Class XMLErrorReporter

      +--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.

### 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.

### 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.

### CONTINUE_AFTER_FATAL_ERROR

    protected static final java.lang.String CONTINUE_AFTER_FATAL_ERROR

  Feature identifier: continue after fatal error.

### ERROR_HANDLER

    protected static final java.lang.String ERROR_HANDLER

  Property identifier: error handler.

### 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.
