Class XdmDestination

java.lang.Object
net.sf.saxon.s9api.XdmDestination
All Implemented Interfaces:
Destination

public class XdmDestination extends Object implements Destination
An XdmDestination is a Destination in which an XdmNode is constructed to hold the output of a query or transformation: that is, a tree using Saxon's implementation of the XDM data model

No data needs to be supplied to the XdmDestination object. The query or transformation populates an XmlNode, which may then be retrieved using the getXdmNode method.

An XdmDestination can be reused to hold the results of a second transformation only if the reset() method is first called to reset its state.

  • Method Details

    • setBaseURI

      public void setBaseURI(URI baseURI)
      Set the base URI for the document node that will be created when the XdmDestination is written to. This method must be called before writing to the destination; it has no effect on an XdmNode that has already been constructed.
      Parameters:
      baseURI - the base URI for the node that will be constructed when the XdmDestination is written to. This must be an absolute URI
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the baseURI supplied is not an absolute URI
      Since:
      9.1
    • getBaseURI

      public URI getBaseURI()
      Get the base URI that will be used for the document node when the XdmDestination is written to.
      Returns:
      the base URI that will be used for the node that is constructed when the XdmDestination is written to.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the a base URI has been configured using internal interfaces, and is not a valid URI
      Since:
      9.1
    • getReceiver

      public Receiver getReceiver(Configuration config) throws SaxonApiException
      Return a Receiver. Saxon calls this method to obtain a Receiver, to which it then sends a sequence of events representing the content of an XML document.
      Specified by:
      getReceiver in interface Destination
      Parameters:
      config - The Saxon configuration. This is supplied so that the destination can use information from the configuration (for example, a reference to the name pool) to construct or configure the returned Receiver.
      Returns:
      the Receiver to which events are to be sent.
      Throws:
      SaxonApiException - if the Receiver cannot be created
    • getXdmNode

      public XdmNode getXdmNode()
      Return the node at the root of the tree, after it has been constructed.

      This method should not be called while the tree is under construction.

      Returns:
      the root node of the tree (normally a document node). Returns null if the construction of the tree has not yet started. The result is undefined if tree construction has started but is not complete.
    • reset

      public void reset()
      Allow the XdmDestination to be reused
