Java Filtration/Transformation Source.

Controlling Event Stream Generation

The Java Objects used to create this source can be used to generate a stream of SAX events, which can then be analysed by Smooks in the normal manner. Generation of the SAX event stream can also be turned off via the setEventStreamRequired(boolean) method, or by configuring the 'http://www.smooks.org/sax/features/generate-java-event-stream' feature on the reader in the Smoooks configuration as follows:

 <reader>
     <features>
         <setOff feature="http://www.smooks.org/sax/features/generate-java-event-stream" />
     </features>
 </reader>
 

Turning off event stream generation can make sense in many situations. In some use cases event stream generation may add no value and may just reduces performance e.g. where you simply wish to apply a template to the supplied Java Object(s).

Smooks must generate at least 1 event to which configured resources can be targeted (e.g. a templating resource). When event stream generation is turned off, Smooks simply generates what we call a "Null Source" document event. In XML, it could be represented as "<nullsource-document/>". So when event stream generation is turned off, simply target resources at "nullsource-document" or "#document".
