public final class Validation
extends Object

This class contains constants and static methods to manipulate the validation property of a type.

Field Summary

static int	BY_TYPE Code indicating that validation against a named type was requested
static int	DEFAULT Code indicating that no specific validation options were requested
static int	INVALID Code indicating that the value of a validation request was invalid
static int	LAX Code for lax validation
static int	PRESERVE Code corresponding to the XSLT option validation=preserve, which indicates that existing type annotations are to be preserved but no new validation is performed.
static int	SKIP Synonym for STRIP, corresponding to XQuery usage
static int	STRICT Code for strict validation
static int	STRIP Code corresponding to the XSLT option validation=strip, which indicates that existing type annotations are to be removed and no new validation is performed.
static int	VALIDATE_OUTPUT Bit setting that can be combined with a validation code to indicate that the data being validated is final output data, and that validation errors are therefore recoverable.
static int	VALIDATION_MODE_MASK Mask used when a validation code is combined with other information in an integer value

Method Summary

static int	getCode(String value) Get the integer validation code corresponding to a given string
static String	toString(int value) Get a string representation of a validation code

Method Detail

getCode

public static int getCode(String value)

Get the integer validation code corresponding to a given string

Parameters:

value - one of "strict", "lax", "preserve", or "strip"

Returns:

the corresponding code STRICT, LAX, PRESERVE, or STRIP

toString

public static String toString(int value)
