## org.jdom.transform
Class XSLTransformer

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--org.jdom.transform.XSLTransformer

public class XSLTransformer
extends java.lang.Object

A convenience class to handle simple transformations. The JAXP TrAX classes have more bells and whistles and can be used with `JDOMSource` and `JDOMResult` for advanced uses. This class handles the common case and presents a simple interface. XSLTransformer is thread safe and may be used from multiple threads.

     XSLTransformer transformer = new XSLTransformer("file.xsl");

     Document x2 = transformer.transform(x);  // x is a Document
     Document y2 = transformer.transform(y);  // y is a Document

JDOM relies on TrAX to perform the transformation. The `javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory` Java system property determines which XSLT engine TrAX uses. Its value should be the fully qualified name of the implementation of the abstract `javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory` class. Values of this property for popular XSLT processors include:

- Saxon 6.x: `com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl`
- Saxon 7.x: `net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl`
- Xalan: `org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl`
- jd.xslt: `jd.xml.xslt.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl`
- Oracle: `oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXTransformerFactory`

This property can be set in all the usual ways a Java system property can be set. TrAX picks from them in this order:

1. Invoking `System.setProperty( "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "`classname`")`
2. The value specified at the command line using the `-Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=`classname`` option to the java interpreter
3. The class named in the `lib/jaxp.properties` properties file in the JRE directory, in a line like this one:

       javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=classname

4. The class named in the `META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory` file in the JAR archives available to the runtime
5. Finally, if all of the above options fail, a default implementation is chosen. In Sun's JDK 1.4, this is Xalan 2.2d10.

Constructor Detail

### XSLTransformer

    public XSLTransformer(java.lang.String stylesheetSystemId)
                   throws XSLTransformException

  Creates a transformer for a given stylesheet system id.

Parameters:
  `stylesheetSystemId` - source stylesheet as a Source object
Throws:
  `XSLTransformException` - if there's a problem in the TrAX back-end

### XSLTransformer

    public XSLTransformer(java.io.InputStream stylesheet)
                   throws XSLTransformException

  This will create a new `XSLTransformer` by reading the stylesheet from the specified `InputStream`.

Parameters:
  `stylesheet` - `InputStream` from which the stylesheet is read.
Throws:
  `XSLTransformException` - when an IOException, format error, or something else prevents the stylesheet from being compiled

### XSLTransformer

    public XSLTransformer(java.io.Reader stylesheet)
                   throws XSLTransformException

  This will create a new `XSLTransformer` by reading the stylesheet from the specified `Reader`.

Parameters:
  `stylesheet` - `Reader` from which the stylesheet is read.
Throws:
  `XSLTransformException` - when an IOException, format error, or something else prevents the stylesheet from being compiled

### XSLTransformer

    public XSLTransformer(java.io.File stylesheet)
                   throws XSLTransformException

  This will create a new `XSLTransformer` by reading the stylesheet from the specified `File`.

Parameters:
  `stylesheet` - `File` from which the stylesheet is read.
Throws:
  `XSLTransformException` - when an IOException, format error, or something else prevents the stylesheet from being compiled

### XSLTransformer

    public XSLTransformer(Document stylesheet)
                   throws XSLTransformException

  This will create a new `XSLTransformer` by reading the stylesheet from the specified `Document`.

Parameters:
  `stylesheet` - `Document` containing the stylesheet.
Throws:
  `XSLTransformException` - when the supplied `Document` is not syntactically correct XSLT

Method Detail

### transform

    public java.util.List transform(java.util.List inputNodes)
                             throws XSLTransformException

  Transforms the given input nodes to a list of output nodes.

  Parameters:
    `inputNodes` - input nodes
  Returns:
    transformed output nodes
  Throws:
    `XSLTransformException` - if there's a problem in the transformation

### transform

    public Document transform(Document inputDoc)
                       throws XSLTransformException

  Transforms the given document to an output document.

  Parameters:
    `inputDoc` - input document
  Returns:
    transformed output document
  Throws:
    `XSLTransformException` - if there's a problem in the transformation
