Description

Class Summary

ProcessorCharacters	This class processes character events for a XSLT template element.
ProcessorExsltFuncResult	**For internal use only** This class processes parse events for an exslt func:result element.
ProcessorExsltFunction	**For internal use only** This class processes parse events for an exslt func:function element.
ProcessorLRE	**For internal use only** Processes an XSLT literal-result-element, or something that looks like one.
ProcessorStylesheetDoc	**For internal use only** This class processes the xsl:stylesheet element.
ProcessorTemplateElem	This class processes parse events for an XSLT template element.
ProcessorText	Process xsl:text.
ProcessorUnknown	**For internal use only** This class processes an unknown template element, and ignores the startElement and endElement events.
StylesheetHandler	**For advanced use only** Initializes and processes a stylesheet via SAX events.
StylesheetPIHandler	Search for the xml-stylesheet processing instructions in an XML document.
TransformerFactoryImpl	The TransformerFactoryImpl, which implements the TRaX TransformerFactory interface, processes XSLT stylesheets into a Templates object (a StylesheetRoot).
WhitespaceInfoPaths
XSLProcessorVersion	Deprecated. To be replaced by org.apache.xalan.Version.getVersion()
XSLTAttributeDef	This class defines an attribute for an element in a XSLT stylesheet, is meant to reflect the structure defined in http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#dtd, and the mapping between Xalan classes and the markup attributes in the element.
XSLTElementDef	This class defines the allowed structure for an element in a XSLT stylesheet, is meant to reflect the structure defined in http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#dtd, and the mapping between Xalan classes and the markup elements in the XSLT instance.
XSLTElementProcessor	This class acts as the superclass for all stylesheet element processors, and deals with things that are common to all elements.
XSLTSchema	This class defines the allowed structure for a stylesheet, and the mapping between Xalan classes and the markup elements in the stylesheet.

Exception Summary

StopParseException

**For internal use only** This is a special exception that is used to stop parsing when search for an element.

Package org.apache.xalan.processor Description

Parses an XSLT stylesheet document (which may include and import other stylesheet documents) and produces a StylesheetRoot (a TRaX Templates object).

StylesheetProcessor implements the TRaX TransformerFactory interface, as well as the SAXTransformerFactory interface. It registers the StylesheetHandler object (a TrAX TemplatesHandler implementation) as the SAX ContentHandler for an XMLReader, and uses the XMLReader to parse the stylesheet document.

Before parsing the XSLT input, StylesheetHandler assembles an XSLTSchema, which uses XSLTElementDef and XSLTAttributeDef objects to recursively define the elements and attributes that an XSLT stylesheet may contain. The StylesheetHandler then passes on each parse event to the XSLTElementProcessor which the XSLTElementDef assigned to the element associated with that event.
