/**
* The mapping in the JavaTM programming language for the SQL XML type.
* XML is a built-in type that stores an XML value
* as a column value in a row of a database table.
* By default drivers implement an SQLXML object as
* a logical pointer to the XML data
* rather than the data itself.
* An SQLXML object is valid for the duration of the transaction in which it was created.
*
* The SQLXML interface provides methods for accessing the XML value
* as a String, a Reader or Writer, or as a Stream. The XML value
* may also be accessed through a Source or set as a Result, which
* are used with XML Parser APIs such as DOM, SAX, and StAX, as
* well as with XSLT transforms and XPath evaluations.
*
* Methods in the interfaces ResultSet, CallableStatement, and PreparedStatement,
* such as getSQLXML allow a programmer to access an XML value.
* In addition, this interface has methods for updating an XML value.
*
* The XML value of the SQLXML instance may be obtained as a BinaryStream using
*
* SQLXML sqlxml = resultSet.getSQLXML(column);
* InputStream binaryStream = sqlxml.getBinaryStream();
*
* For example, to parse an XML value with a DOM parser:
*
* DocumentBuilder parser = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
* Document result = parser.parse(binaryStream);
*
* or to parse an XML value with a SAX parser to your handler:
*
* SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
* parser.parse(binaryStream, myHandler);
*
* or to parse an XML value with a StAX parser:
*
* XMLInputFactory factory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
* XMLStreamReader streamReader = factory.createXMLStreamReader(binaryStream);
*
*
* Because databases may use an optimized representation for the XML,
* accessing the value through getSource() and
* setResult() can lead to improved processing performance
* without serializing to a stream representation and parsing the XML.
*
* For example, to obtain a DOM Document Node:
*
* DOMSource domSource = sqlxml.getSource(DOMSource.class);
* Document document = (Document) domSource.getNode();
*
* or to set the value to a DOM Document Node to myNode:
*
* DOMResult domResult = sqlxml.setResult(DOMResult.class);
* domResult.setNode(myNode);
*
* or, to send SAX events to your handler:
*
* SAXSource saxSource = sqlxml.getSource(SAXSource.class);
* XMLReader xmlReader = saxSource.getXMLReader();
* xmlReader.setContentHandler(myHandler);
* xmlReader.parse(saxSource.getInputSource());
*
* or, to set the result value from SAX events:
*
* SAXResult saxResult = sqlxml.setResult(SAXResult.class);
* ContentHandler contentHandler = saxResult.getXMLReader().getContentHandler();
* contentHandler.startDocument();
* // set the XML elements and attributes into the result
* contentHandler.endDocument();
*
* or, to obtain StAX events:
*
* StAXSource staxSource = sqlxml.getSource(StAXSource.class);
* XMLStreamReader streamReader = staxSource.getXMLStreamReader();
*
* or, to set the result value from StAX events:
*
* StAXResult staxResult = sqlxml.setResult(StAXResult.class);
* XMLStreamWriter streamWriter = staxResult.getXMLStreamWriter();
*
* or, to perform XSLT transformations on the XML value using the XSLT in xsltFile
* output to file resultFile:
*
* File xsltFile = new File("a.xslt");
* File myFile = new File("result.xml");
* Transformer xslt = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(new StreamSource(xsltFile));
* Source source = sqlxml.getSource(null);
* Result result = new StreamResult(myFile);
* xslt.transform(source, result);
*
* or, to evaluate an XPath expression on the XML value:
*
* XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
* DOMSource domSource = sqlxml.getSource(DOMSource.class);
* Document document = (Document) domSource.getNode();
* String expression = "/foo/@bar";
* String barValue = xpath.evaluate(expression, document);
*
* To set the XML value to be the result of an XSLT transform:
*
* File sourceFile = new File("source.xml");
* Transformer xslt = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(new StreamSource(xsltFile));
* Source streamSource = new StreamSource(sourceFile);
* Result result = sqlxml.setResult(null);
* xslt.transform(streamSource, result);
*
* Any Source can be transformed to a Result using the identity transform
* specified by calling newTransformer():
*
* Transformer identity = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
* Source source = sqlxml.getSource(null);
* File myFile = new File("result.xml");
* Result result = new StreamResult(myFile);
* identity.transform(source, result);
*
* To write the contents of a Source to standard output:
*
* Transformer identity = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
* Source source = sqlxml.getSource(null);
* Result result = new StreamResult(System.out);
* identity.transform(source, result);
*
* To create a DOMSource from a DOMResult:
*
* DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(domResult.getNode());
*
*
* Incomplete or invalid XML values may cause an SQLException when
* set or the exception may occur when execute() occurs. All streams
* must be closed before execute() occurs or an SQLException will be thrown.
*
* Reading and writing XML values to or from an SQLXML object can happen at most once.
* The conceptual states of readable and not readable determine if one
* of the reading APIs will return a value or throw an exception.
* The conceptual states of writable and not writable determine if one
* of the writing APIs will set a value or throw an exception.
*
* The state moves from readable to not readable once free() or any of the
* reading APIs are called: getBinaryStream(), getCharacterStream(), getSource(), and getString().
* Implementations may also change the state to not writable when this occurs.
*
* The state moves from writable to not writeable once free() or any of the
* writing APIs are called: setBinaryStream(), setCharacterStream(), setResult(), and setString().
* Implementations may also change the state to not readable when this occurs.
*
*
* All methods on the SQLXML interface must be fully implemented if the
* JDBC driver supports the data type.
*
* @see javax.xml.parsers
* @see javax.xml.transform
* @see javax.xml.xpath
