DatatypeFactory (Java Platform SE 7 b138)

java.lang.Object
- javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory

```
public abstract class DatatypeFactory
extends Object
```
Factory that creates new javax.xml.datatype Objects that map XML to/from Java Objects.

newInstance() is used to create a new DatatypeFactory. The following implementation resolution mechanisms are used in the following order:
1. If the system property specified by DATATYPEFACTORY_PROPERTY, "javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory", exists, a class with the name of the property's value is instantiated. Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a DatatypeConfigurationException.
2. If the file ${JAVA_HOME}/lib/jaxp.properties exists, it is loaded in a Properties Object. The Properties Object is then queried for the property as documented in the prior step and processed as documented in the prior step.
3. The services resolution mechanism is used, e.g. META-INF/services/java.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory. Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a DatatypeConfigurationException.
4. The final mechanism is to attempt to instantiate the Class specified by DATATYPEFACTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_CLASS. Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a DatatypeConfigurationException.

- DATATYPEFACTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_CLASS
```
public static final String DATATYPEFACTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_CLASS
```
  Default implementation class name as defined in JSR 206: Java(TM) API for XML Processing (JAXP) 1.3.
  
  Implementers should specify the name of an appropriate class to be instantiated if no other implementation resolution mechanism succeeds.
  
  Users should not refer to this field; it is intended only to document a factory implementation detail.

Constructor Detail
- DatatypeFactory
```
protected DatatypeFactory()
```
  Protected constructor to prevent instaniation outside of package.
  
  Use newInstance() to create a DatatypeFactory.

Method Detail

newInstance
```
public static DatatypeFactory newInstance()
                                   throws DatatypeConfigurationException
```
Obtain a new instance of a DatatypeFactory.

The implementation resolution mechanisms are defined in this Class's documentation.

Returns:
New instance of a DatatypeFactory

Throws:

DatatypeConfigurationException - If the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.
See Also:
newInstance(String factoryClassName, ClassLoader classLoader)

newInstance
```
public static DatatypeFactory newInstance(String factoryClassName,
                          ClassLoader classLoader)
                                   throws DatatypeConfigurationException
```
Obtain a new instance of a DatatypeFactory from class name. This function is useful when there are multiple providers in the classpath. It gives more control to the application as it can specify which provider should be loaded.

Once an application has obtained a reference to a DatatypeFactory it can use the factory to configure and obtain datatype instances.

Tip for Trouble-shooting

Setting the jaxp.debug system property will cause this method to print a lot of debug messages to System.err about what it is doing and where it is looking at.

If you have problems try:
```
 java -Djaxp.debug=1 YourProgram ....
 
```
Parameters:
factoryClassName - fully qualified factory class name that provides implementation of javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory.
classLoader - ClassLoader used to load the factory class. If null current Thread's context classLoader is used to load the factory class.

Returns:
New instance of a DatatypeFactory

Throws:

DatatypeConfigurationException - if factoryClassName is null, or the factory class cannot be loaded, instantiated.

newDuration
```
public abstract Duration newDuration(String lexicalRepresentation)
```
Obtain a new instance of a Duration specifying the Duration as its string representation, "PnYnMnDTnHnMnS", as defined in XML Schema 1.0 section 3.2.6.1.

XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, 3.2.6 duration, defines duration as:

duration represents a duration of time. The value space of duration is a six-dimensional space where the coordinates designate the Gregorian year, month, day, hour, minute, and second components defined in Section 5.5.3.2 of [ISO 8601], respectively. These components are ordered in their significance by their order of appearance i.e. as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

All six values are set and availabe from the created Duration

The XML Schema specification states that values can be of an arbitrary size. Implementations may chose not to or be incapable of supporting arbitrarily large and/or small values. An UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown with a message indicating implementation limits if implementation capacities are exceeded.

Parameters:
lexicalRepresentation - String representation of a Duration.

Returns:
New Duration created from parsing the lexicalRepresentation.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If lexicalRepresentation is not a valid representation of a Duration.

UnsupportedOperationException - If implementation cannot support requested values.

NullPointerException - if lexicalRepresentation is null.

newDuration
```
public abstract Duration newDuration(long durationInMilliSeconds)
```
Obtain a new instance of a Duration specifying the Duration as milliseconds.

XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, 3.2.6 duration, defines duration as:

duration represents a duration of time. The value space of duration is a six-dimensional space where the coordinates designate the Gregorian year, month, day, hour, minute, and second components defined in Section 5.5.3.2 of [ISO 8601], respectively. These components are ordered in their significance by their order of appearance i.e. as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

All six values are set by computing their values from the specified milliseconds and are availabe using the get methods of the created Duration. The values conform to and are defined by:
- ISO 8601:2000(E) Section 5.5.3.2 Alternative format
- W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix D, ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats
- XMLGregorianCalendar Date/Time Datatype Field Mapping Between XML Schema 1.0 and Java Representation
The default start instance is defined by GregorianCalendar's use of the start of the epoch: i.e., Calendar.YEAR = 1970, Calendar.MONTH = Calendar.JANUARY, Calendar.DATE = 1, etc. This is important as there are variations in the Gregorian Calendar, e.g. leap years have different days in the month = Calendar.FEBRUARY so the result of Duration.getMonths() and Duration.getDays() can be influenced.
Parameters:
durationInMilliSeconds - Duration in milliseconds to create.

Returns:
New Duration representing durationInMilliSeconds.

year - of XMLGregorianCalendar to be created.
month - of XMLGregorianCalendar to be created.
day - of XMLGregorianCalendar to be created.
hour - of XMLGregorianCalendar to be created.
minute - of XMLGregorianCalendar to be created.
second - of XMLGregorianCalendar to be created.
millisecond - of XMLGregorianCalendar to be created.
timezone - of XMLGregorianCalendar to be created.

Returns:
XMLGregorianCalendar created from specified values.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If any individual parameter's value is outside the maximum value constraint for the field as determined by the Date/Time Data Mapping table in XMLGregorianCalendar or if the composite values constitute an invalid XMLGregorianCalendar instance as determined by XMLGregorianCalendar.isValid().

newXMLGregorianCalendarDate
```
public XMLGregorianCalendar newXMLGregorianCalendarDate(int year,
                                               int month,
