Class Validator

java.lang.Object

org.custommonkey.xmlunit.jaxp13.Validator

public class Validator
extends Object

Validator class based of javax.xml.validation.

This class provides support for validating schema definitions as well as instance documents. It defaults to the W3C XML Schema 1.0 but can be used to validate against any schema language supported by your SchemaFactory implementation.

An implementation detail of javax.xml.validation.Validator leaks into this class: any xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noSchemaLocation attribute of the instance document will be ignored if any schema source has been set. This means you must either specify all sources or none of them to successfully validate instances.

public Validator(SchemaFactory factory)

validates using the specified schema factory.

Validator

protected Validator(String schemaLanguage,
         SchemaFactory factory)

validates using the specified schema language or factory.

Parameters:

schemaLanguage - the schema language to use - see SchemaFactory.

factory - the concrete factory to use. If this is non-null, the first argument will be ignored.

Method Detail

addSchemaSource

public void addSchemaSource(Source s)

Adds a source for the schema defintion.

isSchemaValid

public boolean isSchemaValid()

Is the given schema definition valid?

getSchemaErrors

public List<SAXParseException> getSchemaErrors()

Obtain a list of all errors in the schema defintion.

The list contains SAXParseExceptions.

isInstanceValid

public boolean isInstanceValid(Source instance)

Is the given schema instance valid according to the configured schema definition(s)?

Throws:

XMLUnitRuntimeException - if the schema definition is invalid or the Source is a SAXSource and the underlying XMLReader throws an IOException (see validate in Validator).

getInstanceErrors

public List<SAXParseException> getInstanceErrors(Source instance)

Obtain a list of all errors in the given instance.

The list contains SAXParseExceptions.

Throws:

XMLUnitRuntimeException - if the schema definition is invalid or the Source is a SAXSource and the underlying XMLReader throws an IOException (see validate in Validator).
