  protected TypeInfoProvider()

  Constructor for the derived class.

  The constructor does nothing.

Method Detail

• getElementTypeInfo

  public abstract TypeInfo getElementTypeInfo()

  Returns the immutable TypeInfo object for the current element.

  The method may only be called by the startElement event or the endElement event of the ContentHandler that the application sets to the ValidatorHandler.

  When W3C XML Schema validation is being performed, in the case where an element has a union type, the TypeInfo returned by a call to getElementTypeInfo() from the startElement event will be the union type. The TypeInfo returned by a call from the endElement event will be the actual member type used to validate the element.

  Returns:

  An immutable TypeInfo object that represents the type of the current element. Note that the caller can keep references to the obtained TypeInfo longer than the callback scope. Otherwise, this method returns null if the validator is unable to determine the type of the current element for some reason (for example, if the validator is recovering from an earlier error.)

  Throws:

  IllegalStateException - If this method is called from other ContentHandler methods.

• getAttributeTypeInfo

  public abstract TypeInfo getAttributeTypeInfo(int index)

  Returns the immutable TypeInfo object for the specified attribute of the current element.

  The method may only be called by the startElement event of the ContentHandler that the application sets to the ValidatorHandler.

  Parameters:

  index - The index of the attribute. The same index for the Attributes object passed to the startElement callback.

  Returns:

  An immutable TypeInfo object that represents the type of the specified attribute. Note that the caller can keep references to the obtained TypeInfo longer than the callback scope. Otherwise, this method returns null if the validator is unable to determine the type.

  Throws:

  IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the index is invalid.

  IllegalStateException - If this method is called from other ContentHandler methods.

• isIdAttribute

  public abstract boolean isIdAttribute(int index)

  Returns true if the specified attribute is determined to be ID.

  Exacly how an attribute is "determined to be ID" is up to the schema language. In case of W3C XML Schema, this means that the actual type of the attribute is the built-in ID type or its derived type.

  A DocumentBuilder uses this information to properly implement Attr.isId().

  The method may only be called by the startElement event of the ContentHandler that the application sets to the ValidatorHandler.

  Parameters:

  index - The index of the attribute. The same index for the Attributes object passed to the startElement callback.

  Returns:

  true if the type of the specified attribute is ID.

  Throws:

  IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the index is invalid.

  IllegalStateException - If this method is called from other ContentHandler methods.

• isSpecified

  public abstract boolean isSpecified(int index)

  Returns false if the attribute was added by the validator.

  This method provides information necessary for a DocumentBuilder to determine what the DOM tree should return from the Attr.getSpecified() method.

  The method may only be called by the startElement event of the ContentHandler that the application sets to the ValidatorHandler.

  A general guideline for validators is to return true if the attribute was originally present in the pipeline, and false if it was added by the validator.

  Parameters:

  index - The index of the attribute. The same index for the Attributes object passed to the startElement callback.

  Returns:

  true if the attribute was present before the validator processes input. false if the attribute was added by the validator.

  Throws:

  IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the index is invalid.

  IllegalStateException - If this method is called from other ContentHandler methods.
