Interface XmlProcessingError

All Known Implementing Classes:

XmlProcessingException, XmlProcessingIncident

public interface XmlProcessingError

The XmlProcessingError class contains information about an error detected during compilation or execution of a stylesheet, query, XPath expression, or schema

Since:

10.0. In 11.0, the super-interface StaticError is dropped, as it had become misleading.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
XmlProcessingError	asWarning() Return an XmlProcessingError containing the same information, but to be treated as a warning condition
java.lang.Throwable	getCause() Return an underlying exception.
QName	getErrorCode() Get the error code, as a QName.
HostLanguage	getHostLanguage()
Location	getLocation() Get the location information associated with the error
java.lang.String	getMessage() Get the error message associated with this error
default java.lang.String	getModuleUri() Get The URI of the query or stylesheet module in which the error was detected (as a string) May be null if the location of the error is unknown, or if the error is not localized to a specific module, or if the module in question has no known URI (for example, if it was supplied as an anonymous Stream)
java.lang.String	getPath() Get the absolute XPath expression that identifies the node within its document where the error occurred, if available
java.lang.String	getTerminationMessage() Ask whether this error is to be treated as fatal, and return the associated message
boolean	isAlreadyReported() Ask whether this static error has already been reported
boolean	isStaticError() Ask whether this is a static error, defined as an error that can be detected during static analysis of a stylesheet, query, schema, or XPath expression.
boolean	isTypeError() Ask whether this is a type error.
boolean	isWarning() Ask whether this error is being reported as a warning condition.
void	setAlreadyReported(boolean reported) Say whether this error has already been reported
void	setTerminationMessage(java.lang.String message) Indicate that this error is to be treated as fatal; that is, execution will be abandoned after reporting this error.

Method Detail

getHostLanguage

HostLanguage getHostLanguage()

isStaticError

boolean isStaticError()

Ask whether this is a static error, defined as an error that can be detected during static analysis of a stylesheet, query, schema, or XPath expression.

Returns:

true if this is a static error

isTypeError

boolean isTypeError()

Ask whether this is a type error. Saxon reports type errors statically if it can establish that a supplied value will never satisfy the required type

Returns:

true if this is a type error

getErrorCode

QName getErrorCode()

Get the error code, as a QName. This may be null if no error code has been assigned

Returns:

QName

getMessage

java.lang.String getMessage()

Get the error message associated with this error

Returns:

String the error message

getLocation

Location getLocation()

Get the location information associated with the error

Returns:

the location of the error. The result is never null, though it may be a location with little useful information.

getModuleUri

default java.lang.String getModuleUri()

Get The URI of the query or stylesheet module in which the error was detected (as a string) May be null if the location of the error is unknown, or if the error is not localized to a specific module, or if the module in question has no known URI (for example, if it was supplied as an anonymous Stream)

Returns:

the URI identifying the location of the stylesheet module or query module

isWarning

boolean isWarning()

Ask whether this error is being reported as a warning condition. If so, applications may ignore the condition, though the results may not be as intended.

Returns:

true if a condition is detected that is not an error according to the language specification, but which may indicate that the query or stylesheet might behave in unexpected ways

getPath

java.lang.String getPath()

Get the absolute XPath expression that identifies the node within its document where the error occurred, if available

Returns:

a path expression identifying the location of the error within an XML document, or null if the information is not available

getCause

java.lang.Throwable getCause()

Return an underlying exception. For example, if the static error was caused by failure to retrieve another stylesheet or query module, this may contain the IO exception that was reported; or if the XML parser was unable to parse a stylesheet module, it may contain a SAXException reported by the parser.

Returns:

the underlying exception if there was one, or null otherwise

asWarning

XmlProcessingError asWarning()

Return an XmlProcessingError containing the same information, but to be treated as a warning condition

setTerminationMessage

void setTerminationMessage(java.lang.String message)

Indicate that this error is to be treated as fatal; that is, execution will be abandoned after reporting this error. This method may be called by an ErrorReporter, for example if the error is considered so severe that further processing is not worthwhile, or if too many errors have been signalled. There is no absolute guarantee that setting this property will cause execution to be abandoned. If a dynamic error is marked as fatal, it will generally not be caught by any try/catch mechanism within the stylesheet or query.

getTerminationMessage

java.lang.String getTerminationMessage()

Ask whether this error is to be treated as fatal, and return the associated message

Returns:

a non-null message if the error has been marked as a fatal error.

isAlreadyReported

boolean isAlreadyReported()

Ask whether this static error has already been reported

Returns:

true if the error has already been reported

setAlreadyReported

void setAlreadyReported(boolean reported)

Say whether this error has already been reported

Parameters:

reported - true if the error has been reported
