Method Detail

refreshDocumentBuilderFactory

public static void refreshDocumentBuilderFactory(java.lang.String factoryClassName,
                                                 boolean namespaceAware,
                                                 boolean validating)

Causes the private DocumentBuilderFactory reference to point to a new instance of a DocumentBuilderFactory. This method only needs to be called if you want to specify a different DocumentBuilderFactory implementation then that specified prior to this class being initialized. Or, if you want to specify different configuration options.

Parameters:

factoryClassName - the fully-qualified name of a class that implemements DocumentBuilderFactory. If this argument is null, the default (platform-specific) implementation is used. Basically, if this argument is not null, the javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory system property is set (with the specified value) before the DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() method is invoked.

namespaceAware - configure the new DocumentBuilderFactory to produce namespace aware parsers (i.e. DocumentBuilders)

validating - configure the new DocumentBuilderFactory to produce validating parsers (i.e. DocumentBuilders)

getXMLDocBuilder

public static javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder getXMLDocBuilder()
                                                          throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Use this method to get a JAXP document builder. This method creates a namespace aware, nonvalidating instance of the XML parser.

Returns:

DocumentBuilder an instance of a document builder, or null if a ParserConfigurationException was thrown.
