    public class Configuration

extends Object
implements Serializable, SourceResolver, NotationSet

This class holds details of user-selected configuration options for a set of transformations and/or queries. When running XSLT, the preferred way of setting configuration options is via the JAXP TransformerFactory interface, but the Configuration object provides a finer level of control. As yet there is no standard API for XQuery, so the only way of setting Configuration information is to use the methods on this class directly.

As well as holding configuration settings, this class acts as a factory for classes providing service in particular areas: error handling, URI resolution, and the like. Some of these services are chosen on the basis of the current platform (Java or .NET), some vary depending whether the environment is schema-aware or not.

The `Configuration` provides access to a `NamePool` which is used to manage all the names used in stylesheets, queries, schemas, and source and documents: the NamePool allocates integer codes to these names allowing efficient storage and comparison. Normally there will be a one-to-one relationship between a `NamePool` and a `Configuration`. It is possible, however, for several `Configuration` objects to share the same `NamePool`. Until Saxon 8.9, by default all `Configuration` objects shared a single `NamePool` unless configured otherwise; this changed in 8.9 so that the default is to allocate a new `NamePool` for each `Configuration`.

The `Configuration` establishes the scope within which node identity is managed. Every document belongs to a `Configuration`, and every node has a distinct identity within that `Configuration`. In consequence, it is not possible for any query or transformation to manipulate multiple documents unless they all belong to the same `Configuration`.

Saxon-EE has a subclass of the `Configuration` class which provides the additional services needed for schema-aware processing. The `EnterpriseConfiguration` also holds a cache of loaded schema components used for compiling schema-aware transformations and queries, and for validating instance documents.

Since Saxon 8.4, the JavaDoc documentation for Saxon attempts to identify interfaces that are considered stable, and will only be changed in a backwards-incompatible way if there is an overriding reason to do so. These interfaces and methods are labelled with the JavaDoc "since" tag. The value 8.n indicates a method in this category that was introduced in Saxon version 8.n: or in the case of 8.4, that was present in Saxon 8.4 and possibly in earlier releases. (In some cases, these methods have been unchanged for a long time.) Methods without a "since" tag, although public, are provided for internal use or for use by advanced users, and are subject to change from one release to the next. The presence of a "since" tag on a class or interface indicates that there are one or more methods in the class that are considered stable; it does not mean that all methods are stable.

### getProcessor

    public Object getProcessor()

  Get the Processor object that created this Configuration in the relevant API.

  The main purpose of this interface is to allow extension functions called from a stylesheet or query to get access to the originating processor. This is particularly useful when methods are static as there is then limited scope for passing data from the calling application to the code of the extension function.

  Returns:
    the processor that was supplied to the `setProcessor(Object)` method, or null if this method has not been called. In practice this property is used to hold one of the following:
    - When using the Java s9api interface, the `net.sf.saxon.s9api.Processor`
    - When using the .NET interface, the `Saxon.Api.Processor`
    - When using the JAXP transformation interface, the JAXP `TransformerFactory`
    - When using the JAXP XPath interface, the JAXP `XPathFactory`
    - When using the JAXP Schema interface, the JAXP `SchemaFactory`

### isTiming

    public boolean isTiming()

  Determine whether brief progress messages and timing information will be output to System.err.

  This method is provided largely for internal use. Progress messages are normally controlled directly from the command line interfaces, and are not normally used when driving Saxon from the Java API.

  Returns:
    true if these messages are to be output.

### setTiming

    public void setTiming(boolean timing)

  Determine whether brief progress messages and timing information will be output to System.err.

  This method is provided largely for internal use. Progress messages are normally controlled directly from the command line interfaces, and are not normally used when

  Parameters:

### isVersionWarning

    public boolean isVersionWarning()

  Determine whether a warning is to be output when running against a stylesheet labelled as version="1.0". The XSLT specification requires such a warning unless the user disables it.

  Returns:
    true if these messages are to be output.
  Since:
    8.4

### setVersionWarning

    public void setVersionWarning(boolean warn)

  Determine whether a warning is to be output when the version attribute of the stylesheet does not match the XSLT processor version. (In the case where the stylesheet version is "1.0", the XSLT specification requires such a warning unless the user disables it.)

  Parameters:
    `warn` - true if these warning messages are to be output.
  Since:
    8.4

### isAllowExternalFunctions

    public boolean isAllowExternalFunctions()

  Determine whether calls to external Java functions are permitted.

  Returns:
    true if such calls are permitted.
  Since:
    8.4

### setAllowExternalFunctions

    public void setAllowExternalFunctions(boolean allowExternalFunctions)

  Determine whether calls to external Java functions are permitted. Allowing external function calls is potentially a security risk if the stylesheet or Query is untrusted, as it allows arbitrary Java methods to be invoked, which can examine or modify the contents of filestore and other resources on the machine where the query/stylesheet is executed.

  Setting the value to false disallows all of the following:

  - Calls to Java extension functions
  - Use of the XSLT system-property() function to access Java system properties
  - Use of a relative URI in the `xsl:result-document` instruction
  - Calls to XSLT extension instructions

  Note that this option does not disable use of the `doc()` function or similar functions to access the filestore of the machine where the transformation or query is running. That should be done using a user-supplied `URIResolver`

  Parameters:
    `allowExternalFunctions` - true if external function calls are to be permitted.
  Since:
    8.4

### isTraceExternalFunctions

    public boolean isTraceExternalFunctions()

  Determine whether calls on external functions are to be traced for diagnostic purposes.

  Returns:
    true if tracing is enabled for calls to external Java functions

                                    throws TransformerFactoryConfigurationError

  Deprecated. since 9.2 This feature was dropped from the final XDM specification and will be dropped in a future Saxon release. The facility is supported only in Saxon-EE. Use an XSD schema to define the attribute types instead.

  Say whether attribute types obtained from a DTD are to be used to set type annotations on the resulting nodes.

  Parameters:
    `useTypes` - set to true if DTD types are to be taken into account
  Throws:
    `TransformerFactoryConfigurationError`
  Since:
    8.4

### isRetainDTDAttributeTypes

    public boolean isRetainDTDAttributeTypes()

  Ask whether attribute types obtained from a DTD are to be used to set type annotations on the resulting nodes

  Parameters:
    `map` - the path map used to control document projection
  Returns:
    a push filter that implements document projection
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedOperationException` - if this is not a schema-aware configuration, or if no Saxon-EE license is available

### getSchemaValidationMode

    public int getSchemaValidationMode()

  Ask whether source documents (supplied as a StreamSource or SAXSource) should be subjected to schema validation, and if so, in what validation mode

  Returns:
    the schema validation mode previously set using setSchemaValidationMode(), or the default mode `Validation.STRIP` otherwise.

### setSchemaValidationMode

    public void setSchemaValidationMode(int validationMode)

  Say whether source documents (supplied as a StreamSource or SAXSource) should be subjected to schema validation, and if so, in what validation mode. This value may be overridden at the level of a Controller for an individual transformation or query.

  Parameters:
    `validationMode` - the validation (or construction) mode to be used for source documents. One of `Validation.STRIP`, `Validation.PRESERVE`, `Validation.STRICT`, `Validation.LAX`
  Since:
    8.4

### setValidationWarnings

    public void setValidationWarnings(boolean warn)

  Returns:
    true if validation errors are to be treated as warnings (that is, the validation failure is reported but processing continues as normal); false if validation errors are fatal.
  Since:
    8.4

### setExpandAttributeDefaults

    public void setExpandAttributeDefaults(boolean expand)

  Indicate whether attributes that have a fixed or default value are to be expanded when generating a final result tree. By default (and for conformance with the W3C specifications) it is required that fixed and default values should be expanded. However, there are use cases for example when generating XHTML when this serves no useful purpose and merely bloats the output.

  This option can be overridden at the level of a PipelineConfiguration

  Parameters:
    `expand` - true if fixed and default values are to be expanded as required by the W3C specifications; false if this action is to be disabled. Note that this only affects the validation of final result trees; it is not possible to suppress expansion of fixed or default values on input documents, as this would make the type annotations on input nodes unsound.
  Since:
    9.0

### isExpandAttributeDefaults

    public boolean isExpandAttributeDefaults()

  Determine whether elements and attributes that have a fixed or default value are to be expanded. This option applies both to DTD-defined attribute defaults and to schema-defined defaults for elements and attributes. If an XML parser is used that does not report whether defaults have been used, this option is ignored.

  *

  This option can be overridden at the level of a PipelineConfiguration

  Returns:
    true if elements and attributes that have a fixed or default value are to be expanded, false if defaults are not to be expanded. The default value is true. Note that the setting "false" is potentially non-conformant with the W3C specifications.
  Since:
    9.0

### getNamePool

    public NamePool getNamePool()

  Get the target namepool to be used for stylesheets/queries and for source documents.

  Returns:
    the target name pool. If no NamePool has been specified explicitly, the default NamePool is returned.
  Since:
    8.4

### setNamePool

    public void setNamePool(NamePool targetNamePool)

  Set the NamePool to be used for stylesheets/queries and for source documents.

  Using this method allows several Configurations to share the same NamePool. This was the normal default arrangement until Saxon 8.9, which changed the default so that each Configuration uses its own NamePool.

  Sharing a NamePool creates a potential bottleneck, since changes to the namepool are synchronized.

  Parameters:
    `targetNamePool` - The NamePool to be used.
  Since:
    8.4

### getTypeHierarchy

    public final TypeHierarchy getTypeHierarchy()

  Get the TypeHierarchy: a cache holding type information

  Returns:
    the type hierarchy cache

### getDocumentNumberAllocator

    public DocumentNumberAllocator getDocumentNumberAllocator()

  Get the document number allocator.

  The document number allocator is used to allocate a unique number to each document built under this configuration. The document number forms the basis of all tests for node identity; it is therefore essential that when two documents are accessed in the same XPath expression, they have distinct document numbers. Normally this is ensured by building them under the same Configuration. Using this method together with `setDocumentNumberAllocator(net.sf.saxon.tree.util.DocumentNumberAllocator)`, however, it is possible to have two different Configurations that share a single DocumentNumberAllocator

  Returns:
    the current DocumentNumberAllocator
  Since:
    9.0

### setDocumentNumberAllocator

    public void setDocumentNumberAllocator(DocumentNumberAllocator allocator)

  Set the document number allocator.

  The document number allocator is used to allocate a unique number to each document built under this configuration. The document number forms the basis of all tests for node identity; it is therefore essential that when two documents are accessed in the same XPath expression, they have distinct document numbers. Normally this is ensured by building them under the same Configuration. Using this method together with `getDocumentNumberAllocator()`, however, it is possible to have two different Configurations that share a single DocumentNumberAllocator

  This method is for advanced applications only. Misuse of the method can cause problems with node identity. The method should not be used except while initializing a Configuration, and it should be used only to arrange for two different configurations to share the same DocumentNumberAllocators. In this case they should also share the same NamePool.

  Parameters:
    `allocator` - the DocumentNumberAllocator to be used
  Since:
    9.0

### isCompatible

    public boolean isCompatible(Configuration other)

  Determine whether two Configurations are compatible. When queries, transformations, and path expressions are run, all the Configurations used to build the documents and to compile the queries and stylesheets must be compatible. Two Configurations are compatible if they share the same NamePool and the same DocumentNumberAllocator.

  Parameters:
    `other` - the other Configuration to be compared with this one
  Returns:
    true if the two configurations are compatible

### getGlobalDocumentPool

    public DocumentPool getGlobalDocumentPool()

  Get the global document pool. This is used for documents preloaded during query or stylesheet compilation. The user application can preload documents into the global pool, where they will be found if any query or stylesheet requests the specified document using the doc() or document() function.

  Returns:
    the global document pool
  Since:
    9.1

### isStripsAllWhiteSpace

    public boolean isStripsAllWhiteSpace()

  Set which kinds of whitespace-only text node should be stripped.

  Parameters:
    `kind` - the kind of whitespace-only text node that should be stripped when building a source tree. One of `Whitespace.NONE` (none), `Whitespace.ALL` (all), or `Whitespace.IGNORABLE` (element-content whitespace as defined in a DTD or schema)

### getStripsWhiteSpace

    public int getStripsWhiteSpace()

  Set which kinds of whitespace-only text node should be stripped.

  Returns:
    kind the kind of whitespace-only text node that should be stripped when building a source tree. One of `Whitespace.NONE` (none), `Whitespace.ALL` (all), or `Whitespace.IGNORABLE` (element-content whitespace as defined in a DTD or schema)

### getSourceParser

    public XMLReader getSourceParser()
                              throws TransformerFactoryConfigurationError

    `TransformerFactoryConfigurationError`

### reuseSourceParser

    public void reuseSourceParser(XMLReader parser)

  Returns:
    If the Source is a DOMSource and the underlying node is a wrapper around a Saxon NodeInfo, returns the wrapped Saxon NodeInfo. If the Source is a DOMSource and the undelying node is not such a wrapper, returns a new Saxon NodeInfo that wraps the DOM Node. If the Source is any other kind of source, it is offered to each registered external object model for similar treatment. The result is the NodeInfo object obtained by wrapping or unwrapping the supplied external node.

  Resolve a Source.

  Specified by:
    `resolveSource` in interface `SourceResolver`
  Parameters:
    `source` - A source object, typically the source supplied as the first argument to `Transformer.transform(javax.xml.transform.Source, javax.xml.transform.Result)` or similar methods.
    `config` - The Configuration. This provides the SourceResolver with access to configuration information; it also allows the SourceResolver to invoke the resolveSource() method on the Configuration object as a fallback implementation.
  Returns:
    a source object that Saxon knows how to process. This must be an instance of one of the classes StreamSource, SAXSource, DOMSource, `AugmentedSource`, `NodeInfo`, or `PullSource`. Return null if the Source object is not recognized

                               throws XPathException

  Build a document tree, using options set on this Configuration and on the supplied source object. Options set on the source object override options set in the Configuration. The Source object must be one of the kinds of source recognized by Saxon, or a source that can be resolved using the registered `SourceResolver`.

  Parameters:
    `source` - the Source to be used. This may be an `AugmentedSource`, allowing options to be specified for the way in which this document will be built. If an AugmentedSource is supplied then options set in the AugmentedSource take precendence over options set in the Configuration.

    From Saxon 9.2, this method always creates a new tree, it never wraps or returns an existing tree.

  Returns:
    the document node of the constructed document
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any errors occur during document parsing or validation. Detailed errors occurring during schema validation will be written to the ErrorListener associated with the AugmentedSource, if supplied, or with the Configuration otherwise.
  Since:
    8.9. Modified in 9.0 to avoid copying a supplied document where this is not necessary. Modified in 9.2 so that this interface always constructs a new tree; it never wraps an existing document, even if an AugmentedSource that requests wrapping is supplied.

### buildDocument

    public DocumentInfo buildDocument(Source source,
                                      ParseOptions parseOptions)
                               throws XPathException

  Build a document, using specified options for parsing and building. This method always constructs a new tree, it never wraps an existing document (regardless of anything in the parseOptions)

  Parameters:
    `source` - the source of the document to be constructed. If this is an AugmentedSource, then any parser options contained in the AugmentedSource take precedence over options specified in the parseOptions argument.
    `parseOptions` - options for parsing and constructing the document. Any options that are not explicitly set in parseOptions default first to the values supplied in the source argument if it is an AugmentedSource, and then to the values set in this Configuration. The supplied parseOptions object is not modified.
  Returns:
    the document node of the constructed document
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if parsing fails, or if the Source represents a node other than a document node
  Since:
    9.2

### makeEmitter

  Load a named output emitter or SAX2 ContentHandler and check it is OK.

  Parameters:
    `clarkName` - the QName of the user-supplied ContentHandler (requested as a prefixed value of the method attribute in xsl:output, or anywhere that serialization parameters are allowed), encoded in Clark format as {uri}local
    `props` - the properties to be used in the case of a dynamically-loaded ContentHandler.
