Class DatatypeFactory

java.lang.Object
- javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory

public abstract class DatatypeFactory
extends Object

Factory that creates new javax.xml.datatype Objects that map XML to/from Java Objects.

A new instance of the DatatypeFactory is created through the newInstance() method that uses the following implementation resolution mechanisms to determine an implementation:

If the system property specified by DATATYPEFACTORY_PROPERTY, "javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory", exists, a class with the name of the property value is instantiated. Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a DatatypeConfigurationException.
Use the configuration file "jaxp.properties". The file is in standard Properties format and typically located in the conf directory of the Java installation. It contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above.

The jaxp.properties file is read only once by the JAXP implementation and its values are then cached for future use. If the file does not exist when the first attempt is made to read from it, no further attempts are made to check for its existence. It is not possible to change the value of any property in jaxp.properties after it has been read for the first time.
Use the service-provider loading facility, defined by the ServiceLoader class, to attempt to locate and load an implementation of the service using the default loading mechanism: the service-provider loading facility will use the current thread's context class loader to attempt to load the service. If the context class loader is null, the system class loader will be used.

In case of service configuration error, a DatatypeConfigurationException will be thrown.
The final mechanism is to attempt to instantiate the Class specified by DATATYPEFACTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_CLASS. Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a DatatypeConfigurationException.

Obtain a new instance of a DatatypeFactory from class name. This function is useful when there are multiple providers in the classpath. It gives more control to the application as it can specify which provider should be loaded.

Once an application has obtained a reference to a DatatypeFactory it can use the factory to configure and obtain datatype instances.

Tip for Trouble-shooting

Setting the jaxp.debug system property will cause this method to print a lot of debug messages to System.err about what it is doing and where it is looking at.

If you have problems try:

java -Djaxp.debug=1 YourProgram ....

Parameters:: factoryClassName - fully qualified factory class name that provides implementation of javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory.; classLoader - ClassLoader used to load the factory class. If null current Thread's context classLoader is used to load the factory class.

See Also:: newInstance()

newDuration

public abstract Duration newDuration(String lexicalRepresentation)

Obtain a new instance of a Duration specifying the Duration as its string representation, "PnYnMnDTnHnMnS", as defined in XML Schema 1.0 section 3.2.6.1.

XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, 3.2.6 duration, defines duration as:

duration represents a duration of time. The value space of duration is a six-dimensional space where the coordinates designate the Gregorian year, month, day, hour, minute, and second components defined in Section 5.5.3.2 of [ISO 8601], respectively. These components are ordered in their significance by their order of appearance i.e. as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

All six values are set and available from the created Duration

The XML Schema specification states that values can be of an arbitrary size. Implementations may chose not to or be incapable of supporting arbitrarily large and/or small values. An UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown with a message indicating implementation limits if implementation capacities are exceeded.

Parameters:: lexicalRepresentation - String representation of a Duration.
Returns:: New Duration created from parsing the lexicalRepresentation.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - If lexicalRepresentation is not a valid representation of a Duration.; UnsupportedOperationException - If implementation cannot support requested values.; NullPointerException - if lexicalRepresentation is null.
