
Transformer
was instantiated and any modifications made to
the Transformer
instance.
An empty Source
is represented as an empty document
as constructed by DocumentBuilder.newDocument()
.
The result of transforming an empty Source
depends on
the transformation behavior; it is not always an empty
Result
.

Pass a qualified name as a two-part string, the namespace URI enclosed in curly braces ({}), followed by the local name. If the name has a null URL, the String only contain the local name. An application can safely check for a non-null URI by testing to see if the first character of the name is a '{' character.
For example, if a URI and local name were obtained from an element defined with <xyz:foo xmlns:xyz="http://xyz.foo.com/yada/baz.html"/>, then the qualified name would be "{http://xyz.foo.com/yada/baz.html}foo". Note that no prefix is used.

This method does not return a default parameter value, which cannot be determined until the node context is evaluated during the transformation process.

public abstract void setOutputProperties(java.util.Properties oformat)
If argument to this function is null, any properties previously set are removed, and the value will revert to the value defined in the templates object.
Pass a qualified property key name as a two-part string, the namespace URI enclosed in curly braces ({}), followed by the local name. If the name has a null URL, the String only contain the local name. An application can safely check for a non-null URI by testing to see if the first character of the name is a '{' character.
For example, if a URI and local name were obtained from an element defined with <xyz:foo xmlns:xyz="http://xyz.foo.com/yada/baz.html"/>, then the qualified name would be "{http://xyz.foo.com/yada/baz.html}foo". Note that no prefix is used.

Properties
public abstract java.util.Properties getOutputProperties()
Get a copy of the output properties for the transformation.
The properties returned should contain properties set by the user,
and properties set by the stylesheet, and these properties
are "defaulted" by default properties specified by
section 16 of the
XSL Transformations (XSLT) W3C Recommendation. The properties that
were specifically set by the user or the stylesheet should be in the base
Properties list, while the XSLT default properties that were not
specifically set should be the default Properties list. Thus,
getOutputProperties().getProperty(String key) will obtain any
property in that was set by setOutputProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
,
setOutputProperties(java.util.Properties)
, in the stylesheet, or the default
properties, while
getOutputProperties().get(String key) will only retrieve properties
that were explicitly set by setOutputProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
,
setOutputProperties(java.util.Properties)
, or in the stylesheet.
Note that mutation of the Properties object returned will not effect the properties that the transformer contains.
If any of the argument keys are not recognized and are not
namespace qualified, the property will be ignored and not returned.
In other words the behaviour is not orthogonal with
setOutputProperties
.

Pass a qualified property name as a two-part string, the namespace URI enclosed in curly braces ({}), followed by the local name. If the name has a null URL, the String only contain the local name. An application can safely check for a non-null URI by testing to see if the first character of the name is a '{' character.
