Class SchemaManager

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.s9api.SchemaManager

    public class SchemaManager

extends Object

The SchemaManager is used to load schema documents, and to set options for the way in which they are loaded. At present all the resulting schema components are held in a single pool owned by the Processor object.

Constructor Summary
`protected` `SchemaManager(Configuration config)`

Method Summary
`void` `exportComponents(Destination destination)` Export a precompiled Schema Component Model containing all the components (except built-in components) that have been loaded into this Processor.
`ErrorListener` `getErrorListener()` Get the ErrorListener being used while loading and validating schema documents
`SchemaURIResolver` `getSchemaURIResolver()` Get the SchemaURIResolver to be used during schema loading.
`void` `importComponents(Source source)` Import a precompiled Schema Component Model from a given Source.
`void` `load(Source source)` Load a schema document from a given Source.
`SchemaValidator` `newSchemaValidator()` Create a SchemaValidator which can be used to validate instance documents against the schema held by this SchemaManager
`void` `setErrorListener(ErrorListener listener)` Set the ErrorListener to be used while loading and validating schema documents
`void` `setSchemaURIResolver(SchemaURIResolver resolver)` Set the SchemaURIResolver to be used during schema loading.

Constructor Detail

### SchemaManager

    protected SchemaManager(Configuration config)

Method Detail

### setErrorListener

    public void setErrorListener(ErrorListener listener)

  Set the ErrorListener to be used while loading and validating schema documents

  Parameters:
    `listener` - The error listener to be used. This is notified of all errors detected during the compilation.

### getErrorListener

    public ErrorListener getErrorListener()

  Get the ErrorListener being used while loading and validating schema documents

  Returns:
    listener The error listener in use. This is notified of all errors detected during the compilation. Returns null if no user-supplied ErrorListener has been set.

### setSchemaURIResolver

    public void setSchemaURIResolver(SchemaURIResolver resolver)

  Set the SchemaURIResolver to be used during schema loading. This SchemaURIResolver, despite its name, is not used for resolving relative URIs against a base URI; it is used for dereferencing an absolute URI (after resolution) to return a `Source` representing the location where a schema document can be found.

  This SchemaURIResolver is used to dereference the URIs appearing in `xs:import`, `xs:include`, and `xs:redefine` declarations.

  Parameters:
    `resolver` - the SchemaURIResolver to be used during schema loading.

### getSchemaURIResolver

    public SchemaURIResolver getSchemaURIResolver()

  Get the SchemaURIResolver to be used during schema loading.

  Returns:
    the URIResolver used during stylesheet compilation. Returns null if no user-supplied URIResolver has been set.

### load

    public void load(Source source)
              throws SaxonApiException

  Load a schema document from a given Source. The schema components derived from this schema document are added to the cache of schema components maintained by this SchemaManager

  Parameters:
    `source` - the document containing the schema. The getSystemId() method applied to this Source must return a base URI suitable for resolving `xs:include` and `xs:import` directives.
  Throws:
    `SaxonApiException` - if the schema document is not valid, or if its contents are inconsistent with the schema components already held by this SchemaManager.

### importComponents

    public void importComponents(Source source)
                          throws SaxonApiException

  Import a precompiled Schema Component Model from a given Source. The schema components derived from this schema document are added to the cache of schema components maintained by this SchemaManager

  Parameters:
    `source` - the XML file containing the schema component model, as generated by a previous call on `exportComponents(net.sf.saxon.s9api.Destination)`
  Throws:
    `SaxonApiException`

### exportComponents

    public void exportComponents(Destination destination)
                          throws SaxonApiException

  Export a precompiled Schema Component Model containing all the components (except built-in components) that have been loaded into this Processor.

  Parameters:
    `destination` - the destination to recieve the precompiled Schema Component Model in the form of an XML document
  Throws:
    `SaxonApiException`

### newSchemaValidator

    public SchemaValidator newSchemaValidator()

  Create a SchemaValidator which can be used to validate instance documents against the schema held by this SchemaManager

  Returns:
    a new SchemaValidator
