ParserFactory

public class ParserFactory
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserFactory

This class was deprecated in API level 9.
This class works with the deprecated Parser interface.

Java-specific class for dynamically loading SAX parsers.

This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY. See http://www.saxproject.org for further information.

Note: This class is designed to work with the now-deprecated SAX1 Parser class. SAX2 applications should use XMLReaderFactory instead.

ParserFactory is not part of the platform-independent definition of SAX; it is an additional convenience class designed specifically for Java XML application writers. SAX applications can use the static methods in this class to allocate a SAX parser dynamically at run-time based either on the value of the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property or on a string containing the class name.

Note that the application still requires an XML parser that implements SAX1.

Summary

Public methods
`static Parser`	`makeParser()` Create a new SAX parser using the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property.
`static Parser`	`makeParser(String className)` Create a new SAX parser object using the class name provided.

Inherited methods

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

Public methods

makeParser

Added in API level 1

public static Parser makeParser ()

Create a new SAX parser using the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property.

The named class must exist and must implement the Parser interface.

Returns
`Parser`	the newly created parser.

Throws
`NullPointerException`	There is no value for the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property.
`ClassNotFoundException`	The SAX parser class was not found (check your CLASSPATH).
`IllegalAccessException`	The SAX parser class was found, but you do not have permission to load it.
`InstantiationException`	The SAX parser class was found but could not be instantiated.
`ClassCastException`	The SAX parser class was found and instantiated, but does not implement org.xml.sax.Parser.
