public class TransformerFactoryImpl
extends javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory

A TransformerFactoryImpl instance can be used to create Transformer and Template objects.

The system property that determines which Factory implementation to create is named "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory". This property names a concrete subclass of the TransformerFactory abstract class. If the property is not defined, a platform default is be used.

This implementation class implements the abstract methods on both the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory and javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory classes.

  Overrides:
    `newTransformer` in class `javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory`
