Class Configuration

      net.sf.saxon.Configuration

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, SourceResolver

Direct Known Subclasses:
  SchemaAwareConfiguration

    public class Configuration

extends Object
implements Serializable, SourceResolver

This class holds details of user-selected configuration options for a set of transformations and/or queries. When running XSLT, the preferred way of setting configuration options is via the JAXP TransformerFactory interface, but the Configuration object provides a finer level of control. As yet there is no standard API for XQuery, so the only way of setting Configuration information is to use the methods on this class directly.

As well as holding configuration settings, this class acts as a factory for classes providing service in particular areas: error handling, URI resolution, and the like. Some of these services are chosen on the basis of the current platform (Java or .NET), some vary depending whether the environment is schema-aware or not.

The `Configuration` provides access to a `NamePool` which is used to manage all the names used in stylesheets, queries, schemas, and source and documents: the NamePool allocates integer codes to these names allowing efficient storage and comparison. Normally there will be a one-to-one relationship between a `NamePool` and a `Configuration`. It is possible, however, for several `Configuration` objects to share the same `NamePool`. Until Saxon 8.9, by default all `Configuration` objects shared a single `NamePool` unless configured otherwise; this changed in 8.9 so that the default is to allocate a new `NamePool` for each `Configuration`.

The `Configuration` establishes the scope within which node identity is managed. Every document belongs to a `Configuration`, and every node has a distinct identity within that `Configuration`. In consequence, it is not possible for any query or transformation to manipulate multiple documents unless they all belong to the same `Configuration`.

Saxon-SA has a subclass of the `Configuration` class which provides the additional services needed for schema-aware processing. The `SchemaAwareConfiguration` also holds a cache of loaded schema components used for compiling schema-aware transformations and queries, and for validating instance documents.

Since Saxon 8.4, the JavaDoc documentation for Saxon attempts to identify interfaces that are considered stable, and will only be changed in a backwards-incompatible way if there is an overriding reason to do so. These interfaces and methods are labelled with the JavaDoc "since" tag. The value 8.n indicates a method in this category that was introduced in Saxon version 8.n: or in the case of 8.4, that was present in Saxon 8.4 and possibly in earlier releases. (In some cases, these methods have been unchanged for a long time.) Methods without a "since" tag, although public, are provided for internal use or for use by advanced users, and are subject to change from one release to the next. The presence of a "since" tag on a class or interface indicates that there are one or more methods in the class that are considered stable; it does not mean that all methods are stable.

Since:
  8.4

Constructor Detail

### Configuration

    public Configuration()

  Create a configuration object with default settings for all options. This is equivalent to calling `new Configuration(true)`.

  Since:
    8.4

Method Detail

### makeSchemaAwareConfiguration

    public static Configuration makeSchemaAwareConfiguration(ClassLoader classLoader,
                                                             String className)
                                                      throws RuntimeException

  Static method to instantiate a schema-aware configuration.

  On the .NET platform, this method should not be called unless it is known that the assembly saxon8sa.dll has already been loaded. This can be achieved by an appropriate call on Assembly.Load(): for an example, see the C# Configuration.cs class in the Saxon.Api namespace.

  Parameters:
    `classLoader` - - the class loader to be used. If null, the context class loader for the current thread is used.
    `className` - - the name of the schema aware configuration class. Defaults to "com.saxonica.validate.SchemaAwareConfiguration" if null is supplied. This allows an assembly qualified name to be supplied under .NET. The class, once instantiated, must be an instance of Configuration, but despite the name of this method there is nothing that requires it to be schema-aware.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeException` - if the Saxon-SA product cannot be loaded or if no license key is available.

### getProductTitle

    public String getProductTitle()

  Get a message used to identify this product when a transformation is run using the -t option

  Returns:
    A string containing both the product name and the product version
  Since:
    8.4

### isSchemaAware

    public boolean isSchemaAware(int language)

  Determine if the configuration is schema-aware, for the given host language

  Parameters:
    `language` - the required host language: XSLT, XQUERY, or XML_SCHEMA
  Since:
    8.4

### displayLicenseMessage

    public void displayLicenseMessage()

  Display a message about the license status

### getHostLanguage

    public int getHostLanguage()

  Get the host language used in this configuration. The typical values are XSLT and XQUERY. The values XML_SCHEMA and JAVA_APPLICATION may also be encountered.

  This method is problematic because it is possible to run multiple transformations or queries within the same configuration. The method is therefore best avoided. Instead, use `Executable.getHostLanguage()`. Internally its only use is in deciding (in Saxon-SA only) which error listener to use by default at compile time, and since the standard XSLT and XQuery listeners have no differences when used for static errors, the choice is immaterial.

  Returns:
    Configuration.XSLT or Configuration.XQUERY

### setHostLanguage

    public void setHostLanguage(int hostLanguage)

  Set the host language used in this configuration. The possible values are XSLT and XQUERY.

  Parameters:
    `hostLanguage` - Configuration.XSLT or Configuration.XQUERY

  Returns:
    the platform to be used

### getURIResolver

    public URIResolver getURIResolver()

  Get the URIResolver used in this configuration

  Since:
    8.4

### setURIResolver

    public void setURIResolver(URIResolver resolver)

  Set the URIResolver to be used in this configuration. This will be used to resolve the URIs used statically (e.g. by xsl:include) and also the URIs used dynamically by functions such as document() and doc(). Note that the URIResolver does not resolve the URI in the sense of RFC 2396 (which is also the sense in which the resolve-uri() function uses the term): rather it dereferences an absolute URI to obtain an actual resource, which is returned as a Source object.

  Parameters:
    `resolver` - The URIResolver to be used.
  Since:
    8.4

### getSystemURIResolver

    public StandardURIResolver getSystemURIResolver()

  Get the system-defined URI Resolver. This is used when the user-defined URI resolver returns null as the result of the resolve() method

                                throws TransformerException

  Create an instance of a URIResolver with a specified class name. Note that this method does not register the URIResolver with this Configuration.

  Parameters:
    `className` - The fully-qualified name of the URIResolver class

  Set the FunctionLibrary used to bind calls on extension functions. This allows the rules for identifying extension functions to be customized (in principle, it would allow support for extension functions in other languages to be provided).

  When an application supplies its own FunctionLibrary for binding extension functions, this replaces the default binding mechanism for Java extension functions, namely `JavaExtensionLibrary`. It thus disables the function libraries for built-in Saxon extensions and for EXSLT extensions. It is possible to create a function library that adds to the existing mechanisms, rather than replacing them, by supplying as the FunctionLibrary a `FunctionLibraryList` that itself contains two FunctionLibrary objects: a JavaExtensionLibrary, and a user-written FunctionLibrary.

  Parameters:
    `binder` - The FunctionLibrary object used to locate implementations of extension functions, based on their name and arity
  See Also:
    `setExtensionFunctionFactory(java.lang.String, net.sf.saxon.functions.ExtensionFunctionFactory)`

### getExtensionBinder

    public FunctionLibrary getExtensionBinder()

  Get the FunctionLibrary used to bind calls on extension functions.

  This mechanism is for advanced users only, and the details are subject to change.

  Returns:
    the registered FunctionLibrary for extension functions if one has been registered; or the default FunctionLibrary for extension functions otherwise

### getVendorFunctionLibrary

    public VendorFunctionLibrary getVendorFunctionLibrary()

  Get the FunctionLibrary used to bind calls on Saxon-defined extension functions.

  This method is intended for internal use only.

### setCollationURIResolver

    public void setCollationURIResolver(CollationURIResolver resolver)

  Set a CollationURIResolver to be used to resolve collation URIs (that is, to take a URI identifying a collation, and return the corresponding collation). Note that Saxon attempts first to resolve a collation URI using the resolver registered with the Controller; if that returns null, it tries again using the resolver registered with the Configuration.

  Note that it is undefined whether collation URIs are resolved at compile time or at run-time. It is therefore inadvisable to change the CollationURIResolver after compiling a query or stylesheet and before running it.

  Parameters:
    `resolver` - the collation URI resolver to be used. This replaces any collation URI resolver previously registered.
  Since:
    8.5

### getCollationURIResolver

    public CollationURIResolver getCollationURIResolver()

  Get the collation URI resolver associated with this configuration. This will return the CollationURIResolver previously set using the `setCollationURIResolver(net.sf.saxon.sort.CollationURIResolver)` method; if this has not been called, it returns the system-defined collation URI resolver

  Returns:
    the registered CollationURIResolver
  Since:
    8.5

### setCollectionURIResolver

    public void setCollectionURIResolver(CollectionURIResolver resolver)

  Set a CollectionURIResolver to be used to resolve collection URIs (that is, the URI supplied in a call to the collection() function).

  Collection URIs are always resolved at run-time, using the CollectionURIResolver in force at the time the collection() function is called.

  Parameters:
    `resolver` - the collection URI resolver to be used. This replaces any collection URI resolver previously registered.
  Since:
    8.5

### getCollectionURIResolver

    public CollectionURIResolver getCollectionURIResolver()

  Get the collection URI resolver associated with this configuration. This will return the CollectionURIResolver previously set using the `setCollectionURIResolver(net.sf.saxon.CollectionURIResolver)` method; if this has not been called, it returns the system-defined collection URI resolver

  Returns:
    the registered CollationURIResolver
  Since:
    8.5

### setModuleURIResolver

    public void setModuleURIResolver(ModuleURIResolver resolver)

  Set a user-defined ModuleURIResolver for resolving URIs used in "import module" declarations in an XQuery prolog. This acts as the default value for the ModuleURIResolver in the StaticQueryContext, and may be overridden by a more specific ModuleURIResolver nominated as part of the StaticQueryContext.

### setModuleURIResolver

    public void setModuleURIResolver(String className)
                              throws TransformerException

  Since:
    8.4

### setRecoveryPolicy

    public void setRecoveryPolicy(int recoveryPolicy)

  Determine how recoverable run-time errors are to be handled. This applies only if the standard ErrorListener is used. The recovery policy applies to errors classified in the XSLT 2.0 specification as recoverable dynamic errors, but only in those cases where Saxon provides a choice over how the error is handled: in some cases, Saxon makes the decision itself.

  Parameters:
    `recoveryPolicy` - the recovery policy to be used. The options are `RECOVER_SILENTLY`, `RECOVER_WITH_WARNINGS`, or `DO_NOT_RECOVER`.

    `validation` - The validation mode, for example Validation.STRICT or Validation.LAX
  Returns:
    The target receiver, indicating that with this configuration, no validation is performed.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

  Set a ClassLoader to be used when loading external classes. Examples of classes that are loaded include SAX parsers, localization modules for formatting numbers and dates, extension functions, external object models. In an environment such as Eclipse that uses its own ClassLoader, this ClassLoader should be nominated to ensure that any class loaded by Saxon is identical to a class of the same name loaded by the external environment.

  This method is intended for external use by advanced users, but should be regarded as experimental.

  Parameters:
    `className` - A string containing the name of the class, for example "com.microstar.sax.LarkDriver"
    `classLoader` - The ClassLoader to be used to load the class. If this is null, then the classLoader used will be the first one available of: the classLoader registered with the Configuration using `setClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader)`; the context class loader for the current thread; or failing that, the class loader invoked implicitly by a call of Class.forName() (which is the ClassLoader that was used to load the Configuration object itself).
  Returns:
    an instance of the class named, or null if it is not loadable.
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if the class cannot be loaded.

  Implement the SourceResolver interface

  Specified by:
    `resolveSource` in interface `SourceResolver`
  Parameters:
    `source` - A source object, typically the source supplied as the first argument to `Transformer.transform(javax.xml.transform.Source, javax.xml.transform.Result)` or similar methods.
    `config` - The Configuration. This provides the SourceResolver with access to configuration information; it also allows the SourceResolver to invoke the resolveSource() method on the Configuration object as a fallback implementation.
  Returns:
    a source object that Saxon knows how to process. This must be an instance of one of the classes StreamSource, SAXSource, DOMSource, `AugmentedSource`, `NodeInfo`, or `PullSource`. Return null if the Source object is not recognized

The Source object must be one of the kinds of source recognized by Saxon, or a source that can be resolved using the registered SourceResolver

  Parameters:
    `source` - the Source to be used. This may be an `AugmentedSource`, allowing options to be specified for the way in which this document will be built.
  Returns:
    the document node of the constructed document
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any errors occur during document parsing or validation. Detailed errors occurring during schema validation will be written to the ErrorListener associated with the AugmentedSource, if supplied, or with the Configuration otherwise.
