Method Detail

validateRoot

public boolean validateRoot(java.lang.Object rootObject)
                     throws JAXBException

Validate a root object against a schema.

Specified by:

validateRoot in interface Validator

Parameters:

rootObject - - the root object to be validated

Returns:

true if a valid root object, false otherwise

Throws:

JAXBException

ValidationException - If the ValidationEventHandler returns false from its handleEvent method or the Validator is unable to validate the content tree rooted at rootObj

validate

public boolean validate(java.lang.Object object)
                 throws JAXBException

Validate a non-root object against a schema.

Specified by:

validate in interface Validator

Parameters:

object - - the object to be validated

Returns:

true if a valid object, false otherwise

Throws:

JAXBException

ValidationException - If the ValidationEventHandler returns false from its handleEvent method or the Validator is unable to validate the content tree rooted at subrootObj

setEventHandler

public void setEventHandler(ValidationEventHandler newValidationEventHandler)
                     throws JAXBException

Description copied from interface: Validator

Allow an application to register a validation event handler.

The validation event handler will be called by the JAXB Provider if any validation errors are encountered during calls to validate. If the client application does not register a validation event handler before invoking the validate method, then validation events will be handled by the default event handler which will terminate the validate operation after the first error or fatal error is encountered.

Calling this method with a null parameter will cause the Validator to revert back to the default default event handler.

Specified by:

setEventHandler in interface Validator

Parameters:

newValidationEventHandler - the validation event handler

Throws:

JAXBException - if an error was encountered while setting the event handler

getEventHandler

public ValidationEventHandler getEventHandler()
                                       throws JAXBException

Description copied from interface: Validator

Return the current event handler or the default event handler if one hasn't been set.

Specified by:

getEventHandler in interface Validator

Returns:

the current ValidationEventHandler or the default event handler if it hasn't been set

Throws:

JAXBException - if an error was encountered while getting the current event handler

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String key,
                        java.lang.Object value)
                 throws PropertyException

Description copied from interface: Validator

Set the particular property in the underlying implementation of Validator. This method can only be used to set one of the standard JAXB defined properties above or a provider specific property. Attempting to set an undefined property will result in a PropertyException being thrown. See Supported Properties.

Specified by:

setProperty in interface Validator

Parameters:

key - the name of the property to be set. This value can either be specified using one of the constant fields or a user supplied string.

value - the value of the property to be set

Throws:

PropertyException - when there is an error processing the given property or value

getProperty

public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String key)
                             throws PropertyException

Description copied from interface: Validator

Get the particular property in the underlying implementation of Validator. This method can only be used to get one of the standard JAXB defined properties above or a provider specific property. Attempting to get an undefined property will result in a PropertyException being thrown. See Supported Properties.

Specified by:

getProperty in interface Validator

Parameters:

key - the name of the property to retrieve

Returns:

the value of the requested property

Throws:
