Implements abstract javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.getErrorHandler.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.getErrorHandler.

Gets the current ErrorHandler set to this SchemaFactory.

Overrides javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.getFeature.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.getFeature.

Look up the value of a feature flag.

The feature name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a SchemaFactory to recognize a feature name but temporarily be unable to return its value.

Implementors are free (and encouraged) to invent their own features, using names built on their own URIs.

Exceptions

SAXNotRecognizedException:

If the feature value can't be assigned or retrieved.

SAXNotSupportedException:

When the SchemaFactory recognizes the feature name but cannot determine its value at this time.

Overrides javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.getProperty.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.getProperty.

Look up the value of a property.

The property name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a SchemaFactory to recognize a property name but temporarily be unable to return its value.

SchemaFactorys are not required to recognize any specific property names.

Implementors are free (and encouraged) to invent their own properties, using names built on their own URIs.

Exceptions

SAXNotRecognizedException:

If the property value can't be assigned or retrieved.

SAXNotSupportedException:

When the XMLReader recognizes the property name but cannot determine its value at this time.

Implements abstract javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.getResourceResolver.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.getResourceResolver.

Gets the current LSResourceResolver set to this SchemaFactory.

Implements abstract javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.isSchemaLanguageSupported.

Is specified schema supported by this SchemaFactory?

Parameters

schemaLanguage:String

Specifies the schema language which the returned SchemaFactory will understand. schemaLanguage must specify a valid schema language.

Returns:boolean

true if SchemaFactory supports schemaLanguage, else false.

Exceptions

NullPointerException:

If schemaLanguage is null.

IllegalArgumentException:

If schemaLanguage.length() == 0 or schemaLanguage does not specify a valid schema language.

Implements abstract javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newSchema.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newSchema.

Parses the specified source(s) as a schema and returns it as a schema.

The callee will read all the Sources and combine them into a single schema. The exact semantics of the combination depends on the schema language that this SchemaFactory object is created for.

When an ErrorHandler is set, the callee will report all the errors found in sources to the handler. If the handler throws an exception, it will abort the schema compilation and the same exception will be thrown from this method. Also, after an error is reported to a handler, the callee is allowed to abort the further processing by throwing it. If an error handler is not set, the callee will throw the first error it finds in the sources.

W3C XML Schema 1.0

The resulting schema contains components from the specified sources. The same result would be achieved if all these sources were imported, using appropriate values for schemaLocation and namespace, into a single schema document with a different targetNamespace and no components of its own, if the import elements were given in the same order as the sources. Section 4.2.3 of the XML Schema recommendation describes the options processors have in this regard. While a processor should be consistent in its treatment of JAXP schema sources and XML Schema imports, the behaviour between JAXP-compliant parsers may vary; in particular, parsers may choose to ignore all but the first <import> for a given namespace, regardless of information provided in schemaLocation.

If the parsed set of schemas includes error(s) as specified in the section 5.1 of the XML Schema spec, then the error must be reported to the ErrorHandler.

RELAX NG

For RELAX NG, this method must throw UnsupportedOperationException if schemas.length!=1.

Exceptions

SAXException:

If an error is found during processing the specified inputs. When an ErrorHandler is set, errors are reported to there first. See setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler).

Implements abstract javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newSchema.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newSchema.

Creates a special Schema object.

The exact semantics of the returned Schema object depend on the schema language for which this SchemaFactory is created.

Also, implementations are allowed to use implementation-specific property/feature to alter the semantics of this method.

Implementors and developers should pay particular attention to how the features set on this SchemaFactory are processed by this special Schema. In some cases, for example, when the SchemaFactory and the class actually loading the schema come from different implementations, it may not be possible for SchemaFactory features to be inherited automatically. Developers should make sure that features, such as secure processing, are explicitly set in both places.

W3C XML Schema 1.0

For XML Schema, this method creates a Schema object that performs validation by using location hints specified in documents.

The returned Schema object assumes that if documents refer to the same URL in the schema location hints, they will always resolve to the same schema document. This asusmption allows implementations to reuse parsed results of schema documents so that multiple validations against the same schema will run faster.

Note that the use of schema location hints introduces a vulnerability to denial-of-service attacks.

RELAX NG

RELAX NG does not support this operation.

Exceptions

SAXException:

If this operation is supported but failed for some reason.

Implements abstract javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.setErrorHandler.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.setErrorHandler.

Sets the ErrorHandler to receive errors encountered during the newSchema method invocation.

Error handler can be used to customize the error handling process during schema parsing. When an ErrorHandler is set, errors found during the parsing of schemas will be first sent to the ErrorHandler.

The error handler can abort the parsing of a schema immediately by throwing SAXException from the handler. Or for example it can print an error to the screen and try to continue the processing by returning normally from the ErrorHandler

If any Throwable (or instances of its derived classes) is thrown from an ErrorHandler, the caller of the newSchema method will be thrown the same Throwable object.

SchemaFactory is not allowed to throw SAXException without first reporting it to ErrorHandler.

Applications can call this method even during a Schema is being parsed.

When the ErrorHandler is null, the implementation will behave as if the following ErrorHandler is set:

class DraconianErrorHandler implements ErrorHandler {
    public void fatalError( org.xml.sax.SAXParseException e ) throws SAXException {
        throw e;
    }
    public void error( org.xml.sax.SAXParseException e ) throws SAXException {
        throw e;
    }
    public void warning( org.xml.sax.SAXParseException e ) throws SAXException {
        // noop
    }
}

When a new SchemaFactory object is created, initially this field is set to null. This field will NOT be inherited to Schemas, Validators, or ValidatorHandlers that are created from this SchemaFactory.

Overrides javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.setFeature.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.setFeature.

Set a feature for this SchemaFactory, Schemas created by this factory, and by extension, Validators and ValidatorHandlers created by those Schemas.

Implementors and developers should pay particular attention to how the special Schema object returned by newSchema() is processed. In some cases, for example, when the SchemaFactory and the class actually loading the schema come from different implementations, it may not be possible for SchemaFactory features to be inherited automatically. Developers should make sure that features, such as secure processing, are explicitly set in both places.

The feature name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a SchemaFactory to expose a feature value but to be unable to change the current value.

All implementations are required to support the javax.xml.XMLConstants#FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING feature. When the feature is:

• true: the implementation will limit XML processing to conform to implementation limits. Examples include entity expansion limits and XML Schema constructs that would consume large amounts of resources. If XML processing is limited for security reasons, it will be reported via a call to the registered ErrorHandler#fatalError(SAXParseException exception). See setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler errorHandler).
• false: the implementation will processing XML according to the XML specifications without regard to possible implementation limits.

@SuppressWarnings:deprecation

Exceptions

SAXNotRecognizedException:

If the feature value can't be assigned or retrieved.

SAXNotSupportedException:

When the SchemaFactory recognizes the feature name but cannot set the requested value.

Overrides javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.setProperty.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.setProperty.

Set the value of a property.

The property name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a SchemaFactory to recognize a property name but to be unable to change the current value.

All implementations that implement JAXP 1.5 or newer are required to support the javax.xml.XMLConstants#ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD and javax.xml.XMLConstants#ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA properties.

• Access to external DTDs in Schema files is restricted to the protocols specified by the javax.xml.XMLConstants#ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD property. If access is denied during the creation of new Schema due to the restriction of this property, org.xml.sax.SAXException will be thrown by the newSchema(Source) or newSchema(File) or newSchema(URL) or newSchema(Source[]) method.

  Access to external DTDs in xml source files is restricted to the protocols specified by the javax.xml.XMLConstants#ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD property. If access is denied during validation due to the restriction of this property, org.xml.sax.SAXException will be thrown by the javax.xml.validation.Validator#validate(Source) or javax.xml.validation.Validator#validate(Source, Result) method.

  Access to external reference set by the schemaLocation attribute is restricted to the protocols specified by the javax.xml.XMLConstants#ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA property. If access is denied during validation due to the restriction of this property, org.xml.sax.SAXException will be thrown by the javax.xml.validation.Validator#validate(Source) or javax.xml.validation.Validator#validate(Source, Result) method.

  Access to external reference set by the Import and Include element is restricted to the protocols specified by the javax.xml.XMLConstants#ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA property. If access is denied during the creation of new Schema due to the restriction of this property, org.xml.sax.SAXException will be thrown by the newSchema(Source) or newSchema(File) or newSchema(URL) or newSchema(Source[]) method.

Exceptions

SAXNotRecognizedException:

If the property value can't be assigned or retrieved.

SAXNotSupportedException:

When the SchemaFactory recognizes the property name but cannot set the requested value.

Implements abstract javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.setResourceResolver.

Doc from javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.setResourceResolver.

Sets the LSResourceResolver to customize resource resolution when parsing schemas.

SchemaFactory uses a LSResourceResolver when it needs to locate external resources while parsing schemas, although exactly what constitutes "locating external resources" is up to each schema language. For example, for W3C XML Schema, this includes files <include>d or <import>ed, and DTD referenced from schema files, etc.

Applications can call this method even during a Schema is being parsed.

When the LSResourceResolver is null, the implementation will behave as if the following LSResourceResolver is set:

class DumbDOMResourceResolver implements LSResourceResolver {
    public org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput resolveResource(
        String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {

        return null; // always return null
    }
}

If a LSResourceResolver throws a RuntimeException (or instances of its derived classes), then the SchemaFactory will abort the parsing and the caller of the newSchema method will receive the same RuntimeException.

When a new SchemaFactory object is created, initially this field is set to null. This field will NOT be inherited to Schemas, Validators, or ValidatorHandlers that are created from this SchemaFactory.
