Class GrammarLoader

public class GrammarLoader extends Object

loads any supported grammar (except XML DTD) by automatically detecting the schema language.

The static version of loadVGM/loadSchema methods provides simple ways to load a grammar.

Another way to use GrammarLoader is

  1. To instanciate an object of GrammarLoader
  2. call setXXX methods to configure the parameters
  3. call loadSchema/loadVGM methods (possibly multiple times) to load grammars.
This approach will give you finer control.

Method Detail

getController

public Controller getController()

getPool

public ExpressionPool getPool()

getSAXParserFactory

public SAXParserFactory getSAXParserFactory()

getStrictCheck

public boolean getStrictCheck()

loadSchema

public static Grammar loadSchema(String url, GrammarReaderController controller, SAXParserFactory factory)
parses the specified schema and returns the result as a Grammar object.

Returns: null if there was an error in the grammar.

loadSchema

public static Grammar loadSchema(InputSource source, GrammarReaderController controller, SAXParserFactory factory)

loadSchema

public static Grammar loadSchema(String source, GrammarReaderController controller)
returns a thread-safe AGM object, depending on the language used.

loadSchema

public static Grammar loadSchema(InputSource source, GrammarReaderController controller)
returns a thread-safe AGM object, depending on the language used.

loadSchema

public static Grammar loadSchema(String url)
parses the specified schema and returns the result as a Grammar object. This method uses the default SAX parser and throws an exception if there is an error in the schema.

Returns: a non-null valid Grammar.

loadSchema

public static Grammar loadSchema(InputSource source)

loadVGM

public static REDocumentDeclaration loadVGM(String url, GrammarReaderController controller, SAXParserFactory factory)
parses the specified schema and returns the result as a VGM. This method is an utility method for those applications which don't need AGM (e.g., a single thread application).

Returns: null if there was an error in the grammar.

loadVGM

public static REDocumentDeclaration loadVGM(InputSource source, GrammarReaderController controller, SAXParserFactory factory)

loadVGM

public static REDocumentDeclaration loadVGM(String url)
parses the specified schema and returns the result as a VGM. This method uses the default SAX parser and throws an exception if there is an error in the schema.

Returns: non-null valid VGM object.

loadVGM

public static REDocumentDeclaration loadVGM(InputSource source)

parse

public Grammar parse(InputSource source)

parse

public Grammar parse(String url)

parseVGM

public REDocumentDeclaration parseVGM(String url)

parseVGM

public REDocumentDeclaration parseVGM(InputSource source)

setController

public void setController(GrammarReaderController controller)
sets the GrammarReaderController object that will control various aspects of the parsing. If not set, no error report will be done.

setPool

public void setPool(ExpressionPool pool)
Sets the ExpressionPool object that will be used during the loading process. If not set, a fresh one is used for each time the loadXXX method is called.

setSAXParserFactory

public void setSAXParserFactory(SAXParserFactory factory)
sets the factory object which is used to create XML parsers to parse schema files. The factory must be configured to namespace aware.

If no SAXParserFactory is set, then the default parser is used. (The parser that can be obtained by SAXParserFactory.newInstance()).

setStrictCheck

public void setStrictCheck(boolean value)
Sets the strict check flag. If set to true, schema readers will apply stricter checks so that it can find errors in the schema. If set to false, readers will skip some of the checks.

When this flag is set to false, which is the default, the reader may accept incorrect schemas.
