Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static final int	BY_TYPE	Code indicating that validation against a named type was requested
static final int	DEFAULT	Code indicating that no specific validation options were requested
static final int	INVALID	Code indicating that the value of a validation request was invalid
static final int	LAX	Code for lax validation
static final int	PRESERVE	Code corresponding to the XSLT option validation=preserve, which indicates that existing type annotations are to be preserved but no new validation is performed.
static final int	SKIP	Synonym for STRIP, corresponding to XQuery usage
static final int	STRICT	Code for strict validation
static final int	STRIP	Code corresponding to the XSLT option validation=strip, which indicates that existing type annotations are to be removed and no new validation is performed.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static String	describe(int value)	Get a string representation of a validation code
