Class SchemaManager

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    SchemaManagerImpl

    public abstract class SchemaManager
    extends java.lang.Object
    The SchemaManager is used to load schema documents, and to set options for the way in which they are loaded. At present all the resulting schema components are held in a single pool owned by the Processor object.

    To obtain a SchemaManager, use the method Processor.getSchemaManager().

    In a schema-aware Processor there is exactly one SchemaManager (in a non-schema-aware Processor there is none).

    The cache of compiled schema definitions can include only one schema component (for example a type, or an element declaration) with any given name. An attempt to compile two different schemas in the same namespace will usually therefore fail.

    As soon as a type definition or element declaration is used for the first time in a validation episode, it is marked as being "sealed": this prevents subsequent modifications to the component. Examples of modifications that are thereby disallowed include adding to the substitution group of an existing element declaration, adding subtypes to an existing type, or redefining components using <xs:redefine>

      • setXsdVersion

        public abstract void setXsdVersion​(java.lang.String version)
        Set the version of XSD in use. The value must be "1.0" or "1.1". The default is currently "1.0", but this may change in a future release.
        Parameters:
        version - the version of the XSD specification/language: either "1.0" or "1.1".
      • getXsdVersion

        public abstract java.lang.String getXsdVersion()
        Get the version of XSD in use. The value will be "1.0" or "1.1"
        Returns:
        the version of XSD in use.
      • setErrorListener

        @Deprecated
        public abstract void setErrorListener​(javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener listener)
        Deprecated.
        Set the ErrorListener to be used while loading and validating schema documents
        Parameters:
        listener - The error listener to be used. This is notified of all errors detected during the compilation. May be set to null to revert to the default ErrorListener.
      • getErrorListener

        @Deprecated
        public abstract javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener getErrorListener()
        Deprecated.
        since 10.0. Use getErrorReporter()
        Get the ErrorListener being used while loading and validating schema documents
        Returns:
        listener The error listener in use. This is notified of all errors detected during the compilation. Returns null if no user-supplied ErrorListener has been set.
      • setErrorReporter

        public abstract void setErrorReporter​(ErrorReporter reporter)
      • getErrorReporter

        public abstract ErrorReporter getErrorReporter()
      • setSchemaURIResolver

        public abstract void setSchemaURIResolver​(SchemaURIResolver resolver)
        Set the SchemaURIResolver to be used during schema loading. This SchemaURIResolver, despite its name, is not used for resolving relative URIs against a base URI; it is used for dereferencing an absolute URI (after resolution) to return a Source representing the location where a schema document can be found.

        This SchemaURIResolver is used to dereference the URIs appearing in xs:import, xs:include, and xs:redefine declarations.

        Parameters:
        resolver - the SchemaURIResolver to be used during schema loading.
      • getSchemaURIResolver

        public abstract SchemaURIResolver getSchemaURIResolver()
        Get the SchemaURIResolver to be used during schema loading.
        Returns:
        the URIResolver used during stylesheet compilation. Returns null if no user-supplied URIResolver has been set.
      • load

        public abstract void load​(javax.xml.transform.Source source)
                           throws SaxonApiException
        Load a schema document from a given Source. The schema components derived from this schema document are added to the cache of schema components maintained by this SchemaManager
        Parameters:
        source - the document containing the schema. The getSystemId() method applied to this Source must return a base URI suitable for resolving xs:include and xs:import directives. The document may be either a schema document in source XSD format, or a compiled schema in Saxon-defined SCM format (as produced using the -export option)
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if the schema document is not valid, or if its contents are inconsistent with the schema components already held by this SchemaManager.
      • load

        public void load​(java.io.File file)
                  throws SaxonApiException
        Load a schema document from a given File. The schema components derived from this schema document are added to the cache of schema components maintained by this SchemaManager
        Parameters:
        file - the document containing the schema. The getSystemId() method applied to this Source must return a base URI suitable for resolving xs:include and xs:import directives. The document may be either a schema document in source XSD format, or a compiled schema in Saxon-defined SCM format (as produced using the -export option)
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if the schema document is not valid, or if its contents are inconsistent with the schema components already held by this SchemaManager.
        Since:
        12.0
      • importComponents

        public abstract void importComponents​(javax.xml.transform.Source source)
                                       throws SaxonApiException
        Import a precompiled Schema Component Model from a given Source. The schema components derived from this schema document are added to the cache of schema components maintained by this SchemaManager
        Parameters:
        source - the XML file containing the schema component model, as generated by a previous call on exportComponents(net.sf.saxon.s9api.Destination)
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if a failure occurs loading the schema from the supplied source
      • exportComponents

        public abstract void exportComponents​(Destination destination)
                                       throws SaxonApiException
        Export a precompiled Schema Component Model containing all the components (except built-in components) that have been loaded into this Processor.
        Parameters:
        destination - the destination to recieve the precompiled Schema Component Model in the form of an XML document
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if a failure occurs writing the schema components to the supplied destination
      • newSchemaValidator

        public abstract SchemaValidator newSchemaValidator()
        Create a SchemaValidator which can be used to validate instance documents against the schema held by this SchemaManager
