public abstract class SchemaReader

extends java.lang.Object

A class for reading XML Schema documents. The class is not instantiated, its methods are static.

Method Summary

static javax.xml.transform.Source	getSource(java.lang.String baseURI, java.lang.String relativeURI, PipelineConfiguration pipe, java.lang.String targetNamespace) Resolve and dereference a URI to get a Source object representing a schema document
static javax.xml.transform.Source[]	getSources(java.lang.String baseURI, java.lang.String[] relativeURI, PipelineConfiguration pipe, java.lang.String targetNamespace) Resolve and dereference a set of URIs to get a set of Source objects representing schema documents
static SchemaDocument	read(javax.xml.transform.Source source, PipelineConfiguration pipe, SchemaDocumentManager manager, SchemaElement referrer) Read the Schema from a source XML document and returns the Schema document.

Method Detail

getSource

public static javax.xml.transform.Source getSource(java.lang.String baseURI,
                                                   java.lang.String relativeURI,
                                                   PipelineConfiguration pipe,
                                                   java.lang.String targetNamespace)
                                            throws SchemaException

Resolve and dereference a URI to get a Source object representing a schema document

Parameters:

baseURI - the base URI

relativeURI - the URI to be resolved relative to the base URI

pipe - the pipeline configuration (which may define a URIResolver to be used)

targetNamespace - the targetNamespace of the schema document required (this is set to null when doing an include or redefine, because in those cases the targetNamespace cannot be used to locate the schema document)

Returns:

the JAXP Source object representing the deferenced URI, or null if no source could be located

Throws:

SchemaException - if any errors occur

getSources

public static javax.xml.transform.Source[] getSources(java.lang.String baseURI,
                                                      java.lang.String[] relativeURI,
                                                      PipelineConfiguration pipe,
                                                      java.lang.String targetNamespace)
                                               throws SchemaException

Resolve and dereference a set of URIs to get a set of Source objects representing schema documents

Parameters:

baseURI - the base URI

relativeURI - the URIs (location hints) to be resolved relative to the base URI

pipe - the pipeline configuration (which may define a URIResolver to be used)

targetNamespace - the targetNamespace of the schema document required (this is set to null when doing an include or redefine, because in those cases the targetNamespace cannot be used to locate the schema document)

Returns:

the JAXP Source object representing the deferenced URI

Throws:

SchemaException - if any errors occur

read

public static SchemaDocument read(javax.xml.transform.Source source,
                                  PipelineConfiguration pipe,
                                  SchemaDocumentManager manager,
                                  SchemaElement referrer)
                           throws SchemaException

Read the Schema from a source XML document and returns the Schema document. The schema document is validated against the XML Representation Constraints, but the resulting schema components not validated against schema component constraints: this must be done by the caller after all schema components are assembled, by calling SchemaDocument.validate(javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener)

Parameters:

source - the JAXP Source containing the scheAma document

pipe - the configuration

manager - the schema document manager, which knows about any other schema documents currently being read

referrer - if the schema document is referenced from an xs:import, xs:include, or xs:redefined, this parameter identifies that element; otherwise, null.

Returns:

the new Schema created from the source of this SchemaReader

Throws:

SchemaException - if the schema module can't be read or parsed, or if the schema module is an invalid schema
