This interface defines a method for checking whether a string is considered to be a valid URI.

A user-supplied implementation of this class can be set in a customized instance of ConversionRules, which can be set in the configuration using Configuration.setConversionRules(ConversionRules)

  • Method Details

    • isValidURI

      boolean isValidURI(String value)
      Check whether a given string is considered valid according to the rules of the xs:anyURI type.

      This method is called during schema validation, and when casting string to xs:anyURI. It is not used when the xs:anyURI type is used as a return value from methods such as namespace-uri() or namespace-uri-from-QName() - in such cases no checking is applied to the name.

      Parameters:
      value - the string to be checked
      Returns:
      true if the string is considered to represent a valid URI
