## Class DOMSource

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Source

    public class DOMSource
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Source

Acts as a holder for a transformation Source tree in the form of a Document Object Model (DOM) tree.

Note that XSLT requires namespace support. Attempting to transform a DOM that was not contructed with a namespace-aware parser may result in errors. Parsers can be made namespace aware by calling `DocumentBuilderFactory.setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness)`.

### Field Summary

Fields
`static java.lang.String` `FEATURE` If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the Transformer supports Source input of this type.

### Constructor Summary

Constructors
Constructor and Description
`DOMSource()` Zero-argument default constructor.
`DOMSource(Node n)` Create a new input source with a DOM node.
`DOMSource(Node node, java.lang.String systemID)` Create a new input source with a DOM node, and with the system ID also passed in as the base URI.

### Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
`Node` `getNode()` Get the node that represents a Source DOM tree.
`java.lang.String` `getSystemId()` Get the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.
`void` `setNode(Node node)` Set the node that will represents a Source DOM tree.
`void` `setSystemId(java.lang.String systemID)` Set the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

### Field Detail

#### FEATURE

    public static final java.lang.String FEATURE

If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(java.lang.String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the Transformer supports Source input of this type.

  Constant Field Values

### Constructor Detail

#### DOMSource

    public DOMSource()

Zero-argument default constructor. If this constructor is used, and no DOM source is set using `setNode(Node node)` , then the `Transformer` will create an empty source `Document` using `DocumentBuilder.newDocument()`.

See Also:
  `Transformer.transform(Source xmlSource, Result outputTarget)`

#### DOMSource

    public DOMSource(Node n)

Create a new input source with a DOM node. The operation will be applied to the subtree rooted at this node. In XSLT, a "/" pattern still means the root of the tree (not the subtree), and the evaluation of global variables and parameters is done from the root node also.

Parameters:
  `n` - The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.

#### DOMSource

    public DOMSource(Node node,
                     java.lang.String systemID)

Create a new input source with a DOM node, and with the system ID also passed in as the base URI.

Parameters:
  `node` - The DOM node that will contain the Source tree.
  `systemID` - Specifies the base URI associated with node.

### Method Detail

#### setNode

    public void setNode(Node node)

Set the node that will represents a Source DOM tree.

Parameters:
  `node` - The node that is to be transformed.

#### getNode

    public Node getNode()

Get the node that represents a Source DOM tree.

Returns:
  The node that is to be transformed.

#### setSystemId

    public void setSystemId(java.lang.String systemID)

Set the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

Specified by:
  `setSystemId` in interface `Source`
Parameters:
  `systemID` - Base URL for this DOM tree.

#### getSystemId

    public java.lang.String getSystemId()

Get the base ID (URL or system ID) from where URLs will be resolved.

Specified by:
  `getSystemId` in interface `Source`
Returns:
  Base URL for this DOM tree.
