### SaxonXQDataFactory

    public SaxonXQDataFactory()

Method Detail

### init

    protected void init()

### setObjectConverter

    public void setObjectConverter(ObjectConverter converter)

  Set the ObjectConverter to be used. This allows user-defined object conversions to override or supplement the standard conversions

  Parameters:
    `converter` - the user-supplied ObjectConverter

### getObjectConverter

    public ObjectConverter getObjectConverter()

  Get the ObjectConverter in use. This will either be the default object converter supplied by Saxon, or a user-supplied ObjectConverter if one has been set.

### createAtomicType

    public javax.xml.xquery.XQItemType createAtomicType(int baseType)
                                                 throws javax.xml.xquery.XQException

  Create an atomic item type object representing a particular built-in atomic type

  Specified by:
    `createAtomicType` in interface `javax.xml.xquery.XQDataFactory`
  Parameters:
    `baseType` - the built-in atomic type, typically a constant such as XQItemType.XQBASETYPE_BOOLEAN
  Returns:
    the corresponding XQItemType
  Throws:
    `javax.xml.xquery.XQException` - if the supplied baseType parameter is not an atomic type

### createAtomicType

    public javax.xml.xquery.XQItemType createAtomicType(int baseType,
                                                        javax.xml.namespace.QName typename,

  See interface definition, and description of Saxon extensions below.

  In addition to the actions described in the XQJ interface definitions, Saxon allows the typename to be a name representing a Java external type. In this case the URI part of the QName must be `NamespaceConstant.JAVA_TYPE`, and the local part of the name must be the Java class name (qualified with its package name)

  Specified by:
    `createAtomicType` in interface `javax.xml.xquery.XQDataFactory`
  Parameters:
    `baseType` - the "baseType" (in XQJ terminology)
    `typename` - the qualified name of the type
    `schemaURI` - the location of a schema document in which the type is defined (may be null)
  Returns:
    the item type definition
  Throws:
    `javax.xml.xquery.XQException`
