DOMLocator
implements
SourceLocator
| javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMLocator
|
Indicates the position of a node in a source DOM, intended
primarily for error reporting. To use a DOMLocator, the receiver of an
error must downcast the SourceLocator
object returned by an exception. A Transformer
may use this object for purposes other than error reporting, for instance,
to indicate the source node that originated a result node.
