    public class XsltView

extends AbstractUrlBasedView

XSLT-driven View that allows for response context to be rendered as the result of an XSLT transformation.

The XSLT Source object is supplied as a parameter in the model and then `detected` during response rendering. Users can either specify a specific entry in the model via the `sourceKey` property or have Spring locate the Source object. This class also provides basic conversion of objects into Source implementations. See `here` for more details.

All model parameters are passed to the XSLT Transformer as parameters. In addition the user can configure `output properties` to be passed to the Transformer.

Constructor Detail

### XsltView

    public XsltView()

Method Detail

### setTransformerFactoryClass

    public void setTransformerFactoryClass(Class transformerFactoryClass)

  Specify the XSLT TransformerFactory class to use.

  The default constructor of the specified class will be called to build the TransformerFactory for this view.

### setSourceKey

    public void setSourceKey(String sourceKey)

  Set the name of the model attribute that represents the XSLT Source. If not specified, the model map will be searched for a matching value type.

  The following source types are supported out of the box: `Source`, `Document`, `Node`, `Reader`, `InputStream` and `Resource`.

  See Also:
    `getSourceTypes()`, `convertSource(java.lang.Object)`

### setUriResolver

    public void setUriResolver(URIResolver uriResolver)

  Set the URIResolver used in the transform.

  The URIResolver handles calls to the XSLT `document()` function.

### setErrorListener

    public void setErrorListener(ErrorListener errorListener)

  Set an implementation of the `ErrorListener` interface for custom handling of transformation errors and warnings.

  If not set, a default `SimpleTransformErrorListener` is used that simply logs warnings using the logger instance of the view class, and rethrows errors to discontinue the XML transformation.

  See Also:
    `SimpleTransformErrorListener`

### setIndent

    public void setIndent(boolean indent)

  Set whether the XSLT transformer may add additional whitespace when outputting the result tree.

  Default is `true` (on); set this to `false` (off) to not specify an "indent" key, leaving the choice up to the stylesheet.

  See Also:
    `OutputKeys.INDENT`

### setOutputProperties

    public void setOutputProperties(Properties outputProperties)

  Set arbitrary transformer output properties to be applied to the stylesheet.

  Any values specified here will override defaults that this view sets programmatically.

  See Also:
    `Transformer.setOutputProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`

### setCacheTemplates

    public void setCacheTemplates(boolean cacheTemplates)

  Turn on/off the caching of the XSLT `Templates` instance.

  The default value is "true". Only set this to "false" in development, where caching does not seriously impact performance.

### initApplicationContext

    protected void initApplicationContext()
                                   throws BeansException

  Initialize this XsltView's TransformerFactory.

  Overrides:
    `initApplicationContext` in class `ApplicationObjectSupport`
  Throws:
    `ApplicationContextException` - in case of initialization errors
    `BeansException` - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods
  See Also:
    `ApplicationObjectSupport.setApplicationContext(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext)`

### newTransformerFactory

    protected TransformerFactory newTransformerFactory(Class transformerFactoryClass)

  Instantiate a new TransformerFactory for this view.

  The default implementation simply calls `TransformerFactory.newInstance()`. If a `"transformerFactoryClass"` has been specified explicitly, the default constructor of the specified class will be called instead.

  Can be overridden in subclasses.

  Parameters:
    `transformerFactoryClass` - the specified factory class (if any)
  Returns:
    the new TransactionFactory instance
  See Also:
    `setTransformerFactoryClass(java.lang.Class)`, `getTransformerFactory()`

### getTransformerFactory

    protected final TransformerFactory getTransformerFactory()

  Return the TransformerFactory that this XsltView uses.

  Returns:
    the TransformerFactory (never `null`)

### renderMergedOutputModel

    protected void renderMergedOutputModel(Map<String,Object> model,
                                           HttpServletRequest request,
                                           HttpServletResponse response)
                                    throws Exception

  Description copied from class: `AbstractView`
  Subclasses must implement this method to actually render the view.

  The first step will be preparing the request: In the JSP case, this would mean setting model objects as request attributes. The second step will be the actual rendering of the view, for example including the JSP via a RequestDispatcher.

  Specified by:
    `renderMergedOutputModel` in class `AbstractView`
  Parameters:
    `model` - combined output Map (never `null`), with dynamic values taking precedence over static attributes
    `request` - current HTTP request
    `response` - current HTTP response
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if rendering failed

### createResult

    protected Result createResult(HttpServletResponse response)
                           throws Exception

  Create the XSLT `Result` used to render the result of the transformation.

  The default implementation creates a `StreamResult` wrapping the supplied HttpServletResponse's `OutputStream`.

  Parameters:
    `response` - current HTTP response
  Returns:
    the XSLT Result to use
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if the Result cannot be built

### locateSource

    protected Source locateSource(Map<String,Object> model)
                           throws Exception

  Locate the `Source` object in the supplied model, converting objects as required. The default implementation first attempts to look under the configured `source key`, if any, before attempting to locate an object of `supported type`.

  Parameters:
    `model` - the merged model Map
  Returns:
    the XSLT Source object (or `null` if none found)
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if an error occured during locating the source
  See Also:
    `setSourceKey(java.lang.String)`, `convertSource(java.lang.Object)`

### getSourceTypes

    protected Class[] getSourceTypes()

  Return the array of `Classes` that are supported when converting to an XSLT `Source`.

  Currently supports `Source`, `Document`, `Node`, `Reader`, `InputStream` and `Resource`.

  Returns:
    the supported source types

### convertSource

    protected Source convertSource(Object source)
                            throws Exception

  Convert the supplied `Object` into an XSLT `Source` if the `Object` type is `supported`.

  Parameters:
    `source` - the original source object
  Returns:
    the adapted XSLT Source
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the given Object is not of a supported type
    `Exception`

### configureTransformer

    protected void configureTransformer(Map<String,Object> model,
                                        HttpServletResponse response,
                                        Transformer transformer)

  Configure the supplied `Transformer` instance.

  The default implementation copies parameters from the model into the Transformer's `parameter set`. This implementation also copies the `output properties` into the `Transformer` `output properties`. Indentation properties are set as well.

  Parameters:
    `model` - merged output Map (never `null`)
    `response` - current HTTP response
    `transformer` - the target transformer
  See Also:
    `copyModelParameters(Map, Transformer)`, `copyOutputProperties(Transformer)`, `configureIndentation(Transformer)`

### configureIndentation

    protected final void configureIndentation(Transformer transformer)

  Configure the indentation settings for the supplied `Transformer`.

  Parameters:
    `transformer` - the target transformer
  See Also:
    `TransformerUtils.enableIndenting(javax.xml.transform.Transformer)`, `TransformerUtils.disableIndenting(javax.xml.transform.Transformer)`

### copyOutputProperties

                                             Transformer transformer)

  Copy all entries from the supplied Map into the `parameter set` of the supplied `Transformer`.

  Parameters:
    `model` - merged output Map (never `null`)
    `transformer` - the target transformer

### configureResponse

    protected void configureResponse(Map<String,Object> model,
                                     HttpServletResponse response,
                                     Transformer transformer)

  Configure the supplied `HttpServletResponse`.

  The default implementation of this method sets the `content type` and `encoding` from the "media-type" and "encoding" output properties specified in the `Transformer`.

  Parameters:
    `model` - merged output Map (never `null`)
    `response` - current HTTP response
    `transformer` - the target transformer
