Constructor Detail

### EventSource

    public EventSource()

Method Detail

### setSystemId

    public void setSystemId(String systemId)

  Set the system identifier for this Source.

  The system identifier is optional if the source does not get its data from a URL, but it may still be useful to provide one. The application can use a system identifier, for example, to resolve relative URIs and to include in error messages and warnings.

  Specified by:
    `setSystemId` in interface `Source`
  Parameters:
    `systemId` - The system identifier as a URL string.

### getSystemId

    public String getSystemId()

  Get the system identifier that was set with setSystemId.

  Specified by:
    `getSystemId` in interface `Source`
  Returns:
    The system identifier that was set with setSystemId, or null if setSystemId was not called.

### send

    public abstract void send(Receiver out)
                       throws XPathException

  Supply events to a Receiver.

  Parameters:
    `out` - the Receiver to which events will be sent. It is the caller's responsibility to initialize the receiver with a PipelineConfiguration, and to call the open() and close() methods on the receiver before and after calling this send() method.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
