## net.sf.saxon.s9api
Class XsltTransformer

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.s9api.XsltTransformer

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Destination

    public class XsltTransformer

extends Object
implements Destination

An `XsltTransformer` represents a compiled and loaded stylesheet ready for execution. The `XsltTransformer` holds details of the dynamic evaluation context for the stylesheet.

An `XsltTransformer` must not be used concurrently in multiple threads. It is safe, however, to reuse the object within a single thread to run the same stylesheet several times. Running the stylesheet does not change the context that has been established.

An `XsltTransformer` is always constructed by running the `Load` method of an `XsltExecutable`.

An `XsltTransformer` is itself a `Destination`. This means it is possible to use one `XsltTransformer` as the destination to receive the results of another transformation, this providing a simple way for transformations to be chained into a pipeline.

Since:
  9.0

Constructor Detail

### XsltTransformer

    protected XsltTransformer(Processor processor,
                              Controller controller)

  Protected constructor

  Parameters:
    `processor` - the S9API processor
    `controller` - the Saxon controller object

Method Detail

### setInitialTemplate

    public void setInitialTemplate(QName templateName)
                            throws SaxonApiException

  Set the initial named template for the transformation

  Parameters:
    `templateName` - the name of the initial template, or null to indicate that there should be no initial named template
  Throws:
    `SaxonApiException` - if there is no named template with this name

### getInitialTemplate

    public QName getInitialTemplate()

  Get the initial named template for the transformation, if one has been set

  Returns:
    the name of the initial template, or null if none has been set

### setInitialMode

    public void setInitialMode(QName modeName)

  Set the initial mode for the transformation

  Parameters:
    `modeName` - the name of the initial mode, or null to indicate the default (unnamed) mode

### getInitialMode

    public QName getInitialMode()

  Get the initial mode for the transformation, if one has been set.

  Returns:
    the initial mode for the transformation. Returns null if no mode has been set, or if the mode was set to null to represent the default (unnamed) mode

### setSchemaValidationMode

    public void setSchemaValidationMode(ValidationMode mode)

  Set the schema validation mode for the transformation. This indicates how source documents loaded specifically for this transformation will be handled. This applies to the principal source document if supplied as a SAXSource or StreamSource, and to all documents loaded during the transformation using the `doc()`, `document()`, or `collection()` functions.

  Parameters:
    `mode` - the validation mode. Passing null causes no change to the existing value. Passing `ValidationMode.DEFAULT` resets to the initial value, which determines the validation requirements from the Saxon Configuration.

### getSchemaValidationMode

    public ValidationMode getSchemaValidationMode()

  Get the schema validation mode for the transformation. This indicates how source documents loaded specifically for this transformation will be handled. This applies to the principal source document if supplied as a SAXSource or StreamSource, and to all documents loaded during the transformation using the `doc()`, `document()`, or `collection()` functions.

  Returns:
    the validation mode.

### setSource

    public void setSource(Source source)
                   throws SaxonApiException

  Set the source document for the transformation.

  If the source is an instance of `NodeInfo`, the supplied node is used directly as the context node of the query.

  If the source is an instance of `DOMSource`, the DOM node identified by the DOMSource is wrapped as a Saxon node, and this is then used as the context item

  In all other cases a new Saxon tree will be built by the transformation engine when the transformation starts, unless it is a Saxon-EE streaming transformation, in which case the document is processed in streaming fashion as it is being parsed.

  Parameters:
    `source` - the principal source document for the transformation
  Throws:
    `SaxonApiException`

### setInitialContextNode

    public void setInitialContextNode(XdmNode node)

  Set the initial context node for the transformation.

  This is ignored in the case where the `XsltTransformer` is used as the `Destination` of another process. In that case the initial context node will always be the document node of the document that is being streamed to this destination.

  Calling this method has the side-effect of setting the initial source to null.

  Parameters:
    `node` - the initial context node, or null if there is to be no initial context node

### getInitialContextNode

    public XdmNode getInitialContextNode()

  Get the initial context node for the transformation, if one has been set

  Returns:
    the initial context node, or null if none has been set. This will not necessarily be the same `XdmNode` instance as was supplied, but it will be an XdmNode object that represents the same underlying node.

### setParameter

    public void setParameter(QName name,
                             XdmValue value)

  Set the value of a stylesheet parameter

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the stylesheet parameter, as a QName
    `value` - the value of the stylesheet parameter, or null to clear a previously set value

### getParameter

    public XdmValue getParameter(QName name)

  Get the value that has been set for a stylesheet parameter

  Parameters:
    `name` - the parameter whose name is required
  Returns:
    the value that has been set for the parameter, or null if no value has been set

### setDestination

    public void setDestination(Destination destination)

  Set the destination to be used for the transformation.

  This method can be used to chain transformations into a pipeline, by using one `XsltTransformer` as the destination of another

  If the destination is a `Serializer`, then a side-effect of this method is to set the base output URI for the transformation. This acts as the base URI for resolving the `href` attribute of any `xsl:result-document` instruction. The serialiation parameters defined in the `Serializer` override any serialization parameters defined using `xsl:output` for the principal output of the transformation. However, they have no effect on any output produced using `xsl:result-document`.

  Parameters:
    `destination` - the destination to be used

### getDestination

    public Destination getDestination()

  Get the destination that was specified in a previous call of `setDestination(net.sf.saxon.s9api.Destination)`

  Returns:
    the destination, or null if none has been supplied

### setBaseOutputURI

    public void setBaseOutputURI(String uri)

  Set the base output URI.

  This defaults to the system ID of the Destination for the principal output of the transformation if this is known; if it is not known, it defaults to the current directory.

  The base output URI is used for resolving relative URIs in the `href` attribute of the `xsl:result-document` instruction.

  Parameters:
    `uri` - the base output URI
  Since:
    9.2

### getBaseOutputURI

    public String getBaseOutputURI()

  Get the base output URI.

  This returns the value set using the `setBaseOutputURI(java.lang.String)` method. If no value has been set explicitly, then the method returns null if called before the transformation, or the computed default base output URI if called after the transformation.

  The base output URI is used for resolving relative URIs in the `href` attribute of the `xsl:result-document` instruction.

  Returns:
    the base output URI
  Since:
    9.2

### setURIResolver

    public void setURIResolver(URIResolver resolver)

  Set an object that will be used to resolve URIs used in fn:doc() and related functions.

  Parameters:
    `resolver` - An object that implements the URIResolver interface, or null.
  Since:
    9.3

### getURIResolver

    public URIResolver getURIResolver()

  Get the URI resolver.

  Returns:
    the user-supplied URI resolver if there is one, or null otherwise
  Since:
    9.3

### setErrorListener

    public void setErrorListener(ErrorListener listener)

  Set the ErrorListener to be used during this transformation

  Parameters:
    `listener` - The error listener to be used. This is notified of all dynamic errors detected during the transformation.
  Since:
    9.2

### getErrorListener

    public ErrorListener getErrorListener()

  Get the ErrorListener being used during this compilation episode

  Returns:
    listener The error listener in use. This is notified of all dynamic errors detected during the transformation. If no user-supplied ErrorListener has been set the method will return a system-supplied ErrorListener.
  Since:
    9.2

### setMessageListener

    public void setMessageListener(MessageListener listener)

  Set the MessageListener to be notified whenever the stylesheet evaluates an `xsl:message` instruction. If no MessageListener is nominated, the output of `xsl:message` instructions will be serialized and sent to the standard error stream.

  Parameters:
    `listener` - the MessageListener to be used
  Since:
    9.1

### getMessageListener

    public MessageListener getMessageListener()

  Get the MessageListener to be notified whenever the stylesheet evaluates an `xsl:message` instruction. If no MessageListener has been nominated, return null

  Returns:
    the user-supplied MessageListener, or null if none has been supplied
  Since:
    9.1

### setTraceListener

    public void setTraceListener(TraceListener listener)

  Set a TraceListener to be notified of all events occurring during the transformation. This will only be effective if the stylesheet was compiled with trace code enabled (see `XsltCompiler.setCompileWithTracing(boolean)`)

  Parameters:
    `listener` - the TraceListener to be used. Note that the TraceListener has access to interal Saxon interfaces which may vary from one release to the next. It is also possible that the TraceListener interface itself may be changed in future releases.
  Since:
    9.2

### getTraceListener

    public TraceListener getTraceListener()

  Get the TraceListener to be notified of all events occurring during the transformation. If no TraceListener has been nominated, return null

  Returns:
    the user-supplied TraceListener, or null if none has been supplied
  Since:
    9.2

### transform

    public void transform()
                   throws SaxonApiException

  Perform the transformation. If this method is used, a destination must have been supplied previously

  Throws:
    `SaxonApiException` - if any dynamic error occurs during the transformation
    `IllegalStateException` - if no destination has been supplied

### getReceiver

    public Receiver getReceiver(Configuration config)
                         throws SaxonApiException

  Return a Receiver which can be used to supply the principal source document for the transformation. This method is intended primarily for internal use, though it can also be called by a user application that wishes to feed events into the transformation engine.

  Saxon calls this method to obtain a Receiver, to which it then sends a sequence of events representing the content of an XML document. This method is provided so that `XsltTransformer` implements `Destination`, allowing one transformation to receive the results of another in a pipeline.

  Before calling this method, the `setDestination(net.sf.saxon.s9api.Destination)` method must be called to supply a destination for the transformation.

  Note that when an `XsltTransformer` is used as a `Destination`, the initial context node set on that `XsltTransformer` is ignored.

  Specified by:
    `getReceiver` in interface `Destination`
  Parameters:
    `config` - The Saxon configuration. This is supplied so that the destination can use information from the configuration (for example, a reference to the name pool) to construct or configure the returned Receiver.
  Returns:
    the Receiver to which events are to be sent.
  Throws:
    `SaxonApiException` - if the Receiver cannot be created
    `IllegalStateException` - if no Destination has been supplied

### close

    public void close()
               throws SaxonApiException

  Close this destination, allowing resources to be released. Used when this XsltTransformer is acting as the destination of another transformation. Saxon calls this method when it has finished writing to the destination.

  Specified by:
    `close` in interface `Destination`
  Throws:
    `SaxonApiException`

### getUnderlyingController

    public Controller getUnderlyingController()

  Get the underlying Controller used to implement this XsltTransformer. This provides access to lower-level methods not otherwise available in the s9api interface. Note that classes and methods obtained by this route cannot be guaranteed stable from release to release.
