getParserFactory

public static javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory getParserFactory()
                                                           throws BuildException
Returns the parser factory to use. Only one parser factory is ever created by this method and is then cached for future use.

Returns:
a SAXParserFactory to use.
Throws:
BuildException - on error.
Since:
Ant 1.5

getNSParserFactory

public static javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory getNSParserFactory()
                                                             throws BuildException
Returns the parser factory to use to create namespace aware parsers.

Returns:
a SAXParserFactory to use which supports manufacture of namespace aware parsers.
Throws:
BuildException - on error.
Since:
Ant 1.6

newParserFactory

public static javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory newParserFactory()
                                                           throws BuildException
Returns a new parser factory instance.

Returns:
the parser factory.
Throws:
BuildException - on error.
Since:
Ant 1.5

getParser

public static org.xml.sax.Parser getParser()
                                    throws BuildException
Returns a newly created SAX 1 Parser, using the default parser factory.

Returns:
a SAX 1 Parser.
Throws:
BuildException - on error.
Since:
Ant 1.5

getXMLReader

public static org.xml.sax.XMLReader getXMLReader()
                                          throws BuildException
Returns a newly created SAX 2 XMLReader, using the default parser factory.

Returns:
a SAX 2 XMLReader.

getNamespaceXMLReader

public static org.xml.sax.XMLReader getNamespaceXMLReader()
                                                   throws BuildException
Returns a newly created SAX 2 XMLReader, which is namespace aware

Returns:
a SAX 2 XMLReader.
Throws:
BuildException - on error.
Since:
Ant 1.6

getParserFactory()

getSystemId

public static java.lang.String getSystemId(java.io.File file)
This is a best attempt to provide a URL.toExternalForm() from a file URL. Some parsers like Crimson choke on uri that are made of backslashed paths (ie windows) as it is does not conform URI specifications.

Parameters:
file - the file to create the system id from.
Returns:
the systemid corresponding to the given file.
Since:
Ant 1.5.2

getDocumentBuilder

public static javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder getDocumentBuilder()

Returns a newly created DocumentBuilder.

Returns:
a DocumentBuilder.
Throws:
