Class Validator


  • public abstract class Validator
    extends Object

    A processor that checks an XML document against Schema.

    A validator object is not thread-safe and not reentrant. In other words, it is the application's responsibility to make sure that one Validator object is not used from more than one thread at any given time, and while the validate method is invoked, applications may not recursively call the validate method.

    Since:
    1.5
    • Constructor Detail

      • Validator

        protected Validator()
        Constructor for derived classes.

        The constructor does nothing.

        Derived classes must create Validator objects that have null ErrorHandler and null LSResourceResolver.

    • Method Detail

      • reset

        public abstract void reset()

        Reset this Validator to its original configuration.

        Validator is reset to the same state as when it was created with Schema.newValidator(). reset() is designed to allow the reuse of existing Validators thus saving resources associated with the creation of new Validators.

        The reset Validator is not guaranteed to have the same LSResourceResolver or ErrorHandler Objects, e.g. Object.equals(Object obj). It is guaranteed to have a functionally equal LSResourceResolver and ErrorHandler.

      • validate

        public abstract void validate(Source source,
                    Result result)
                               throws SAXException,
                                      IOException

        Validates the specified input and send the augmented validation result to the specified output.

        This method places the following restrictions on the types of the Source/Result accepted.

        Source / Result Accepted
        StreamSource SAXSource DOMSource StAXSource
        null OK OK OK OK
        StreamResult OK IllegalArgumentException IllegalArgumentException IllegalArgumentException
        SAXResult IllegalArgumentException OK IllegalArgumentException IllegalArgumentException
        DOMResult IllegalArgumentException IllegalArgumentException OK IllegalArgumentException
        StAXResult IllegalArgumentException IllegalArgumentException IllegalArgumentException OK

          

        To validate one Source into another kind of Result, use the identity transformer (see TransformerFactory.newTransformer()).

        Errors found during the validation is sent to the specified ErrorHandler.

        If a document is valid, or if a document contains some errors but none of them were fatal and the ErrorHandler didn't throw any exception, then the method returns normally.

        Parameters:
        source - XML to be validated. Must be an XML document or XML element and must not be null. For backwards compatibility, the results of attempting to validate anything other than a document or element are implementation-dependent. Implementations must either recognize and process the input or throw an IllegalArgumentException.
        result - The Result object that receives (possibly augmented) XML. This parameter can be null if the caller is not interested in it. Note that when a DOMResult is used, a validator might just pass the same DOM node from DOMSource to DOMResult (in which case source.getNode()==result.getNode()), it might copy the entire DOM tree, or it might alter the node given by the source.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - If the Result type doesn't match the Source type of if the Source is an XML artifact that the implementation cannot validate (for example, a processing instruction).
        SAXException - If the ErrorHandler throws a SAXException or if a fatal error is found and the ErrorHandler returns normally.
        IOException - If the validator is processing a SAXSource and the underlying XMLReader throws an IOException.
        NullPointerException - If the source parameter is null.
        See Also:
        validate(Source source)
      • setErrorHandler

        public abstract void setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler errorHandler)
        Sets the ErrorHandler to receive errors encountered during the validate method invocation.

        Error handler can be used to customize the error handling process during a validation. When an ErrorHandler is set, errors found during the validation will be first sent to the ErrorHandler.

        The error handler can abort further validation immediately by throwing SAXException from the handler. Or for example it can print an error to the screen and try to continue the validation by returning normally from the ErrorHandler

        If any Throwable is thrown from an ErrorHandler, the caller of the validate method will be thrown the same Throwable object.

        Validator is not allowed to throw SAXException without first reporting it to ErrorHandler.

        When the ErrorHandler is null, the implementation will behave as if the following ErrorHandler is set:

         class DraconianErrorHandler implements ErrorHandler {
             public void fatalError( SAXParseException e ) throws SAXException {
                 throw e;
             }
             public void error( SAXParseException e ) throws SAXException {
                 throw e;
             }
             public void warning( SAXParseException e ) throws SAXException {
                 // noop
             }
         }
         

        When a new Validator object is created, initially this field is set to null.

        Parameters:
        errorHandler - A new error handler to be set. This parameter can be null.
      • setResourceResolver

        public abstract void setResourceResolver(LSResourceResolver resourceResolver)
        Sets the LSResourceResolver to customize resource resolution while in a validation episode.

        Validator uses a LSResourceResolver when it needs to locate external resources while a validation, although exactly what constitutes "locating external resources" is up to each schema language.

        When the LSResourceResolver is null, the implementation will behave as if the following LSResourceResolver is set:

         class DumbLSResourceResolver implements LSResourceResolver {
             public LSInput resolveResource(
                 String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {
        
                 return null; // always return null
             }
         }
         

        If a LSResourceResolver throws a RuntimeException (or instances of its derived classes), then the Validator will abort the parsing and the caller of the validate method will receive the same RuntimeException.

        When a new Validator object is created, initially this field is set to null.

        Parameters:
        resourceResolver - A new resource resolver to be set. This parameter can be null.
      • getFeature

        public boolean getFeature(String name)
                           throws SAXNotRecognizedException,
                                  SAXNotSupportedException
        Look up the value of a feature flag.

        The feature name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a Validator to recognize a feature name but temporarily be unable to return its value. Some feature values may be available only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a validation.

        Implementors are free (and encouraged) to invent their own features, using names built on their own URIs.

        Parameters:
        name - The feature name, which is a non-null fully-qualified URI.
        Returns:
        The current value of the feature (true or false).
        Throws:
        SAXNotRecognizedException - If the feature value can't be assigned or retrieved.
        SAXNotSupportedException - When the Validator recognizes the feature name but cannot determine its value at this time.
        NullPointerException - When the name parameter is null.
        See Also:
        setFeature(String, boolean)
      • setFeature

        public void setFeature(String name,
                      boolean value)
                        throws SAXNotRecognizedException,
                               SAXNotSupportedException
        Set the value of a feature flag.

        Feature can be used to control the way a Validator parses schemas, although Validators are not required to recognize any specific feature names.

        The feature name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a Validator to expose a feature value but to be unable to change the current value. Some feature values may be immutable or mutable only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a validation.

        Parameters:
        name - The feature name, which is a non-null fully-qualified URI.
        value - The requested value of the feature (true or false).
        Throws:
        SAXNotRecognizedException - If the feature value can't be assigned or retrieved.
        SAXNotSupportedException - When the Validator recognizes the feature name but cannot set the requested value.
        NullPointerException - When the name parameter is null.
        See Also:
        getFeature(String)
      • getProperty

        public Object getProperty(String name)
                           throws SAXNotRecognizedException,
                                  SAXNotSupportedException
        Look up the value of a property.

        The property name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a Validator to recognize a property name but temporarily be unable to return its value. Some property values may be available only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a validation.

        Validators are not required to recognize any specific property names.

        Implementors are free (and encouraged) to invent their own properties, using names built on their own URIs.

        Parameters:
        name - The property name, which is a non-null fully-qualified URI.
        Returns:
        The current value of the property.
        Throws:
        SAXNotRecognizedException - If the property value can't be assigned or retrieved.
        SAXNotSupportedException - When the XMLReader recognizes the property name but cannot determine its value at this time.
        NullPointerException - When the name parameter is null.
        See Also:
        setProperty(String, Object)
