Class SecureSAXParserFactory

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.xml.secure.SecureSAXParserFactory

public final class SecureSAXParserFactory
extends Object

Creates new, secure SAXParserFactory instances.

Beyond the three universal guarantees on org.apache.commons.xml.secure, XInclude resolution is denied by default. When setXIncludeAware(true) is called on the returned factory, the parser will process xi:include elements but every external resource lookup is rejected. To permit specific trusted resources, install an EntityResolver on the XMLReader that allow-lists them; any href the resolver does not explicitly allow stays blocked.

Not a SAXParserFactory itself, so none of the JAXP static factory methods is inherited: a caller cannot reach a non-secured factory through this class by calling an inherited method such as newDefaultInstance(). The secure factories are instances of a nested, non-public wrapper class.

Method Details

newDefaultInstance

public static SAXParserFactory newDefaultInstance()

Returns a new, secure SAXParserFactory of the system-default implementation.

Obtained as by SAXParserFactory.newDefaultInstance() where the platform provides it (Java 9 or later), by instantiating the JDK's built-in implementation directly on Java 8, and by the standard newInstance() lookup where the platform provides neither (for example, Android, whose lookup is itself pinned to the platform implementation).

Returns:

A secure factory.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown if a required secure setting cannot be applied to the underlying implementation.

FactoryConfigurationError - Thrown from the newInstance() lookup this method falls back to on a platform that provides neither newDefaultInstance() nor the JDK's built-in implementation (for example Android).

newDefaultNSInstance

public static SAXParserFactory newDefaultNSInstance()

Returns a new, secure, namespace-aware SAXParserFactory of the system-default implementation, enabling namespace awareness on newDefaultInstance(), the behavior SAXParserFactory.newDefaultNSInstance() (Java 13 or later) is specified to have.

Returns:

A secure, namespace-aware factory.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown if a required secure setting cannot be applied to the underlying implementation.

FactoryConfigurationError - Thrown from the newInstance() lookup newDefaultInstance() falls back to on a platform that provides neither newDefaultInstance() nor the JDK's built-in implementation (for example Android).

newInstance

public static SAXParserFactory newInstance()

Returns a new, secure SAXParserFactory.

Returns:

A secure factory.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown if a required secure setting cannot be applied to the underlying implementation.

FactoryConfigurationError - Thrown from SAXParserFactory in case of a service configuration error or if the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.

newInstance

public static SAXParserFactory newInstance(String factoryClassName,
 ClassLoader classLoader)

Returns a new, secure SAXParserFactory of the given implementation class.

Parameters:

factoryClassName - The fully qualified class name of the SAXParserFactory implementation.

classLoader - The class loader used to load the factory class; null means the current thread's context class loader.

Returns:

A secure factory.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown if a required secure setting cannot be applied to the underlying implementation.

FactoryConfigurationError - Thrown if factoryClassName is null or the factory class cannot be loaded or instantiated.

newNSInstance

public static SAXParserFactory newNSInstance()

Returns a new, secure, namespace-aware SAXParserFactory, enabling namespace awareness on newInstance(), the behavior SAXParserFactory.newNSInstance() (Java 13 or later) is specified to have.

Returns:

A secure, namespace-aware factory.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown if a required secure setting cannot be applied to the underlying implementation.

FactoryConfigurationError - Thrown from SAXParserFactory in case of a service configuration error or if the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.

newNSInstance

public static SAXParserFactory newNSInstance(String factoryClassName,
 ClassLoader classLoader)

Returns a new, secure, namespace-aware SAXParserFactory of the given implementation class, enabling namespace awareness on newInstance(String, ClassLoader), the behavior SAXParserFactory.newNSInstance(String, ClassLoader) (Java 13 or later) is specified to have.

Parameters:

factoryClassName - The fully qualified class name of the SAXParserFactory implementation.

classLoader - The class loader used to load the factory class; null means the current thread's context class loader.

Returns:

A secure, namespace-aware factory.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown if a required secure setting cannot be applied to the underlying implementation.

FactoryConfigurationError - Thrown if factoryClassName is null or the factory class cannot be loaded or instantiated.
