Constructor Detail

### ValidatorImpl

    public ValidatorImpl(PipelineConfiguration pipe,
                         PreparedSchema schema)

Method Detail

### reset

    public void reset()

  Specified by:
    `reset` in class `Validator`

### validate

    public void validate(Source source,
                         Result result)
                  throws SAXException,
                         IOException

  Specified by:
    `validate` in class `Validator`
  Throws:
    `SAXException`
    `IOException`

### setErrorHandler

    public void setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler errorHandler)

  Specified by:
    `setErrorHandler` in class `Validator`

### getErrorHandler

    public ErrorHandler getErrorHandler()

  Specified by:
    `getErrorHandler` in class `Validator`

### setResourceResolver

    public void setResourceResolver(LSResourceResolver resourceResolver)

  Sets the `LSResourceResolver` to customize resource resolution while in a validation episode.

  Specified by:
    `setResourceResolver` in class `Validator`
  Parameters:
    `resourceResolver` - A new resource resolver to be set. This parameter can be null.

### getResourceResolver

    public LSResourceResolver getResourceResolver()

  Gets the current `LSResourceResolver`

  Specified by:
    `getResourceResolver` in class `Validator`
  Returns:
    This method returns the object that was last set through the `setResourceResolver(org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver)` method, or null if that method has never been called

### getConfiguration

    public Configuration getConfiguration()

  Get the underlying Saxon Configuration object

### getProperty

    public Object getProperty(String name)
                       throws SAXNotRecognizedException,
                              SAXNotSupportedException

  Look up the value of a property.

  The property name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a `Validator` to recognize a property name but temporarily be unable to return its value. Some property values may be available only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a validation.

  `Validator`s are not required to recognize any specific property names.

  In the Saxon implementation, the property names that are recognized are the same as the attribute names recognised by a `TransformerFactory`. These are listed as constant fields in the class `FeatureKeys`

  Overrides:
    `getProperty` in class `Validator`
  Parameters:
    `name` - The property name, which is a non-null fully-qualified URI.
  Returns:
    The current value of the property.
  Throws:
    `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.
    `NullPointerException` - When the name parameter is null.
  See Also:
    `setProperty(String, Object)`

### setProperty

    public void setProperty(String name,
                            Object object)
                     throws SAXNotRecognizedException,
                            SAXNotSupportedException

  Set the value of a property.

  The property name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for a `Validator` to recognize a property name but to be unable to change the current value. Some property values may be immutable or mutable only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a validation.

  In the Saxon implementation, the property names that are recognized are the same as the attribute names recognised by a `TransformerFactory`. These are listed as constant fields in the class `FeatureKeys`

  Overrides:
    `setProperty` in class `Validator`
  Parameters:
    `name` - The property name, which is a non-null fully-qualified URI.
    `object` - The requested value for the property.
  Throws:
    `SAXNotRecognizedException` - If the property value can't be assigned or retrieved.
    `SAXNotSupportedException` - When the `Validator` recognizes the property name but cannot set the requested value.
    `NullPointerException` - When the name parameter is null.
