  • Constructor Details

    • Builder

      public Builder()
      Create a Builder and initialise variables
    • Builder

      public Builder(PipelineConfiguration pipe)
  • Method Details

    • setPipelineConfiguration

      public void setPipelineConfiguration(PipelineConfiguration pipe)
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Set the pipeline configuration
      Specified by:
      setPipelineConfiguration in interface Receiver
      Parameters:
      pipe - the pipeline configuration
    • getPipelineConfiguration

      public PipelineConfiguration getPipelineConfiguration()
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Get the pipeline configuration
      Specified by:
      getPipelineConfiguration in interface Receiver
      Returns:
      the pipeline configuration
    • getConfiguration

      public Configuration getConfiguration()
      Get the Configuration
      Returns:
      the Saxon configuration
    • getBuilderMonitor

      public BuilderMonitor getBuilderMonitor()
      Get a builder monitor for this builder. This must be called immediately after opening the builder, and all events to the builder must thenceforth be sent via the BuilderMonitor.
      Returns:
      a new BuilderMonitor appropriate to this kind of Builder; or null if the Builder does not provide this service. The default implementation returns null.
    • setSystemId

      public void setSystemId(String systemId)
      The SystemId is equivalent to the document-uri property defined in the XDM data model. It should be set only in the case of a document that is potentially retrievable via this URI. This means it should not be set in the case of a temporary tree constructed in the course of executing a query or transformation.
      Specified by:
      setSystemId in interface Receiver
      Specified by:
      setSystemId in interface Result
      Parameters:
      systemId - the SystemId, that is, the document-uri.
    • getSystemId

      public String getSystemId()
      The SystemId is equivalent to the document-uri property defined in the XDM data model. It should be set only in the case of a document that is potentially retrievable via this URI. This means the value will be null in the case of a temporary tree constructed in the course of executing a query or transformation.
      Specified by:
      getSystemId in interface Result
      Returns:
      the SystemId, that is, the document-uri.
    • setBaseURI

      public void setBaseURI(String baseURI)
      Set the base URI of the document node of the tree being constructed by this builder
      Parameters:
      baseURI - the base URI
    • getBaseURI

      public String getBaseURI()
      Get the base URI of the document node of the tree being constructed by this builder
      Returns:
      the base URI
    • setLineNumbering

      public void setLineNumbering(boolean lineNumbering)
      Set line numbering on or off
      Parameters:
      lineNumbering - set to true if line numbers are to be maintained for nodes in the tree being constructed.
    • setTiming

      public void setTiming(boolean on)
      Set timing option on or off
      Parameters:
      on - set to true to turn timing on. This causes the builder to display statistical information about the tree that is constructed. It corresponds to the command line -t option
    • isTiming

      public boolean isTiming()
      Get timing option
      Returns:
      true if timing information has been requested
    • open

      public void open()
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify the start of the event stream
      Specified by:
      open in interface Receiver
    • close

      public void close() throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify the end of the event stream
      Specified by:
      close in interface Receiver
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • usesTypeAnnotations

      public boolean usesTypeAnnotations()
      Ask whether this Receiver (or the downstream pipeline) makes any use of the type annotations supplied on element and attribute events
      Specified by:
      usesTypeAnnotations in interface Receiver
      Returns:
      true if the Receiver makes any use of this information. If false, the caller may supply untyped nodes instead of supplying the type annotation
    • getCurrentRoot

      public NodeInfo getCurrentRoot()
      Get the current root node. This will normally be a document node, but if the root of the tree is an element node, it can be an element.
      Returns:
      the root of the tree that is currently being built, or that has been most recently built using this builder
    • reset

      public void reset()
      Reset the builder to its initial state. The most important effect of calling this method (implemented in subclasses) is to release any links to the constructed document tree, allowing the memory occupied by the tree to released by the garbage collector even if the Builder is still in memory. This can happen because the Builder is referenced from a parser in the Configuration's parser pool.
