Defines additional accessor methods for the event source location.

This interface exposes the location information only available in the JAXB RI specific extension.

DO NOT IMPLEMENT THIS INTERFACE BY YOUR CODE because we might add more methods on this interface in the future release of the RI.

Usage

If you obtain a reference to jakarta.xml.bind.ValidationEventLocator, check if you can cast it to ValidationEventLocatorEx first, like this:

void foo( ValidationEvent e ) {
    ValidationEventLocator loc = e.getLocator();
    if( loc instanceof ValidationEventLocatorEx ) {
        String fieldName = ((ValidationEventLocatorEx)loc).getFieldName();
        if( fieldName!=null ) {
            // do something with location.
        }
    }
}
