Class XMLInputFactory

java.lang.Object

javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory

public abstract class XMLInputFactory
extends Object

Defines an abstract implementation of a factory for getting streams. The following table defines the standard properties of this specification. Each property varies in the level of support required by each implementation. The level of support required is described in the 'Required' column.

Configuration Parameters

Property Name	Behavior	Return type	Default Value	Required
javax.xml.stream.isValidating	Turns on/off implementation specific DTD validation	Boolean	False	No
javax.xml.stream.isNamespaceAware	Turns on/off namespace processing for XML 1.0 support	Boolean	True	True (required) / False (optional)
javax.xml.stream.isCoalescing	Requires the processor to coalesce adjacent character data	Boolean	False	Yes
javax.xml.stream.isReplacingEntityReferences	replace internal entity references with their replacement text and report them as characters	Boolean	True	Yes
javax.xml.stream.isSupportingExternalEntities	Resolve external parsed entities	Boolean	Unspecified	Yes
javax.xml.stream.supportDTD	Use this property to request processors that do not support DTDs	Boolean	True	Yes
javax.xml.stream.reporter	sets/gets the impl of the XMLReporter	javax.xml.stream.XMLReporter	Null	Yes
javax.xml.stream.resolver	sets/gets the impl of the XMLResolver interface	javax.xml.stream.XMLResolver	Null	Yes
javax.xml.stream.allocator	sets/gets the impl of the XMLEventAllocator interface	javax.xml.stream.util.XMLEventAllocator	Null	Yes

static String	IS_SUPPORTING_EXTERNAL_ENTITIES	The property that requires the parser to resolve external parsed entities
static String	IS_VALIDATING	The property used to turn on/off implementation specific validation
static String	REPORTER	The property used to set/get the implementation of the XMLReporter interface
static String	RESOLVER	The property used to set/get the implementation of the XMLResolver
static String	SUPPORT_DTD	The property that requires the parser to support DTDs
