12.34. StreamResult Writing/Serialization

Overview

The Smooks.filterSource(Source, Result) method can take one or more of a number of different Result type implementations, one of which is the javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult class. Smooks streams the Source in and back out again through the StreamResult instance.

By default, Smooks will always serialize the full Source event stream as XML to any StreamResult instance provided to the Smooks.filterSource(Source, Result) method. If the Source provided to the Smooks.filterSource(Source, Result) method is an XML stream and a StreamResult instance is provided as one of the Result instances, the Source XML will be written out to the StreamResult unmodified, unless the Smooks instance is configured with one or more SAXVisitor implementations that modify one or more fragments.
