<DL>
<DT>public abstract class <B>ValidatorHandler</B><DT>extends java.lang.Object<DT>implements <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html">ContentHandler</A></DL>
<P>
Streaming validator that works on SAX stream.
<p>
A <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> object is a thread-unsafe, non-reentrant object.
In other words, it is the application's responsibility to make
sure that one <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> object is not used from
more than one thread at any given time.
<p>
<A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> checks if the SAX events follow
the set of constraints described in the associated <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/Schema.html"><CODE>Schema</CODE></A>,
and additionally it may modify the SAX events (for example
by adding default values, etc.)
<p>
<A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> extends from <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A>,
but it refines the underlying <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A> in
the following way:
<ol>
<li>startElement/endElement events must receive non-null String
for <code>uri</code>, <code>localName</code>, and <code>qname</code>,
even though SAX allows some of them to be null.
Similarly, the user-specified <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A> will receive non-null
Strings for all three parameters.
<li>Applications must ensure that <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A>'s
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#startPrefixMapping(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)"><CODE>ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping(String,String)</CODE></A> and
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#endPrefixMapping(java.lang.String)"><CODE>ContentHandler.endPrefixMapping(String)</CODE></A> are invoked
properly. Similarly, the user-specified <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A>
will receive startPrefixMapping/endPrefixMapping events.
If the <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> introduces additional namespace
bindings, the user-specified <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A> will receive
additional startPrefixMapping/endPrefixMapping events.
<li><A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/Attributes.html"><CODE>Attributes</CODE></A> for the
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#startElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.xml.sax.Attributes)"><CODE>ContentHandler.startElement(String,String,String,Attributes)</CODE></A> method
may or may not include xmlns* attributes.
</ol>
<p>
A <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> is automatically reset every time
the startDocument method is invoked.
<h2>Recognized Properties and Features</h2>
<p>
This spec defines the following feature that must be recognized
by all <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> implementations.
<h3><code>http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes</code></h3>
<p>
This feature controls how a <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> introduces
namespace bindings that were not present in the original SAX event
stream.
When this feature is set to true, it must make
sure that the user's <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A> will see
the corresponding <code>xmlns*</code> attribute in
the <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/Attributes.html"><CODE>Attributes</CODE></A> object of the
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#startElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.xml.sax.Attributes)"><CODE>ContentHandler.startElement(String,String,String,Attributes)</CODE></A>
callback. Otherwise, <code>xmlns*</code> attributes must not be
added to <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/Attributes.html"><CODE>Attributes</CODE></A> that's passed to the
user-specified <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A>.
<p>
(Note that regardless of this switch, namespace bindings are
always notified to applications through
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#startPrefixMapping(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)"><CODE>ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping(String,String)</CODE></A> and
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#endPrefixMapping(java.lang.String)"><CODE>ContentHandler.endPrefixMapping(String)</CODE></A> methods of the
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A> specified by the user.)
<p>
Note that this feature does <em>NOT</em> affect the way
a <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> receives SAX events. It merely
changes the way it augments SAX events.
<p>This feature is set to <code>false</code> by default.</p>

<DL>
<DD>Sets the <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A> which receives
the augmented validation result.
<p>
When a <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A> is specified, a
<A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> will work as a filter
and basically copy the incoming events to the
specified <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A>.
<p>
In doing so, a <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> may modify
the events, for example by adding defaulted attributes.
<p>
A <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> may buffer events to certain
extent, but to allow <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> to be used
by a parser, the following requirement has to be met.
<ol>
<li>When
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#startElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.xml.sax.Attributes)"><CODE>ContentHandler.startElement(String, String, String, Attributes)</CODE></A>,
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#endElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)"><CODE>ContentHandler.endElement(String, String, String)</CODE></A>,
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#startDocument()"><CODE>ContentHandler.startDocument()</CODE></A>, or
<A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#endDocument()"><CODE>ContentHandler.endDocument()</CODE></A>
are invoked on a <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A>,
the same method on the user-specified <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A>
must be invoked for the same event before the callback
returns.
<li><A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> may not introduce new elements that
were not present in the input.
<li><A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> may not remove attributes that were
present in the input.
</ol>
<p>
When a callback method on the specified <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html"><CODE>ContentHandler</CODE></A>

<DD>Sets the <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ErrorHandler.html"><CODE>ErrorHandler</CODE></A> to receive errors encountered

<p>
Error handler can be used to customize the error handling process
during a validation. When an <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ErrorHandler.html"><CODE>ErrorHandler</CODE></A> is set,
errors found during the validation will be first sent
to the <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ErrorHandler.html"><CODE>ErrorHandler</CODE></A>.
<p>
The error handler can abort further validation immediately
by throwing <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/SAXException.html"><CODE>SAXException</CODE></A> from the handler. Or for example
it can print an error to the screen and try to continue the
validation by returning normally from the <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ErrorHandler.html"><CODE>ErrorHandler</CODE></A>
<p>
If any <CODE>Throwable</CODE> is thrown from an <A HREF="../../../org/xml/sax/ErrorHandler.html"><CODE>ErrorHandler</CODE></A>,
the same <CODE>Throwable</CODE> object will be thrown toward the
root of the call stack.
<p>
<A HREF="../../../javax/xml/validation/ValidatorHandler.html"><CODE>ValidatorHandler</CODE></A> is not allowed to
