public class XSDValidator
extends XMLMultiHandler
implements XSDConstantValues

XSDValidator validates instance XML document against an XMLSchema. When registered an XSDValidator object is inserted as a pipe-line node between XMLParser and XMLDocument events handler (SAXHandler or DOMBuilder). It works with three events: startElement, characters and endElement. If defined, default element and default attribute values are added to the events contents (as XMLSchema additions to infoset) and are propagated up. As far as XSDValidator is concerned the XMLSchema object is a set/group of element declaratioms whith following structure: [element(name)] -> [shode(min/maxOccurs)] -> [type(group/simpleType)] XSDValidator is implemented as stack based state machine. Each state represents element type - group or simpleType. XMLSchema object(as a group) is loaded as a first state. Current element(event startElement) is matched against current state group elements. If matched the element type element name and snode info are loaded as new state. In a case of group a vector of counters(int) is allocated in a parallel stack. This vector is used to count element occurances. State status could be: - NEW_STATE: just loaded and not tryed. - ACCEPTED: minOccurs satisfied. Could still accept element occurances. - DONE: maxOccurs satisfied. Doesn't accept element occurances. Text element contents(event characters) is matched against simpleType (method validateValue). End element (event endElement) is matched against last named state. XMLSchema attributes are represented as a group (attrName -> attrType) forming the contents of special element: <_attrTag> <attrName> attrType </attrName> ... </_attrTag> SMLParser converts attributes (event startElement) accordingly. (see method startElement)
