Field Summary

static int	DT_IGNORE Constant indicating that datatypes semantics should be ignored.
static int	DT_NORMALIZE Constant indicating that values of datatyped literals should be normalized to their canonical representation.
static int	DT_VERIFY Constant indicating that values of datatyped literals should be verified.

Method Summary

void	setDatatypeHandling(int datatypeHandling) Sets the datatype handling mode.
void	setNamespaceListener(NamespaceListener nl) Sets the NamespaceListener that will be notified of any namespace declarations that the parser finds during parsing.
void	setParseErrorListener(ParseErrorListener el) Sets the ParseErrorListener that will be notified of any errors that this parser finds during parsing.
void	setParseLocationListener(ParseLocationListener ll) Sets the ParseLocationListener that will be notified of the parser's progress during the parse process.
void	setPreserveBNodeIds(boolean preserveBNodeIds) Set whether the parser should preserve bnode identifiers specified in the source (default is false).
void	setStopAtFirstError(boolean stopAtFirstError) Sets whether the parser should stop immediately if it finds an error in the data (default value is true).
void	setVerifyData(boolean verifyData) Sets whether the parser should verify the data it parses (default value is true).

Method Detail

setParseErrorListener

void setParseErrorListener(ParseErrorListener el)

Sets the ParseErrorListener that will be notified of any errors that this parser finds during parsing.

Parameters:

el - the error listener.

setParseLocationListener

void setParseLocationListener(ParseLocationListener ll)

Sets the ParseLocationListener that will be notified of the parser's progress during the parse process.

Parameters:

ll - the parser location listener.

setNamespaceListener

void setNamespaceListener(NamespaceListener nl)

Sets the NamespaceListener that will be notified of any namespace declarations that the parser finds during parsing.

Parameters:

nl - the namespace listener.

setVerifyData

void setVerifyData(boolean verifyData)

Sets whether the parser should verify the data it parses (default value is true).

Parameters:

verifyData - true to verify the data parsed in.

setPreserveBNodeIds

void setPreserveBNodeIds(boolean preserveBNodeIds)

Set whether the parser should preserve bnode identifiers specified in the source (default is false).

Parameters:

preserveBNodeIds - true to presever blank node identifier.

setStopAtFirstError

void setStopAtFirstError(boolean stopAtFirstError)

Sets whether the parser should stop immediately if it finds an error in the data (default value is true).

Parameters:

stopAtFirstError - true if an error should stop parsing.

setDatatypeHandling

void setDatatypeHandling(int datatypeHandling)

Sets the datatype handling mode. There are three modes for handling datatyped literals: ignore, verify and normalize. If set to ignore, no special action will be taken to handle datatyped literals. If set to verify (the default value), any literals with known (XML Schema built-in) datatypes are checked to see if their values are valid. If set to normalize, the literal values are not only checked, but also normalized to their canonical representation. The default value is verify.

Parameters:

datatypeHandling - One of the constants DT_IGNORE, DT_VERIFY or DT_NORMALIZE.
