javax.xml.bind.util.ValidationEventCollector

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValidationEventHandler

public class ValidationEventCollector
extends Object
implements ValidationEventHandler

ValidationEventHandler implementation that collects all events.

To use this class, create a new instance and pass it to the setEventHandler method of the Validator, Unmarshaller, Marshaller class. After the call to validate or unmarshal completes, call the getEvents method to retrieve all the reported errors and warnings.

Since:

JAXB1.0

Returns:

true if this event collector contains at least one ValidationEvent, false otherwise

handleEvent

public boolean handleEvent(ValidationEvent event)

Description copied from interface: ValidationEventHandler

Receive notification of a validation warning or error. The ValidationEvent will have a ValidationEventLocator embedded in it that indicates where the error or warning occurred.

If an unchecked runtime exception is thrown from this method, the JAXB provider will treat it as if the method returned false and interrupt the current unmarshal, validate, or marshal operation.

Specified by:

handleEvent in interface ValidationEventHandler

Parameters:

event - the encapsulated validation event information. It is a provider error if this parameter is null.

Returns:

true if the JAXB Provider should attempt to continue the current unmarshal, validate, or marshal operation after handling this warning/error, false if the provider should terminate the current operation with the appropriate UnmarshalException, ValidationException, or MarshalException.
