## Class ExtendedInputSource

- java.lang.Object
- - org.xml.sax.InputSource
  - - com.icl.saxon.ExtendedInputSource

-     public class ExtendedInputSource
      extends org.xml.sax.InputSource

  This class allows a SAXON application to encapsulate information about an input source in a single object, which may include a public identifier, a system identifier, a byte stream (possibly with a specified encoding), a character stream, or a file.

  Most of the functionality is inherited directly from the SAX InputSource class; the additional functionality offered by ExtendedInputSource is to allow the input source to be specified as a File object.

    - #### ExtendedInputSource

          public ExtendedInputSource(java.io.File file)

      Create a new input source from a File. Note that the directory in which the file occurs will be used as the base for resolving any system identifiers encountered within the XML document

    - #### setFile

          public void setFile(java.io.File file)

      Specify that input is to come from a given File.

    - #### setEstimatedLength

          public void setEstimatedLength(int length)

      Set the estimated length of the file (advisory only)

    - #### getEstimatedLength

          public int getEstimatedLength()

      Get the estimated length of the file (advisory only; -1 if not known)
