Class DOMOutputter

java.lang.Object

org.jdom2.output.DOMOutputter

public class DOMOutputter
extends Object

Outputs a JDOM org.jdom2.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 Details

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.

Since:

JDOM2

DOMOutputter

public DOMOutputter(DOMAdapter adapter,
 Format format,
 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).

processor - The custom mechanism for doing the output (null implies the default).

Since:

JDOM2

DOMOutputter

@Deprecated
public DOMOutputter(String adapterClass)

Deprecated.

use DOMOutputter(DOMAdapter) instead.

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.

Since:

JDOM2

setForceNamespaceAware

@Deprecated
public void setForceNamespaceAware(boolean flag)

Deprecated.

All DOMOutputters are now always NamespaceAware.

Controls how NO_NAMESPACE nodes are handled. If true the outputter always creates a namespace aware DOM.

Parameters:

flag - true to force NamespaceAware

getForceNamespaceAware

@Deprecated
public boolean getForceNamespaceAware()

Deprecated.

All DOMOutputters are always NamesapceAware. Always true.

Returns whether DOMs will be constructed with namespaces even when the source document has elements all in the empty namespace.

Returns:

output

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.

Parameters:

document - Document to output.

Returns:
