A SchemaFactory
parses the textual representation of a
schema into a Schema object. Obtain a
SchemaFactory with the newInstance(
)
method, passing a string that identifies the type of schema you want
to parse. All implementations are required to support the
W3C XML
Schema language, which is identified by
XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URL. Other schema
types may also be supported, such as RELAX NG schemas, identified by
XMLConstants.RELAXNG_NS_URL.
To parse a schema, call the newSchema(
) method, passing the
File or
javax.xml.transform.Source object that identifies
the schema contents. For schemas in the W3C XML Schema language, you
may also specify an array of Source objects that
contain the schema definition. If you call newSchema(
) with no arguments, a special Schema
object is returned that expects the document to specify the location
of its own W3C XML Schema.
You can configure a SchemaFactory before calling
newSchema( ) with setErrorHandler(
) ,
setResourceResolver( ), setProperty(
), and setFeature(
).
public abstract class SchemaFactory {
// Protected Constructors
protected SchemaFactory( );
// Public Class Methods
public static final SchemaFactory newInstance(String schemaLanguage);
// Public Instance Methods
public abstract org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler getErrorHandler( );
public boolean getFeature(String name)
throws org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException,
org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException;
public Object getProperty(String name)
throws org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException,
org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException;
public abstract org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver getResourceResolver( );

}
