Method Detail- 
newDefaultFactorypublic static XMLInputFactory newDefaultFactory() Creates a new instance of theXMLInputFactorybuiltin system-default implementation.- Returns:
- A new instance of the XMLInputFactorybuiltin system-default implementation.
- Since:
- 9
 
 - 
newInstancepublic static XMLInputFactory newInstance() throws FactoryConfigurationError Creates a new instance of the factory in exactly the same manner as thenewFactory()method.- Throws:
- FactoryConfigurationError- if an instance of this factory cannot be loaded
 
 - 
newFactorypublic static XMLInputFactory newFactory() throws FactoryConfigurationError Create a new instance of the factory.This static method creates a new factory instance. This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine the XMLInputFactory implementation class to load: - 
   Use the javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory system property. 
- 
   Use the configuration file "stax.properties". The file is in standard Propertiesformat and typically located in theconfdirectory of the Java installation. It contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above.The stax.properties file is read only once by the 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 stax.properties after it has been read for the first time. Use the jaxp configuration file "jaxp.properties". The file is in the same format as stax.properties and will only be read if stax.properties does not exist. 
- 
   Use the service-provider loading facility, defined by the ServiceLoaderclass, 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.
- 
 Otherwise, the system-default implementation is returned. 
 Once an application has obtained a reference to a XMLInputFactory it can use the factory to configure and obtain stream instances. - Throws:
- FactoryConfigurationError- in case of service configuration error or if the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.
 
- 
   
 - 
newInstance@Deprecated(since="1.7") public static XMLInputFactory newInstance(String factoryId, ClassLoader classLoader) throws FactoryConfigurationError Deprecated.This method has been deprecated to maintain API consistency. All newInstance methods have been replaced with corresponding newFactory methods. The replacementnewFactory(java.lang.String, java.lang.ClassLoader)method defines no changes in behavior.Create a new instance of the factory- Parameters:
- factoryId- Name of the factory to find, same as a property name
- classLoader- classLoader to use
- Returns:
- the factory implementation
- Throws:
- FactoryConfigurationError- if an instance of this factory cannot be loaded
 
 - 
newFactorypublic static XMLInputFactory newFactory(String factoryId, ClassLoader classLoader) throws FactoryConfigurationError Create a new instance of the factory. If the classLoader argument is null, then the ContextClassLoader is used.This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine the XMLInputFactory implementation class to load: - 
   Use the value of the system property identified by factoryId.
- 
   Use the configuration file "stax.properties". The file is in standard Propertiesformat and typically located in theconfdirectory of the Java installation. It contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above.The stax.properties file is read only once by the 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 stax.properties after it has been read for the first time. Use the jaxp configuration file "jaxp.properties". The file is in the same format as stax.properties and will only be read if stax.properties does not exist. 
- 
   If factoryIdis "javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory", use the service-provider loading facility, defined by theServiceLoaderclass, to attempt to locate and load an implementation of the service using the specifiedClassLoader. IfclassLoaderis null, the default loading mechanism will apply: That is, 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.
- 
   Otherwise, throws a FactoryConfigurationError.
 Note that this is a new method that replaces the deprecated newInstance(String factoryId, ClassLoader classLoader)method. No changes in behavior are defined by this replacement method relative to the deprecated method.- API Note:
- The parameter factoryId defined here is inconsistent with that of other JAXP factories where the first parameter is fully qualified factory class name that provides implementation of the factory.
- Parameters:
- factoryId- Name of the factory to find, same as a property name
- classLoader- classLoader to use
- Returns:
- the factory implementation
- Throws:
- FactoryConfigurationError- in case of service configuration error or if the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.
- FactoryConfigurationError- if an instance of this factory cannot be loaded
