Method Detail
newInstance
public static XMLInputFactory newInstance() throws FactoryConfigurationError
Creates a new instance of the factory in exactly the same manner as thenewFactory()
method.- Throws:
-
FactoryConfigurationError
- if an instance of this factory cannot be loaded
newFactory
public static XMLInputFactory newFactory() throws FactoryConfigurationError
Create a new instance of the factory.This static method creates a new factory instance. This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine the XMLInputFactory implementation class to load:
- Use the javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory system property.
- Use the properties file "lib/stax.properties" in the JRE directory. This configuration file is in standard java.util.Properties format and contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above.
- Use the service-provider loading facilities, defined by the
ServiceLoader
class, to attempt to locate and load an implementation of the service using the default loading mechanism: the service-provider loading facility will use the current thread's context class loader to attempt to load the service. If the context class loader is null, the system class loader will be used. - Otherwise, the system-default implementation is returned.
Once an application has obtained a reference to a XMLInputFactory it can use the factory to configure and obtain stream instances.
Note that this is a new method that replaces the deprecated newInstance() method. No changes in behavior are defined by this replacement method relative to the deprecated method.
- Throws:
-
FactoryConfigurationError
- in case of service configuration error or if the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.
newInstance
public static XMLInputFactory newInstance(String factoryId, ClassLoader classLoader) throws FactoryConfigurationError
Deprecated. This method has been deprecated to maintain API consistency. All newInstance methods have been replaced with corresponding newFactory methods. The replacementnewFactory(java.lang.String, java.lang.ClassLoader)
method defines no changes in behavior.Create a new instance of the factory- Parameters:
-
factoryId
- Name of the factory to find, same as a property name -
classLoader
- classLoader to use - Returns:
- the factory implementation
- Throws:
-
FactoryConfigurationError
- if an instance of this factory cannot be loaded
newFactory
public static XMLInputFactory newFactory(String factoryId, ClassLoader classLoader) throws FactoryConfigurationError
Create a new instance of the factory. If the classLoader argument is null, then the ContextClassLoader is used.This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine the XMLInputFactory implementation class to load:
- Use the value of the system property identified by
factoryId
. - Use the properties file "lib/stax.properties" in the JRE directory. This configuration file is in standard java.util.Properties format and contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the given
factoryId
. - If
factoryId
is "javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory", use the service-provider loading facilities, defined by theServiceLoader
class, to attempt to locate and load an implementation of the service using the specifiedClassLoader
. IfclassLoader
is null, the default loading mechanism will apply: That is, the service-provider loading facility will use the current thread's context class loader to attempt to load the service. If the context class loader is null, the system class loader will be used. - Otherwise, throws a
FactoryConfigurationError
.
Note that this is a new method that replaces the deprecated
newInstance(String factoryId, ClassLoader classLoader)
method. No changes in behavior are defined by this replacement method relative to the deprecated method.- API Note:
- The parameter factoryId defined here is inconsistent with that of other JAXP factories where the first parameter is fully qualified factory class name that provides implementation of the factory.
- Parameters:
-
factoryId
- Name of the factory to find, same as a property name -
classLoader
- classLoader to use - Returns:
- the factory implementation
- Throws:
-
FactoryConfigurationError
- in case of service configuration error or if the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated. -
FactoryConfigurationError
- if an instance of this factory cannot be loaded
- Use the value of the system property identified by
