All Implemented Interfaces:

org.xml.sax.ContentHandler, org.xml.sax.DTDHandler, org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler

public class ValidatorHandlerImpl
extends javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler
implements org.xml.sax.ContentHandler, org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler, org.xml.sax.DTDHandler

The is the Saxon implementation of the JAXP 1.3 ValidatorHandler interface. It is a SAX ContentHandler that accepts events from an XML parser (or elsewhere), validates them, reports any errors, and passes the events on to another ContentHandler. The events that are passed on will be augmented with extra elements and attributes that expand default values defined in the schema. In addition, the receiving ContentHandler has access to a TypeInfoProvider that gives information about the type of the current element or attribute event.

A ValidatorHandler is the front end to a rather complex pipeline. The ValidatorHandler is the first stage in the pipeline: it receives events from a SAX parser or other source of SAX events. The next stage is a ReceivingContentHandler, which translates SAX events into Receiver events. This is followed by a number of Receivers to do the validation (actually a stack of Receivers, since a new ComplexContentValidator is added each time a new element starts). The last Receiver is the finalProxy: this translates Receiver events back into SAX2 events, for delivery to the user's ContentHandler.

The user's ContentHandler has access to a TypeInfoProvider that gives information about the types of elements and attributes. This information is passed down the Receiver pipeline in the form of typeCodes associated with element and attribute events. The TypeInfoProvider is part of the finalProxy, which saves the type information locally and returns it to the user's ContentHandler on request. The TypeInfo objects supplied by the TypeInfoProvider are in fact the schema components representing the type, as a SchemaType object.

Constructor Detail

ValidatorHandlerImpl

public ValidatorHandlerImpl()

Method Detail

setPipelineConfiguration

public void setPipelineConfiguration(PipelineConfiguration pipe)

Set the pipeline configuration used by this validator handler

Parameters:

pipe - the pipeline configuration

setReceivingContentHandler

public void setReceivingContentHandler(ReceivingContentHandler rch)

Get the ReceivingContentHandler that receives the SAX events at the start of this pipeline

Parameters:

rch - the ReceivingContentHandler

setFinalProxy

public void setFinalProxy(TypedContentHandler proxy)

Set the TypedContentHandler that acts as the final stage in this pipeline, receiving typed events from the validator stack

Parameters:

proxy - the TypedContentHandler at the end of the pipeline

setContentHandler

public void setContentHandler(org.xml.sax.ContentHandler receiver)

Sets the ContentHandler which receives the augmented validation result.

A ValidatorHandler may buffer events to certain extent, but to allow ValidatorHandler to be used by a parser, the following requirement has to be met.

1. When ContentHandler.startElement(String, String, String, Attributes), ContentHandler.endElement(String, String, String), ContentHandler.startDocument(), or ContentHandler.endDocument() are invoked on a ValidatorHandler, the same method on the user-specified ContentHandler must be invoked for the same event before the callback returns.

The Saxon implementation does not meet this requirement. StartElement events are buffered until the first thing following the attributes is encountered.

Specified by:

setContentHandler in class javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler

Parameters:

receiver - A ContentHandler or a null value.

getContentHandler

public org.xml.sax.ContentHandler getContentHandler()

Gets the ContentHandler which receives the augmented validation result.

Specified by:

getContentHandler in class javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler

Returns:

This method returns the object that was last set through the setContentHandler(org.xml.sax.ContentHandler) method, or null if that method has never been called since this ValidatorHandler has created.

See Also:

setContentHandler(org.xml.sax.ContentHandler)

setErrorHandler

public void setErrorHandler(org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler errorHandler)

Sets the ErrorHandler to receive errors encountered during the validation.

Specified by:

setErrorHandler in class javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler

Parameters:

errorHandler - A new error handler to be set. This parameter can be null.

getErrorHandler

public org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler getErrorHandler()

Gets the current ErrorHandler

Specified by:

getErrorHandler in class javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler

Returns:

This method returns the object that was last set through the setErrorHandler(org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler) method, or null if that method has never been called

See Also:

setErrorHandler(org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler)

setResourceResolver

public void setResourceResolver(org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver resourceResolver)

Sets the LSResourceResolver to customize resource resolution while in a validation episode.

Specified by:

setResourceResolver in class javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler

Parameters:

resourceResolver - A new resource resolver to be set. This parameter can be null.

getResourceResolver

public org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver getResourceResolver()

Gets the current LSResourceResolver

Specified by:

getResourceResolver in class javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler

Returns:

This method returns the object that was last set through the setResourceResolver(org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver) method, or null if that method has never been called

getTypeInfoProvider

public javax.xml.validation.TypeInfoProvider getTypeInfoProvider()

Obtains the TypeInfoProvider implementation of this ValidatorHandler. The obtained TypeInfoProvider can be queried during a parse to access the type information determined by the validator.

Specified by:

getTypeInfoProvider in class javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler

Returns:

A non-null valid TypeInfoProvider.

setDocumentLocator

public void setDocumentLocator(org.xml.sax.Locator locator)

getProperty

public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String name)
                             throws org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException,
                                    org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException

Look up the value of a property.

The property name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a ValidatorHandler to recognize a property name but temporarily be unable to return its value. Some property values may be available only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a validation.

Validators are not required to recognize any specific property names.

In the Saxon implementation, the property names that are recognized are the same as the attribute names recognised by a TransformerFactory. These are listed as constant fields in the class FeatureKeys

Overrides:

getProperty in class javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler

Parameters:

name - The property name, which is a non-null fully-qualified URI.

Returns:

The current value of the property.

Throws:

org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException - If the property value can't be assigned or retrieved.

org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException - When the XMLReader recognizes the property name but cannot determine its value at this time.

java.lang.NullPointerException - When the name parameter is null.

setProperty(String, Object)

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String name,
                        java.lang.Object object)

                        org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException

Set the value of a property.

The property name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a ValidatorHandler to recognize a property name but to be unable to change the current value. Some property values may be immutable or mutable only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a validation.

In the Saxon implementation, the property names that are recognized are the same as the attribute names recognised by a TransformerFactory. These are listed as constant fields in the class FeatureKeys

Overrides:

setProperty in class javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler

Parameters:

name - The property name, which is a non-null fully-qualified URI.

object - The requested value for the property.

Throws:

org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException - If the property value can't be assigned or retrieved.

org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException - When the Validator recognizes the property name but cannot set the requested value.

java.lang.NullPointerException - When the name parameter is null.

Begin the scope of a prefix-URI Namespace mapping.

There should never be start/endPrefixMapping events for the "xml" prefix, since it is predeclared and immutable.
