public abstract class Schema extends Object
Immutable in-memory representation of grammar.This object represents a set of constraints that can be checked/ enforced against an XML document.
A
Schema
object is thread safe and applications are encouraged to share it across many parsers in many threads.A
Schema
object is immutable in the sense that it shouldn't change the set of constraints once it is created. In other words, if an application validates the same document twice against the sameSchema
, it must always produce the same result.A
Schema
object is usually created fromSchemaFactory
.Two kinds of validators can be created from a
Schema
object. One isValidator
, which provides highly-level validation operations that cover typical use cases. The other isValidatorHandler
, which works on top of SAX for better modularity.This specification does not refine the
Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
method. In other words, if you parse the same schema twice, you may still get!schemaA.equals(schemaB)
.

Method Detail

newValidator
public abstract Validator newValidator()
Creates a newValidator
for thisSchema
.A validator enforces/checks the set of constraints this object represents.
Implementors should assure that the properties set on the
SchemaFactory
that created thisSchema
are also set on theValidator
constructed.- Returns:
- Always return a non-null valid object.
-
newValidatorHandler
public abstract ValidatorHandler newValidatorHandler()
Creates a newValidatorHandler
for thisSchema
.Implementors should assure that the properties set on the
SchemaFactory
that created thisSchema
are also set on theValidatorHandler
constructed.- Returns:
- Always return a non-null valid object.
