## javax.xml.transform.dom
Class DOMSource

    java.lang.Object
      javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Source

    public class DOMSource

extends java.lang.Object
implements Source

Acts as a holder for a transformation Source tree in the form of a Document Object Model (DOM) tree.

Note that XSLT requires namespace support. Attempting to transform a DOM that was not contructed with a namespace-aware parser may result in errors. Parsers can be made namespace aware by calling `DocumentBuilderFactory.setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness)`.

Field Summary
`static java.lang.String` `FEATURE` If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the Transformer supports Source input of this type.

Constructor Summary
`DOMSource()` Zero-argument default constructor.
`DOMSource(Node n)` Create a new input source with a DOM node.
`DOMSource(Node node, java.lang.String systemID)` Create a new input source with a DOM node, and with the system ID also passed in as the base URI.

Method Summary
`Node` `getNode()` Get the node that represents a Source DOM tree.
`java.lang.String` `getSystemId()` Get the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.
`void` `setNode(Node node)` Set the node that will represents a Source DOM tree.
`void` `setSystemId(java.lang.String systemID)` Set the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

Field Detail

### FEATURE

    public static final java.lang.String FEATURE

  If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the Transformer supports Source input of this type.

    Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### DOMSource

    public DOMSource()

  Zero-argument default constructor. If this constructor is used, and no DOM source is set using `setNode(Node node)` , then the `Transformer` will create an empty source `Document` using `DocumentBuilder.newDocument()`.

  See Also:
    `Transformer.transform(Source xmlSource, Result outputTarget)`

### DOMSource

    public DOMSource(Node n)

  Create a new input source with a DOM node. The operation will be applied to the subtree rooted at this node. In XSLT, a "/" pattern still means the root of the tree (not the subtree), and the evaluation of global variables and parameters is done from the root node also.

  Parameters:
    `n` - The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.

### DOMSource

    public DOMSource(Node node,
                     java.lang.String systemID)

  Create a new input source with a DOM node, and with the system ID also passed in as the base URI.

  Parameters:
    `node` - The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.
    `systemID` - Specifies the base URI associated with node.

Method Detail

### setNode

    public void setNode(Node node)

  Set the node that will represents a Source DOM tree.

  Parameters:
    `node` - The node that is to be transformed.

### getNode

    public Node getNode()

  Get the node that represents a Source DOM tree.

  Returns:
    The node that is to be transformed.

### setSystemId

    public void setSystemId(java.lang.String systemID)

  Set the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

  Specified by:
    `setSystemId` in interface `Source`
  Parameters:
    `systemID` - Base URL for this DOM tree.

### getSystemId

    public java.lang.String getSystemId()

  Get the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

  Specified by:
    `getSystemId` in interface `Source`
  Returns:
    Base URL for this DOM tree.
