Class ValidationFailure

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.type.ValidationFailure

All Implemented Interfaces:

SourceLocator, Location, Invalidity, ConversionResult, Locator

public class ValidationFailure
extends Object
implements Location, ConversionResult, Invalidity

This exception indicates a failure when validating an instance against a type defined in a schema.

This class holds the same information as a ValidationException, except that it is not an exception, and does not carry system overheads such as a stack trace. It is used because operations such as "castable", and validation of values in a union, cause validation failures on a success path and it is costly to throw, or even to create, exception objects on a success path.

public void setConstraintReference(ValidationFailure e)

Copy the constraint reference from another exception object

Parameters:

e - the other exception object from which to copy the information

getSchemaPart

public int getSchemaPart()

Get the "schema part" component of the constraint reference

Specified by:

getSchemaPart in interface Invalidity

Returns:

1 or 2 depending on whether the violated constraint is in XML Schema Part 1 or Part 2; or -1 if there is no constraint reference

getConstraintName

public String getConstraintName()

Get the constraint name

Specified by:

getConstraintName in interface Invalidity

Returns:

the name of the violated constraint, in the form of a fragment identifier within the published XML Schema specification; or null if the information is not available.

getConstraintClauseNumber

public String getConstraintClauseNumber()

Get the constraint clause number

Specified by:

getConstraintClauseNumber in interface Invalidity

Returns:

the section number of the clause containing the constraint that has been violated. Generally a decimal number in the form n.n.n; possibly a sequence of such numbers separated by semicolons. Or null if the information is not available.

getConstraintReference

public String getConstraintReference()

Get the constraint name and clause in the format defined in XML Schema Part C (Outcome Tabulations). This mandates the format validation-rule-name.clause-number

Specified by:

getConstraintReference in interface Invalidity

Returns:

the constraint reference, for example "cos-ct-extends.1.2"; or null if the reference is not known.

getPath

public AbsolutePath getPath()

Description copied from interface: Invalidity

Get a hierarchic path giving the logical position in the instance document where the validation error was found

Specified by:

getPath in interface Invalidity

Returns:

a path to the location in the document

setPath

public void setPath(AbsolutePath path)

getContextPath

public AbsolutePath getContextPath()

Description copied from interface: Invalidity

Get a hierarchic path giving the logical position in the instance document where the validation error was found

Specified by:

getContextPath in interface Invalidity

Returns:

a path to the location in the document

setContextPath

public void setContextPath(AbsolutePath contextPath)

getInvalidNode

public NodeInfo getInvalidNode()

setInvalidNode

public void setInvalidNode(NodeInfo invalidNode)

getMessage

public String getMessage()

Description copied from interface: Invalidity

Get the text of a message explaining what is wrong

Specified by:

getMessage in interface Invalidity

Returns:

a human-readable message explaining the validity error

setMessage

public void setMessage(String message)

toString

public String toString()

Returns the String representation of this Exception

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the String representation of this Exception

getPublicId

public String getPublicId()

Description copied from interface: Location

Get the Public ID

Specified by:

getPublicId in interface SourceLocator

Specified by:

getPublicId in interface Location

Specified by:

getPublicId in interface Locator

Returns:

usually null

getSystemId

public String getSystemId()

Description copied from interface: Location

Get the system ID. This should be the system identifier of an XML external entity; if a stylesheet module comprises multiple external entities, the distinction should be retained. This means, for example, that an instruction in a stylesheet can have a different system identifier from its parent instruction. However, SAX parsers only provide location information at the element level, so when part of an XPath expression is in a different external entity from other parts of the same expression, this distinction is lost.

The system identifier of a node is in general not the same as its base URI. The base URI is affected by xml:base attributes; the system identifier is not.

Specified by:

getSystemId in interface SourceLocator

Specified by:

getSystemId in interface Location

Specified by:

getSystemId in interface Locator

Returns:

the system ID, or null if the information is not available.

getLineNumber

public int getLineNumber()

Description copied from interface: Location

Get the line number. This line number is relative to the external entity identified by the system identifier. Line numbers start at 1. The value may be an approximation; SAX parsers only provide line number information at the level of element nodes.

Specified by:

getLineNumber in interface SourceLocator

Specified by:

getLineNumber in interface Location

Specified by:

getLineNumber in interface Locator

Returns:

the line number, or -1 if the information is not available.

getColumnNumber

public int getColumnNumber()

Description copied from interface: Location

Get the column number. This column number is relative to the line identified by the line number. Column numbers start at 1.

Specified by:

getColumnNumber in interface SourceLocator

Specified by:

getColumnNumber in interface Location

Specified by:

getColumnNumber in interface Locator

Returns:

the column number, or -1 if the information is not available.

saveLocation

public Location saveLocation()

Get an immutable copy of this Location object. By default Location objects may be mutable, so they should not be saved for later use. The result of this operation holds the same location information, but in an immutable form.

Specified by:

saveLocation in interface Location

setPublicId

public void setPublicId(String id)

setSystemId

public void setSystemId(String id)

setLineNumber

public void setLineNumber(int line)

setColumnNumber

public void setColumnNumber(int column)

setLocator

public void setLocator(SourceLocator locator)

setSourceLocator

public void setSourceLocator(SourceLocator locator)

getLocator

public Location getLocator()

setErrorCode

public void setErrorCode(String errorCode)

setErrorCodeQName

public void setErrorCodeQName(StructuredQName errorCode)

getErrorCode

public String getErrorCode()

Get the error code associated with the validity error. This is relevant only when validation is run from within XSLT or XQuery, which define different error codes for validition errors

Specified by:

getErrorCode in interface Invalidity

Returns:

the error code associated with the error, if any. The error is returned as a simple string if it is in the standard error namespace, or as an EQName (that is Q{uri}local) otherwise.

getErrorCodeQName

public StructuredQName getErrorCodeQName()

setSchemaType

public void setSchemaType(SchemaType type)

getSchemaType

public SchemaType getSchemaType()

makeException

public ValidationException makeException()

makeException

public ValidationException makeException(String contextMessage)

asAtomic

public AtomicValue asAtomic()
                     throws ValidationException

Calling this method on a ConversionResult returns the AtomicValue that results from the conversion if the conversion was successful, and throws a ValidationException explaining the conversion error otherwise.

Use this method if you are calling a conversion method that returns a ConversionResult, and if you want to throw an exception if the conversion fails.

Specified by:

asAtomic in interface ConversionResult

Returns:

the atomic value that results from the conversion if the conversion was successful

Throws:

ValidationException - if the conversion was not successful

hasBeenReported

public boolean hasBeenReported()

setHasBeenReported

public void setHasBeenReported(boolean reported)

getValidationLocationText

public String getValidationLocationText()

Get additional location text, if any. This gives extra information about the position of the error in textual form. Where XPath is embedded within a host language such as XSLT, the formal location information identifies the location of the error in the XSLT module, while this string locates the error within a specific XPath expression. The information is typically used only for static errors.

Returns:

additional information about the location of the error, designed to be output as a prefix to the error message if desired. (It is not concatenated with the message, because it may be superfluous in an IDE environment.)

getContextLocationText

public String getContextLocationText()

Get additional location text, if any. This gives extra information about the position of the error in textual form. Where XPath is embedded within a host language such as XSLT, the formal location information identifies the location of the error in the XSLT module, while this string locates the error within a specific XPath expression. The information is typically used only for static errors.

Returns:

additional information about the location of the error, designed to be output as a prefix to the error message if desired. (It is not concatenated with the message, because it may be superfluous in an IDE environment.)

getAbsolutePath

public AbsolutePath getAbsolutePath()

Get the location of the error as a structured path object

Returns:

the location, as a structured path object indicating the position of the error within the containing document
