Method Detail

isValidURI

boolean isValidURI(CharSequence value)

Check whether a given string is considered valid according to the rules of the xs:anyURI type.

This method is called during schema validation, and when casting string to xs:anyURI. It is not used when the xs:anyURI type is used as a return value from methods such as namespace-uri() or namespace-uri-from-QName() - in such cases no checking is applied to the name.

Parameters:

value - the string to be checked

Returns:

true if the string is considered to represent a valid URI
