public interface ValidationEventLocator

The ValidationEventLocator is an abstract description of the place where a ValidationEvent occurred.

Depending on the source or target media (Unmarshalling, or Unmarshalling) or the object being validated, you will most probably find that different fields of the ValidationEventHandler are set. For example, if you are using a org.xml.sax.ContentHandler, you will most probably find that those fields are set, which are common to a org.xml.sax.Locator.

Since:
JAXB1.0

Method Detail

getURL

public java.net.URL getURL()

Returns a URL related to the validation event, if available. For example, when parsing an org.xml.sax.InputSource, this might be the URL given by InputSource.getSystemId()>InputSource.getSystemId() 55 .


getOffset

public int getOffset()

Returns a byte offset related to the validation event, if available. For example, when parsing an java.io.InputStream, this might be the position where the event occurred.


getLineNumber

public int getLineNumber()

Returns a line number related to the validation event, if available. For example, when parsing an java.io.InputStream, this might be the line, in which the event occurred.


getColumnNumber

public int getColumnNumber()

Returns a column number related to the validation event, if available. For example, when parsing an java.io.InputStream, this might be the column, in which the event occurred.


getObject

public java.lang.Object getObject()

Returns an object in the JAXB objects content tree related to the validation event. Usually this is the invalid object or child object.


getNode

public org.w3c.dom.Node getNode()

Returns a DOM node related to the validation event. For example, this might be an element node with a missing attribute. It might as well be an attribute node with an invalid value.
