Class XmlValidationError

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

    public class XmlValidationError
    extends XmlError
    The XmlValidationError class extends the XmlErrorXMLError class. The XML Validator contains extra attributes that can be used to construct the XML validation error programmatically.

    To extract the validation error cast the errors to XmlValidationError instead of XmlError for example:

     xobj.validate(new XmlOptions().setErrorListener(errors))
     for (Iterator<XmlError> it = errors.iterator(); it.hasNext(); )
     {
          XmlError err = it.next());
          if (err instanceof XmlValidationError)
          {
              XmlValidationError validationError = (XmlValidationError) err;
         }
     }
    
    Whenever an XmlValidationError is retrieved it will always be populated with the following information:
    • Message
    • Severity
    • Error Type

    The error type is very important because the other attributes of the XMLValidationError are populated based on the error type.

    if errortype == INCORRECT_ELEMENT then
    offendingQName, badSchemaType will always be present, however expectedSchemaType and expectedQNames are available only if it is possible to determine them during vaildation.

    if errortype == ELEMENT_NOT_ALLOWED then
    badSchemaType will always be present, however expectedSchemaType and offendingQName are available only if it is possible to determine them during vaildation.

    if errortype == INCORRECT_ATTRIBUTE then
    offendingQName, badSchemaType will always be present

    if errortype == ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INVALID then
    no other addtional attributes are populated

    if errortype == LIST_INVALID then
    expectedSchemaType will always be present

    if errortype == UNION_INVALID then
    expectedSchemaType will always be present

    if errortype == NIL_ELEMENT then
    offendingQName, expectedSchemaType and badSchemaType will always be present

    if errortype == ELEMENT_TYPE_INVALID then
    offendingQName will always be present, other attributes may be available
