    static final String

    • PI_DISABLE_OUTPUT_ESCAPING

      static final String PI_DISABLE_OUTPUT_ESCAPING
      The name of the processing instruction that is sent if the result tree disables output escaping.

      Normally, result tree serialization escapes& and < (and possibly other characters) when outputting text nodes. This ensures that the output is well-formed XML. However, it is sometimes convenient to be able to produce output that is almost, but not quite well-formed XML; for example, the output may include ill-formed sections that will be transformed into well-formed XML by a subsequent non-XML aware process. If a processing instruction is sent with this name, serialization should be output without any escaping.

      Result DOM trees may also have PI_DISABLE_OUTPUT_ESCAPING and PI_ENABLE_OUTPUT_ESCAPING inserted into the tree.

    • PI_ENABLE_OUTPUT_ESCAPING

      static final String PI_ENABLE_OUTPUT_ESCAPING
      The name of the processing instruction that is sent if the result tree enables output escaping at some point after having received a PI_DISABLE_OUTPUT_ESCAPING processing instruction.

  • Method Details

    • setSystemId

      void setSystemId(String systemId)
      Set the system identifier for this Result.

      If the Result is not to be written to a file, the system identifier is optional. The application may still want to provide one, however, for use in error messages and warnings, or to resolve relative output identifiers.

      Parameters:
      systemId - The system identifier as a URI string.
    • getSystemId

      String getSystemId()
      Get the system identifier that was set with setSystemId.
      Returns:
      The system identifier that was set with setSystemId, or null if setSystemId was not called.
