Class XMLErrorReporter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLComponent

public class XMLErrorReporter
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLComponent

This class is a common element of all parser configurations and is used to report errors that occur. This component can be queried by parser components from the component manager using the following property ID:

   http://apache.org/xml/properties/internal/error-reporter
 

Errors are separated into domains that categorize a class of errors. In a parser configuration, the parser would register a MessageFormatter for each domain that is capable of localizing error messages and formatting them based on information about the error. Any parser component can invent new error domains and register additional message formatters to localize messages in those domains.

This component requires the following features and properties from the component manager that uses it:

• http://apache.org/xml/properties/internal/error-handler

This component can use the following features and properties but they are not required:

• http://apache.org/xml/features/continue-after-fatal-error

Field Detail

SEVERITY_WARNING

public static final short SEVERITY_WARNING

Severity: warning. Warnings represent informational messages only that should not be considered serious enough to stop parsing or indicate an error in the document's validity.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SEVERITY_ERROR

public static final short SEVERITY_ERROR

Severity: error. Common causes of errors are document structure and/or content that that does not conform to the grammar rules specified for the document. These are typically validation errors.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR

public static final short SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR

Severity: fatal error. Fatal errors are errors in the syntax of the XML document or invalid byte sequences for a given encoding. The XML 1.0 Specification mandates that errors of this type are not recoverable.

Note: The parser does have a "continue after fatal error" feature but it should be used with extreme caution and care.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CONTINUE_AFTER_FATAL_ERROR

protected static final java.lang.String CONTINUE_AFTER_FATAL_ERROR

Feature identifier: continue after fatal error.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ERROR_HANDLER

protected static final java.lang.String ERROR_HANDLER

Property identifier: error handler.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

fLocale

protected java.util.Locale fLocale

The locale to be used to format error messages.

fMessageFormatters

protected java.util.Hashtable fMessageFormatters

Mapping of Message formatters for domains.

fErrorHandler

protected org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLErrorHandler fErrorHandler

Error handler.

fLocator

protected org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLLocator fLocator

Document locator.

fContinueAfterFatalError

protected boolean fContinueAfterFatalError

Continue after fatal error feature.

fDefaultErrorHandler

protected org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLErrorHandler fDefaultErrorHandler

Default error handler. This error handler is only used in the absence of a registered error handler so that errors are not "swallowed" silently. This is one of the most common "problems" reported by users of the parser.
