http://xml.apache.org/commons/components/external/: xml-commons provides an Apache-hosted set of DOM, SAX, and JAXP interfaces for use in other xml-based projects. Our hope is that we can standardize on both a common version and packaging scheme for these critical XML standards interfaces to make the lives of both our developers and users easier. The External Components portion of xml-commons contains interfaces that are defined by external standards organizations. For DOM, that's the W3C; for SAX it's David Megginson and sax.sourceforge.net; for JAXP it's Sun.

A SAX ContentHandler that may be used to process SAX
parse events (parsing transformation instructions) into a Templates object.

Note that TemplatesHandler does not need to implement LexicalHandler.

When a TemplatesHandler object is used as a ContentHandler
for the parsing of transformation instructions, it creates a Templates object,
which the caller can get once the SAX events have been completed.

Returns:The Templates object that was created during
the SAX event process, or null if no Templates object has
been created.

Set the base ID (URI or system ID) for the Templates object
created by this builder.  This must be set in order to
resolve relative URIs in the stylesheet.  This must be
called before the startDocument event.

Params:
  • systemID – Base URI for this stylesheet.
