resolveURIAsDocument

public static Document resolveURIAsDocument(URI uriRef)
                                     throws SAXException,
                                            IOException

Parses the content of the given URI as an XML document and returns a new DOM Document object. Entity reference nodes will not be expanded. XML inclusions (xi:include elements) will be processed if present.

Parameters:

uriRef - An absolute URI specifying the location of an XML resource.

Returns:

A DOM Document node representing an XML resource.

Throws:

SAXException - If the resource cannot be parsed.

IOException - If the resource is not accessible.

resolveURIAsFile

public static File resolveURIAsFile(URI uriRef)
                             throws IOException

Resolves the given URI and stores the resulting resource representation in a local file. The file will be located in the default temporary file directory.

Parameters:

uriRef - An absolute URI specifying the location of some resource.

Returns:

A File containing the content of the resource; it may be empty if resolution failed for any reason.

Throws:

IOException - If an IO error occurs.

resolveRelativeURI

public static String resolveRelativeURI(String baseURI,
                                        String path)

Constructs an absolute URI value from a relative reference and a base URI.

Parameters:

baseURI - The base URI; it must contain at least the scheme component.

path - A URI reference (path) that is relative to the given base URI.

Returns:

A String representing the resulting URI value.
