SAXTransformerFactory

public abstract class SAXTransformerFactory
extends TransformerFactory

java.lang.Object
↳	javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
	↳	javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory

This class extends TransformerFactory to provide SAX-specific factory methods. It provides two types of ContentHandlers, one for creating Transformers, the other for creating Templates objects.

If an application wants to set the ErrorHandler or EntityResolver for an XMLReader used during a transformation, it should use a URIResolver to return the SAXSource which provides (with getXMLReader) a reference to the XMLReader.

Summary

Constants
`String`	`FEATURE` If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the TransformerFactory returned from `TransformerFactory.newInstance()` may be safely cast to a SAXTransformerFactory.
`String`	`FEATURE_XMLFILTER` If `TransformerFactory.getFeature(String)` returns true when passed this value as an argument, the `newXMLFilter(javax.xml.transform.Source)` and `newXMLFilter(javax.xml.transform.Templates)` methods are supported.

Protected constructors
`SAXTransformerFactory()` The default constructor is protected on purpose.
