All Implemented Interfaces:

public class SchemaValidatorImpl
extends SchemaValidator

A SchemaValidator is an object that is used for validating instance documents against a schema. The schema consists of the collection of schema components that are available within the schema cache maintained by the SchemaManager, together with any additional schema components located during the course of validation by means of an xsl:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute within the instance document.

If validation fails, an exception is thrown. If validation succeeds, the validated document can optionally be written to a specified destination. This will be a copy of the original document, augmented with default values for absent elements and attributes, and carrying type annotations derived from the schema processing. Expansion of defaults can be suppressed by means of the method setExpandAttributeDefaults(boolean).

A SchemaValidator is serially resuable but not thread-safe. That is, it should normally be used in the thread where it is created, but it can be used more than once, to validate multiple input documents.

A SchemaValidator is a Destination, which allows it to receive the output of a query or transformation to be validated.

Saxon does not deliver the full PSVI as described in the XML schema specifications, only the subset of the PSVI properties featured in the XDM data model.

Method Detail

setLax

public void setLax(boolean lax)

The validation mode may be either strict or lax. The default is strict; this method may be called to indicate that lax validation is required. With strict validation, validation fails if no element declaration can be located for the outermost element. With lax validation, the absence of an element declaration results in the content being considered valid.

Specified by:

setLax in class SchemaValidator

Parameters:

lax - true if validation is to be lax, false if it is to be strict

isLax

public boolean isLax()

Ask whether validation is to be in lax mode.

Specified by:

isLax in class SchemaValidator

Returns:

true if validation is to be in lax mode, false if it is to be in strict mode.

setErrorListener

public void setErrorListener(javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener listener)

Set the ErrorListener to be used while validating instance documents.

Specified by:

setErrorListener in class SchemaValidator

Parameters:

listener - The error listener to be used. This is notified of all errors detected during the validation episode.

getErrorListener

public javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener getErrorListener()

Get the ErrorListener being used while validating instance documents

Specified by:

getErrorListener in class SchemaValidator

Returns:

listener The error listener in use. This is notified of all errors detected during the validation episode. Returns null if the invalidity handler is not one that wraps an error listener.

getReceiver

public Receiver getReceiver(Configuration config)

The getReceiver() method is used internally to provide the receiver to which events can be sent; the effect is that the SchemaValidator validates the document represented by this sequence of events

Specified by:

getReceiver in interface Destination

Specified by:

getReceiver in class SchemaValidator

Parameters:

config - the Saxon Configuration

Returns:

a Receiver to which events can be sent

Throws:

SaxonApiException - if a failure occurs

close

public void close()
           throws SaxonApiException

Close the destination, allowing resources to be released. Saxon calls this method when it has finished writing to the destination.

Specified by:

close in interface Destination

Specified by:

close in class SchemaValidator

Throws:

SaxonApiException - if any failure occurs
