public class ParserFactory

extends java.lang.Object

Java-specific class for dynamically loading SAX parsers.

This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY. See http://www.saxproject.org for further information.

Note: This class is designed to work with the now-deprecated SAX1 Parser class. SAX2 applications should use XMLReaderFactory instead.

ParserFactory is not part of the platform-independent definition of SAX; it is an additional convenience class designed specifically for Java XML application writers. SAX applications can use the static methods in this class to allocate a SAX parser dynamically at run-time based either on the value of the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property or on a string containing the class name.

Note that the application still requires an XML parser that implements SAX1.

Since:

SAX 1.0

2.0.1 (sax2r2)

makeParser

public static Parser makeParser()
 throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException,
 java.lang.IllegalAccessException,
 java.lang.InstantiationException,
 java.lang.NullPointerException,
 java.lang.ClassCastException

Deprecated.

Create a new SAX parser using the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property.

The named class must exist and must implement the Parser interface.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - There is no value for the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - The SAX parser class was not found (check your CLASSPATH).

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - The SAX parser class was found, but you do not have permission to load it.

java.lang.InstantiationException - The SAX parser class was found but could not be instantiated.

java.lang.ClassCastException - The SAX parser class was found and instantiated, but does not implement org.xml.sax.Parser.

Deprecated.

Create a new SAX parser object using the class name provided.

The named class must exist and must implement the Parser interface.

Parameters:

className - A string containing the name of the SAX parser class.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - The SAX parser class was not found (check your CLASSPATH).

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - The SAX parser class was found, but you do not have permission to load it.

java.lang.InstantiationException - The SAX parser class was found but could not be instantiated.

java.lang.ClassCastException - The SAX parser class was found and instantiated, but does not implement org.xml.sax.Parser.
