public interface: DOMError [javadoc | source]

All Known Implementing Classes:
    DOMErrorImpl

DOMError is an interface that describes an error.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Field Summary
public static final  short SEVERITY_WARNING    The severity of the error described by the DOMError is warning. A SEVERITY_WARNING will not cause the processing to stop, unless DOMErrorHandler.handleError() returns false. 
public static final  short SEVERITY_ERROR    The severity of the error described by the DOMError is error. A SEVERITY_ERROR may not cause the processing to stop if the error can be recovered, unless DOMErrorHandler.handleError() returns false. 
public static final  short SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR    The severity of the error described by the DOMError is fatal error. A SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR will cause the normal processing to stop. The return value of DOMErrorHandler.handleError() is ignored unless the implementation chooses to continue, in which case the behavior becomes undefined. 
Method from org.w3c.dom.DOMError Summary:
getLocation,   getMessage,   getRelatedData,   getRelatedException,   getSeverity,   getType
Method from org.w3c.dom.DOMError Detail:
 public DOMLocator getLocation()
    The location of the error.
 public String getMessage()
    An implementation specific string describing the error that occurred.
 public Object getRelatedData()
    The related DOMError.type dependent data if any.
 public Object getRelatedException()
    The related platform dependent exception if any.
 public short getSeverity()
    The severity of the error, either SEVERITY_WARNING,
SEVERITY_ERROR, or SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR.
 public String getType()
    A DOMString indicating which related data is expected in
relatedData. Users should refer to the specification of
the error in order to find its DOMString type and
relatedData definitions if any.

    Note: As an example,
Document.normalizeDocument() does generate warnings when
the "split-cdata-sections" parameter is in use. Therefore, the method
generates a SEVERITY_WARNING with type
"cdata-sections-splitted" and the first
CDATASection node in document order resulting from the
split is returned by the relatedData attribute.
