Class DOMOutputter


  • public class DOMOutputter
    extends Object
    Outputs a JDOM org.jdom.Document as a DOM org.w3c.dom.Document. Also provides methods to output other types of JDOM Content in the equivalent DOM nodes.

    There are two versions of most functions, one that creates an independent DOM node using the DOMAdapter to create a new org.w3c.dom.Document. The other version creates the new DOM Nodes using the supplied org.w3c.dom.Document instance.

    • Constructor Detail

      • DOMOutputter

        public DOMOutputter()
        This creates a new DOMOutputter which will attempt to first locate a DOM implementation to use via JAXP, and if JAXP does not exist or there's a problem, will fall back to the default parser.
      • DOMOutputter

        public DOMOutputter​(DOMOutputProcessor processor)
        This creates a new DOMOutputter which uses the defalt (JAXP) DOM implementation but with a custom processor.
        Parameters:
        processor - the custom processor to use.

                            DOMOutputProcessor processor)
        The complete constructor for specifying a custom DOMAdaptor, Format, and DOMOutputProcessor.
        Parameters:
        adapter - The adapter to use to create the base Document instance (null implies the default).
        format - The output Format to use (null implies the default).

        @Deprecated
        public DOMOutputter​(String adapterClass)
        Deprecated.
        This creates a new DOMOutputter using the specified DOMAdapter implementation as a way to choose the underlying parser.
        Parameters:
        adapterClass - String name of class to use for DOM output
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the adapter could not be instantiated. (it should be JDOMException, but that would require a change to this deprecated method's signature...
      • DOMOutputter

        public DOMOutputter​(DOMAdapter adapter)
        This creates a new DOMOutputter using the specified DOMAdapter implementation as a way to choose the underlying parser.

        If the specified adapter is not thread-safe then the user should ensure that the adapter instance is never shared between multiple DOMOutputters. The default DOMAdapter JAXPDOMAdapter is thread-safe.

        Parameters:
        adapter - the DOMAdapter instance to use for creating the base org.w3c.dom.Document Specify the null value to get the default adapter.

        public Document output​(Document document)
                        throws JDOMException
        This converts the JDOM Document parameter to a DOM Document, returning the DOM version. The DOM implementation is the one supplied by the current DOMAdapter.

        This converts the JDOM DocType parameter to a DOM DocumentType, returning the DOM version. The DOM implementation is the one supplied by the current DOMAdapter.

        Unlike the other DOM Nodes, you cannot use a DOM Document to simply create a DOM DocumentType Node, it has to be created at the same time as the DOM Document instance. As a result, there is no version of this method that takes a DOM Document instance.
