# Class DOMResult

java.lang.Object
javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Result`

public class DOMResult extends Object implements Result
Acts as a holder for a transformation result tree in the form of a Document Object Model (DOM) tree.

If no output DOM source is set, the transformation will create a Document node as the holder for the result of the transformation, which may be retrieved with `getNode()`.

Since:
  1.4

## Constructor Details

### DOMResult

public DOMResult()
Zero-argument default constructor.

`node`, `siblingNode` and `systemId` will be set to `null`.

### DOMResult

public DOMResult(Node node)
Use a DOM node to create a new output target.

In practice, the node should be a `Document` node, a `DocumentFragment` node, or a `Element` node. In other words, a node that accepts children.

`siblingNode` and `systemId` will be set to `null`.

Parameters:
  `node` - The DOM node that will contain the result tree.

### DOMResult

public DOMResult(Node node, String systemId)
Use a DOM node to create a new output target with the specified System ID.

In practice, the node should be a `Document` node, a `DocumentFragment` node, or a `Element` node. In other words, a node that accepts children.

`siblingNode` will be set to `null`.

Parameters:
  `node` - The DOM node that will contain the result tree.
  `systemId` - The system identifier which may be used in association with this node.

### DOMResult

public DOMResult(Node node, Node nextSibling)
Use a DOM node to create a new output target specifying the child node where the result nodes should be inserted before.

In practice, `node` and `nextSibling` should be a `Document` node, a `DocumentFragment` node, or a `Element` node. In other words, a node that accepts children.

Use `nextSibling` to specify the child node where the result nodes should be inserted before. If `nextSibling` is not a sibling of `node`, then an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown. If `node` is `null` and `nextSibling` is not `null`, then an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown. If `nextSibling` is `null`, then the behavior is the same as calling `DOMResult(Node node)`, i.e. append the result nodes as the last child of the specified `node`.

`systemId` will be set to `null`.

Parameters:
  `node` - The DOM node that will contain the result tree.
  `nextSibling` - The child node where the result nodes should be inserted before.
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - If `nextSibling` is not a sibling of `node` or `node` is `null` and `nextSibling` is not `null`.
Since:
  1.5

### DOMResult

public DOMResult(Node node, Node nextSibling, String systemId)
Use a DOM node to create a new output target specifying the child node where the result nodes should be inserted before and the specified System ID.

In practice, `node` and `nextSibling` should be a `Document` node, a `DocumentFragment` node, or a `Element` node. In other words, a node that accepts children.

Use `nextSibling` to specify the child node where the result nodes should be inserted before. If `nextSibling` is not a sibling of `node`, then an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown. If `node` is `null` and `nextSibling` is not `null`, then an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown. If `nextSibling` is `null`, then the behavior is the same as calling `DOMResult(Node node, String systemId)`, i.e. append the result nodes as the last child of the specified node and use the specified System ID.

Parameters:
  `node` - The DOM node that will contain the result tree.
  `nextSibling` - The child node where the result nodes should be inserted before.
  `systemId` - The system identifier which may be used in association with this node.
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - If `nextSibling` is not a sibling of `node` or `node` is `null` and `nextSibling` is not `null`.
Since:
  1.5

## Method Details

### setNode

public void setNode(Node node)
Set the node that will contain the result DOM tree.

In practice, the node should be a `Document` node, a `DocumentFragment` node, or a `Element` node. In other words, a node that accepts children.

An `IllegalStateException` is thrown if `nextSibling` is not `null` and `node` is not a parent of `nextSibling`. An `IllegalStateException` is thrown if `node` is `null` and `nextSibling` is not `null`.

Parameters:
  `node` - The node to which the transformation will be appended.
Throws:
  `IllegalStateException` - If `nextSibling` is not `null` and `nextSibling` is not a child of `node` or `node` is `null` and `nextSibling` is not `null`.

### getNode

public Node getNode()
Get the node that will contain the result DOM tree.

If no node was set via `DOMResult(Node node)`, `DOMResult(Node node, String systeId)`, `DOMResult(Node node, Node nextSibling)`, `DOMResult(Node node, Node nextSibling, String systemId)` or `setNode(Node node)`, then the node will be set by the transformation, and may be obtained from this method once the transformation is complete. Calling this method before the transformation will return `null`.

Returns:
  The node to which the transformation will be appended.

### setNextSibling

public void setNextSibling(Node nextSibling)
Set the child node before which the result nodes will be inserted.

Use `nextSibling` to specify the child node before which the result nodes should be inserted. If `nextSibling` is not a descendant of `node`, then an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown. If `node` is `null` and `nextSibling` is not `null`, then an `IllegalStateException` is thrown. If `nextSibling` is `null`, then the behavior is the same as calling `DOMResult(Node node)`, i.e. append the result nodes as the last child of the specified `node`.

Parameters:
  `nextSibling` - The child node before which the result nodes will be inserted.
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - If `nextSibling` is not a descendant of `node`.
  `IllegalStateException` - If `node` is `null` and `nextSibling` is not `null`.
Since:
  1.5

### getNextSibling

public Node getNextSibling()
Get the child node before which the result nodes will be inserted.

If no node was set via `DOMResult(Node node, Node nextSibling)`, `DOMResult(Node node, Node nextSibling, String systemId)` or `setNextSibling(Node nextSibling)`, then `null` will be returned.

Returns:
  The child node before which the result nodes will be inserted.
Since:
  1.5

### setSystemId

public void setSystemId(String systemId)
Set the systemId that may be used in association with the node.

Specified by:
  `setSystemId` in interface `Result`
Parameters:
  `systemId` - The system identifier as a URI string.

### getSystemId

public String getSystemId()
Get the System Identifier.

If no System ID was set via `DOMResult(Node node, String systemId)`, `DOMResult(Node node, Node nextSibling, String systemId)` or `setSystemId(String systemId)`, then `null` will be returned.

Specified by:
  `getSystemId` in interface `Result`
Returns:
  The system identifier.
