Method Details
-
initialize
Perform platform-specific initialization of the configuration -
makeAbsolute
Construct an absolute URI from a relative URI and a base URI- Parameters:
relativeURI
- the relative URIbase
- the base URI- Returns:
- the absolutized URI
- Throws:
URISyntaxException
-
getPlatformVersion
String getPlatformVersion()Get the platform version -
getPlatformSuffix
String getPlatformSuffix()Get a suffix letter to add to the Saxon version number to identify the platform -
getParserSource
Convert a StreamSource to either a SAXSource or a PullSource, depending on the native parser of the selected platform- Parameters:
input
- the supplied StreamSourcevalidation
-dtdValidation
-stripspace
-- Returns:
- the PullSource or SAXSource, initialized with a suitable parser, or the original input Source, if now special handling is required or possible
-
compileRegularExpression
RegularExpression compileRegularExpression(CharSequence regex, boolean isXPath, CharSequence flags) throws XPathException Create a compiled regular expression- Parameters:
regex
- the source text of the regular expression, in XML Schema or XPath syntaxisXPath
- set to true if this is an XPath regular expression, false if it is XML Schemaflags
- the flags argument as supplied to functions such as fn:matches(), in string form- Returns:
- the compiled regular expression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if the syntax of the regular expression or flags is incorrect
-
makeCollation
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=ed-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 collation- 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.- 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)
-
addFunctionLibraries
Add platform-specific function libraries to the function library list -
