Method Detail

makeDocumentBuilder

public static DocumentBuilder makeDocumentBuilder(boolean validate,
                                                  boolean whitespace,
                                                  boolean namespace,

                                           throws ParserConfigurationException

Create a DocumentBuilder using the makeDocumentFactory func.

Parameters:

validate - should the parser validate documents?

whitespace - should the parser eliminate whitespace in element content?

namespace - should the parser be namespace aware?

downloadDTDs - if true, parser should attempt to resolve external entities

Returns:

document builder

Throws:

ParserConfigurationException
