Class Controller

All Implemented Interfaces:
NodeOrderComparer
Direct Known Subclasses:
IdentityTransformer

public class Controller extends Transformer implements NodeOrderComparer
Controller processes an XML file, calling registered node handlers when appropriate to process its elements, character content, and attributes.

Version:
10 December 1999: methods for building the tree extracted to class Builder, methods for maintaining rulesets extracted to RuleManager.

The Controller class now incorporates the previous StylesheetInstance class. A StyleSheetInstance represents a single execution of a prepared stylesheet. A PreparedStyleSheet can be used any number of times, in series or in parallel, but each use of it to render a source document requires a separate Controller object, which is not reusable or shareable.

The Controller is capable of comparing whether nodes are in document order; therefore it acts as a NodeOrderComparer.

  • Field Details

  • Constructor Details

    • Controller

      public Controller()
      Default constructor is provided for Java-only programs, i.e. applications that use the RuleManager to set up Java handlers for nodes, without using a stylesheet
    • Controller

      protected Controller(TransformerFactoryImpl factory)
      Create a Controller and initialise variables. Constructor is protected, the Controller should be created using newTransformer() in the PreparedStyleSheet class.

    • reset

      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(javax.xml.transform.Source source) or Templates.newTransformer(). reset() is designed to allow the reuse of existing Transformers thus saving resources associated with the creation of new Transformers.

      The reset Transformer is not guaranteed to have the same URIResolver or ErrorListener Objects, e.g. Object.equals(Object obj). It is guaranteed to have a functionally equal URIResolver and ErrorListener.

      NOTE: the Saxon implementation of this method does not clear the document pool. This is because the reason for resetting an existing Transformer rather than creating a new one is to reuse resources, and the document pool is the most important resource held by the Transformer. If there is a requirement to clear the document pool, then it is possible either (a) to call the clearDocumentPool() method, or (b) to create a new Transformer.

      Overrides:
      reset in class Transformer

    • getTransformerFactory

      public TransformerFactoryImpl getTransformerFactory()
    • setDiagnosticName

      public void setDiagnosticName(String name)
      Set a diagnostic name for this transformation (accessible through toString())
    • toString

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
    • run

      public void run(NodeInfo node) throws TransformerException
      Process a Document.

      This method is intended for use when performing a pure Java transformation, without a stylesheet. Where there is an XSLT stylesheet, use transformDocument() or transform() instead: those methods set up information from the stylesheet before calling run().

      The process starts by calling the registered node handler to process the supplied node. Note that the same document can be processed any number of times, typically with different node handlers for each pass. The NodeInfo will typically be the root of a tree built using com.icl.saxon.om.Builder.

      Throws:
      TransformerException
    • applyTemplates

      public void applyTemplates(Context c, Expression select, Mode mode, ParameterSet parameters) throws TransformerException
      ApplyTemplates to process selected nodes using the handlers registered for a particular mode.
      Parameters:
      select - A node-set expression (or more accurately a node-list) that determines which nodes are selected. Note: if the nodes are to be sorted, the select Expression will take care of this.
      mode - Identifies the processing mode. It should match the mode defined when the element handler was registered using setHandler with a mode parameter. Set this parameter to null to invoke the default mode.
      parameters - A ParameterSet containing the parameters to the handler/template being invoked. Specify null if there are no parameters.
      Throws:
      TransformerException
    • applyImports

      public void applyImports(Context c, Mode mode, int min, int max, ParameterSet params) throws TransformerException
      Apply a template imported from the stylesheet containing the current template
