- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.xmlgraphics.io.XmlSourceUtil

-     public final class XmlSourceUtil
      extends java.lang.Object

  A utility class for handling `Source` objects, more specficially the streams that back the `Source`.

    All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `static void` | `closeQuietly(javax.xml.transform.Source src)` Closes the InputStreams or ImageInputStreams of Source objects.
    `static java.io.InputStream` | `getInputStream(javax.xml.transform.Source src)` Returns the `InputStream` that is backing the given `Source` object.
    `static boolean` | `hasInputStream(javax.xml.transform.Source src)` Indicates whether the Source object has an InputStream instance.
    `static boolean` | `hasReader(javax.xml.transform.Source src)` Indicates whether the Source object has a Reader instance.

    - #### getInputStream

          public static java.io.InputStream getInputStream(javax.xml.transform.Source src)

      Returns the `InputStream` that is backing the given `Source` object.
      Parameters:
        `src` - is backed by an `InputStream`
      Returns:
        the input stream

    - #### needInputStream

          public static java.io.InputStream needInputStream(javax.xml.transform.Source src)

      Returns the InputStream of a Source object. This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if there's no InputStream instance available from the Source object.
      Parameters:
        `src` - the Source object
      Returns:
        the InputStream

    - #### hasReader

          public static boolean hasReader(javax.xml.transform.Source src)

      Indicates whether the Source object has a Reader instance.
      Parameters:
        `src` - the Source object
      Returns:
        true if an Reader is available

    - #### removeStreams

          public static void removeStreams(javax.xml.transform.Source src)

      Removes any references to InputStreams or Readers from the given Source to prohibit accidental/unwanted use by a component further downstream.
      Parameters:
        `src` - the Source object

    - #### closeQuietly

          public static void closeQuietly(javax.xml.transform.Source src)

      Closes the InputStreams or ImageInputStreams of Source objects. Any exception occurring while closing the stream is ignored.
      Parameters:
        `src` - the Source object

    - #### hasInputStream

          public static boolean hasInputStream(javax.xml.transform.Source src)

      Indicates whether the Source object has an InputStream instance.
      Parameters:
        `src` - the Source object
      Returns:
        true if an InputStream is available
