1.35. Filter Options

This determines the type of processing model that will be used out of either SAX or DOM. (The default is DOM.)

This determines if default serialization should be switched on. The default value is true. Turning it on tells Smooks to locate a StreamResult (or DOMResult) in the result objects provided to the Smooks.filterSource method and to, by default, serialize all events to that result.

You can turn this behaviour off via the global configuration parameter or you can override it on a per-fragment basis by targeting a visitor implementation at that fragment that either takes ownership of the result writer (when using SAX filtering) or modifies the DOM (when using DOM filtering).

Use this to determine whether an exception should terminate processing. The default setting is true.

This closes source instance streams passed to the Smooks.filterSource method (the default is true). The exception here is System.in, which will never be closed.

This closes result streams passed to the Smooks.filterSource method (the default istrue). The exceptions here are System.out and System.err, which are never closed.

Use this to rewrite XML entities when reading and writing (default serialization) XML.

This sets the reader pool size. Some reader implementations are very expensive to create. Pooling reader instances (in other words, reusing them) can result in significant performance improvement, especially when processing a multitude of small messages. The default value for this setting is 0 (in other words, not pooled: a new reader instance is created for each message).

Configure this to be in line with your applications threading model.
