This again is a wrapper around a <code>Configuration</code>. All the configuration properties are exposed via the <code>Processor</code> methods <code>getProperty(name)</code> and <code>setProperty(name, value)</code> which map directly to the methods<code>getConfigurationProperty(name)</code> and <code>setConfigurationProperty(name, value)</code> on the underlying <code>Configuration</code>.</p> <p>The s9api <code>Processor</code> object also has a constructor <code>new Processor(stream)</code> which allows the underlying <code>Configuration</code> to be built from a supplied configuration file, which must have the format described in <a class="bodylink" href="../../configuration/configuration-file.xml">Configuration file</a>. Configuration files are available only in Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE.</p> <p>In many cases with the Saxon.Api interface it is more appropriate to set options at a finer level of granularity than the <code>Processor</code>. For example, options that affect XSLT stylesheet compilation can be set on the <code>XsltCompiler</code> object, and options that affect XQuery compilation on the <code>XQueryCompiler</code>.</p> <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <p align="right"><a class="nav" href="config-commandline.xml">Next</a></p> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
