Method Detail

createSchemaResolver

public static LSResourceResolver createSchemaResolver(URI schemaLanguage)

Creates a resource resolver suitable for locating schemas using an entity catalog. In effect, local copies of standard schemas are returned instead of retrieving them from external repositories.

Parameters:

schemaLanguage - A URI that identifies a schema language by namespace name.

Returns:

A LSResourceResolver object that is configured to use an OASIS entity catalog.

buildSchematronValidator

public static org.opengis.cite.validation.SchematronValidator buildSchematronValidator(String schemaRef,
                                                                                       String phase)

Constructs a SchematronValidator that will check an XML resource against the rules defined in a Schematron schema. An attempt is made to resolve the schema reference using an entity catalog; if this fails the reference is used as given.

Parameters:

schemaRef - A reference to a Schematron schema; this is expected to be a relative or absolute URI value, possibly matching the system identifier for some entry in an entity catalog.

phase - The name of the phase to invoke.

Returns:

A SchematronValidator instance, or null if the validator cannot be constructed (e.g. invalid schema reference or phase name).

extractSchemaReference

public static URI extractSchemaReference(Source source,
                                         String baseURI)
                                  throws XMLStreamException

Extracts an XML Schema reference from a source XML document. The resulting URI value refers to the schema whose target namespace matches the namespace of the document element.

Parameters:

source - The source instance to read from; its base URI (systemId) should be set. The document element is expected to include the standard xsi:schemaLocation attribute.

baseURI - An alternative base URI to use if the source does not have a system identifier set or if its system id is a file URI. This will usually be the URI used to retrieve the resource; it may be null.

Returns:

An absolute URI reference specifying the location of an XML Schema resource, or null if no reference is found.

Throws:

XMLStreamException - If an error occurs while reading the source instance.

createWFSSchema

public static Schema createWFSSchema()

Creates a single Schema object representing the complete set of XML Schema constraints that apply to WFS 2.0 message entities.

Returns:

An immutable Schema object, or null if one cannot be constructed.
