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.

        public XsltTransformer load()
        Load the stylesheet to prepare it for execution.

      • 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
