SAXTransformerFactory (Java Platform SE 7 b138)

java.lang.Object
- javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
- - javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory

```
public abstract class SAXTransformerFactory
extends TransformerFactory
```
This class extends TransformerFactory to provide SAX-specific factory methods. It provides two types of ContentHandlers, one for creating Transformers, the other for creating Templates objects.
If an application wants to set the ErrorHandler or EntityResolver for an XMLReader used during a transformation, it should use a URIResolver to return the SAXSource which provides (with getXMLReader) a reference to the XMLReader.

Field Summary

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`static String`	`FEATURE` If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the TransformerFactory returned from `TransformerFactory.newInstance()` may be safely cast to a SAXTransformerFactory.
`static String`	`FEATURE_XMLFILTER` If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the `newXMLFilter(Source src)` and `newXMLFilter(Templates templates)` methods are supported.

public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler(Source src)
                                                  throws TransformerConfigurationException
```
    Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result, based on the transformation instructions specified by the argument.
    
    Parameters:
    src - The Source of the transformation instructions.
    
    Returns:
    TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.
    
    Throws:
    
    TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.
  - newTransformerHandler
```
public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler(Templates templates)
                                                  throws TransformerConfigurationException
```
    Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result, based on the Templates argument.
    
    Parameters:
    templates - The compiled transformation instructions.
    
    Returns:
    TransformerHandler ready to transform SAX events.
    
    Throws:
    
    TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TransformerHandler can not be created.
  - newTransformerHandler
```
public abstract TransformerHandler newTransformerHandler()
                                                  throws TransformerConfigurationException
```
    Get a TransformerHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Result. The transformation is defined as an identity (or copy) transformation, for example to copy a series of SAX parse events into a DOM tree.
    
    Returns:
    A non-null reference to a TransformerHandler, that may be used as a ContentHandler for SAX parse events.
    
    Throws:
    
    TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TransformerHandler cannot be created.
  - newTemplatesHandler
```
public abstract TemplatesHandler newTemplatesHandler()
                                              throws TransformerConfigurationException
```
    Get a TemplatesHandler object that can process SAX ContentHandler events into a Templates object.
    
    Returns:
    A non-null reference to a TransformerHandler, that may be used as a ContentHandler for SAX parse events.
    
    Throws:
    
    TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
  - newXMLFilter
```
public abstract XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Source src)
                                throws TransformerConfigurationException
```
    Create an XMLFilter that uses the given Source as the transformation instructions.
    
    Parameters:
    src - The Source of the transformation instructions.
    
    Returns:
    An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.
    
    Throws:
    
    TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
  - newXMLFilter
```
public abstract XMLFilter newXMLFilter(Templates templates)
                                throws TransformerConfigurationException
```
    Create an XMLFilter, based on the Templates argument..
    
    Parameters:
    templates - The compiled transformation instructions.
    
    Returns:
    An XMLFilter object, or null if this feature is not supported.
    
    Throws:
    
    TransformerConfigurationException - If for some reason the TemplatesHandler cannot be created.
