Class XsltExecutable


public class XsltExecutable
extends java.lang.Object

An XsltExecutable represents the compiled form of a stylesheet. To execute the stylesheet, it must first be loaded to form an XsltTransformer.

An XsltExecutable is immutable, and therefore thread-safe. It is simplest to load a new XsltTransformer each time the stylesheet is to be run. However, the XsltTransformer is serially reusable within a single thread.

An XsltExecutable is created by using one of the compile methods on the XsltCompiler class.

Constructor Summary

XsltExecutable(Processor processor, PreparedStylesheet pss)

Method Summary

PreparedStylesheet
getUnderlyingCompiledStylesheet()
Get the underlying implementation object representing the compiled stylesheet.
XsltTransformer
load()
Load the stylesheet to prepare it for execution.

Constructor Details

XsltExecutable

protected XsltExecutable(Processor processor,
                         PreparedStylesheet pss)

Method Details

getUnderlyingCompiledStylesheet

public PreparedStylesheet getUnderlyingCompiledStylesheet()
Get the underlying implementation object representing the compiled stylesheet. This provides an escape hatch into lower-level APIs. The object returned by this method may change from release to release.
Returns:
the underlying implementation of the compiled stylesheet

load

public XsltTransformer load()
Load the stylesheet to prepare it for execution.
Returns:
An XsltTransformer. The returned XsltTransformer can be used to set up the dynamic context for stylesheet evaluation, and to run the stylesheet.
