Method Details
-
initialize
Perform platform-specific initialization of the configuration- Parameters:
config
- the Saxon Configuration
-
isJava
boolean isJava()Return true if this is the Java platform- Returns:
- true if this is the Java platform
-
isDotNet
boolean isDotNet()Return true if this is the .NET platform- Returns:
- true if this is the .NET platform
-
getVerifierClassName
String getVerifierClassName()Get the verifier class name appropriate to the platform -
getPlatformVersion
String getPlatformVersion()Get the platform version- Returns:
- the version of the platform, for example "Java version 1.5.09"
-
getPlatformSuffix
String getPlatformSuffix()Get a suffix letter to add to the Saxon version number to identify the platform- Returns:
- "J" for Java, "N" for .NET
-
loadParser
XMLReader loadParser()Get a parser by instantiating the SAXParserFactory- Returns:
- the parser (XMLReader)
-
getParserSource
Source getParserSource(PipelineConfiguration pipe, StreamSource input, int validation, boolean dtdValidation, int stripspace) Convert a StreamSource to either a SAXSource or a PullSource, depending on the native parser of the selected platform- Parameters:
pipe
- the pipeline Configurationinput
- the supplied StreamSourcevalidation
- required validation mode, for example Validation.STRICTdtdValidation
- true if DTD-based input validation is requiredstripspace
- option for whitespace-stripping (ALL, NONE, or IGNORABLE)- Returns:
- the PullSource or SAXSource, initialized with a suitable parser, or the original input Source, if now special handling is required or possible
-
makeCollation
StringCollator makeCollation(Configuration config, Properties props, String uri) throws XPathException Obtain a collation with a given set of properties. The set of properties is extensible and variable across platforms. Common properties with example values include lang=en-GB, strength=primary, case-order=upper-first, ignore-modifiers=yes, alphanumeric=yes. Properties that are not supported are generally ignored; however some errors, such as failing to load a requested class, are fatal.- Parameters:
config
- the configuration objectprops
- the desired properties of the collationuri
- the collation URI- Returns:
- a collation with these properties
- Throws:
XPathException
- if a fatal error occurs
-
canReturnCollationKeys
Given a collation, determine whether it is capable of returning collation keys. The essential property of collation keys is that if two values are equal under the collation, then the collation keys are equal under the equals() method.- Parameters:
collation
- the collation being examined, provided as a Comparator- Returns:
- true if this collation can supply collation keys
-
getCollationKey
Given a collation, get a collation key. The essential property of collation keys is that if two values are equal under the collation, then the collation keys are equal under the equals() method.- Parameters:
namedCollation
- the collation in usevalue
- the string whose collation key is required- Returns:
- a representation of the collation key, such that two collation keys are equal() if and only if the string values they represent are equal under the specified collation.
- Throws:
ClassCastException
- if the collation is not one that is capable of supplying collation keys (this should have been checked in advance)
-
getExternalObjectType
Get a SchemaType representing a wrapped external (Java or .NET) object- Parameters:
config
- the Saxon Configurationuri
- the namespace URI of the schema typelocalName
- the local name of the schema type- Returns:
- the SchemaType object representing this type
-
getInstallationDirectory
Return the name of the directory in which the software is installed (if available)- Parameters:
edition
- The edition of the software that is loaded ("HE", "PE", or "EE")config
- the Saxon configuration- Returns:
- the name of the directory in which Saxon is installed, if available, or null otherwise
-
registerAllBuiltInObjectModels
Register all the external object models that are provided as standard with the relevant edition of Saxon for this Configuration- Since:
- 9.3
-
setDefaultSAXParserFactory
void setDefaultSAXParserFactory()Set the default XML parser to be loaded by the SAXParserFactory on this platform. Needed because the Apache catalog resolver uses the SAXParserFactory to instantiate a parser, and if not customized this causes a failure on the .NET platform.- Since:
- 9.4
-
getClassLoaderForGeneratedClass
ClassLoader getClassLoaderForGeneratedClass(String definedClassName, byte[] classFile, Configuration config, Class thisClass) Return the class loader required to load the bytecode generated classes- Parameters:
definedClassName
- The generated class nameclassFile
- The bytecode of the generated classconfig
- The cThe saxon configurationthisClass
- The class object generated- Returns:
- the class loader object
- Since:
- 9.4
