Class VerifierFilter

java.lang.Object

org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl

com.sun.msv.verifier.VerifierFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

IVerifier, org.iso_relax.verifier.VerifierHandler, org.xml.sax.ContentHandler, org.xml.sax.DTDHandler, org.xml.sax.EntityResolver, org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler, org.xml.sax.XMLFilter, org.xml.sax.XMLReader

public class VerifierFilter
extends org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl
implements IVerifier

SAX XMLFilter that verifies incoming SAX event stream. This object can be reused to validate multiple documents. Just be careful NOT to use the same object to validate more than one documents at the same time.

Field Detail

verifier

private final IVerifier verifier

Constructor Detail

VerifierFilter

public VerifierFilter(IVerifier verifier)

Parameters:

verifier - Verifier object that performs actual validation.

VerifierFilter

public VerifierFilter(DocumentDeclaration documentDecl,
                      org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler errorHandler)

Method Detail

isValid

public boolean isValid()

Description copied from interface: IVerifier

checks if the document was valid. This method may not be called before verification was completed.

Specified by:

isValid in interface IVerifier

Specified by:

isValid in interface org.iso_relax.verifier.VerifierHandler

getCurrentElementType

public java.lang.Object getCurrentElementType()

Description copied from interface: IVerifier

returns current element type. Actual java type depends on the implementation. This method works correctly only when called immediately after handling startElement event.

Specified by:

getCurrentElementType in interface IVerifier

Returns:

null this method returns null when it doesn't support type-assignment feature, or type-assignment is impossible for the current element (for example due to the ambiguous grammar).

getLastCharacterType

public org.relaxng.datatype.Datatype[] getLastCharacterType()

Description copied from interface: IVerifier

gets DataType that validated the last characters.

This method works correctly only when called immediately after startElement and endElement method. When called, this method returns DataType object that validated the last character literals.

For RELAX NG grammar, this method can return an array of length 2 or more. This happens when the last character matches <list> pattern. In that case, each type corresponds to each token (where tokens are the white-space separation of the last characters).

For any other grammar, this method always returns an array of length 1 (or null, if the type assignment failed).

So when you are using VerifierFilter, you can call this method only in your startElement and endElement method.

Specified by:

getLastCharacterType in interface IVerifier

Returns:

null if type-assignment was not possible.

getLocator

public final org.xml.sax.Locator getLocator()

Specified by:

getLocator in interface IVerifier

getErrorHandler

public final org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler getErrorHandler()

Specified by:

getErrorHandler in interface IVerifier

Specified by:

getErrorHandler in interface org.xml.sax.XMLReader

Overrides:

getErrorHandler in class org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl

setErrorHandler

public final void setErrorHandler(org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler handler)

Specified by:

setErrorHandler in interface IVerifier

Specified by:

setErrorHandler in interface org.xml.sax.XMLReader

Overrides:

setErrorHandler in class org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl

setPanicMode

public final void setPanicMode(boolean usePanicMode)

Description copied from interface: IVerifier

Turns on/off the panic mode. Panic mode is on by default. Turning it on is good for general use. It prevents false error messages to appear.

However, turning it off is sometimes useful, when you are sure that the structure of the document is almost valid (e.g., validating a document generated by an application or when you are sure about the validity of the structure and only interested in validating datatypes,)

Specified by:

setPanicMode in interface IVerifier
