Class ListingErrorHandler

java.lang.Object
org.apache.xml.utils.ListingErrorHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
ErrorListener, ErrorHandler

public class ListingErrorHandler extends Object implements ErrorHandler, ErrorListener
Sample implementation of similar SAX ErrorHandler and JAXP ErrorListener.

This implementation is suitable for various use cases, and provides some basic configuration API's as well to control when we re-throw errors, etc.

  • Method Details

    • warning

      public void warning(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException
      Receive notification of a warning.

      SAX parsers will use this method to report conditions that are not errors or fatal errors as defined by the XML 1.0 recommendation. The default behaviour is to take no action.

      The SAX parser must continue to provide normal parsing events after invoking this method: it should still be possible for the application to process the document through to the end.

      Filters may use this method to report other, non-XML warnings as well.

      Specified by:
      warning in interface ErrorHandler
      Parameters:
      exception - The warning information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
      Throws:
      SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception; only if setThrowOnWarning is true.
      See Also:
    • error

      public void error(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException
      Receive notification of a recoverable error.

      This corresponds to the definition of "error" in section 1.2 of the W3C XML 1.0 Recommendation. For example, a validating parser would use this callback to report the violation of a validity constraint. The default behaviour is to take no action.

      The SAX parser must continue to provide normal parsing events after invoking this method: it should still be possible for the application to process the document through to the end. If the application cannot do so, then the parser should report a fatal error even if the XML 1.0 recommendation does not require it to do so.

      Filters may use this method to report other, non-XML errors as well.

      Specified by:
      error in interface ErrorHandler
      Parameters:
      exception - The error information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
      Throws:
      SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception; only if setThrowOnErroris true.
      See Also:
    • fatalError

      public void fatalError(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException
      Receive notification of a non-recoverable error.

      This corresponds to the definition of "fatal error" in section 1.2 of the W3C XML 1.0 Recommendation. For example, a parser would use this callback to report the violation of a well-formedness constraint.

      The application must assume that the document is unusable after the parser has invoked this method, and should continue (if at all) only for the sake of collecting addition error messages: in fact, SAX parsers are free to stop reporting any other events once this method has been invoked.

      Specified by:
      fatalError in interface ErrorHandler
      Parameters:
      exception - The error information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
      Throws:
      SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception; only if setThrowOnFatalError is true.
      See Also:
    • warning

      public void warning(TransformerException exception) throws TransformerException
      Receive notification of a warning.

      Transformer can use this method to report conditions that are not errors or fatal errors. The default behaviour is to take no action.

      After invoking this method, the Transformer must continue with the transformation. It should still be possible for the application to process the document through to the end.

      Specified by:
      warning in interface ErrorListener
      Parameters:
      exception - The warning information encapsulated in a transformer exception.
      Throws:
      TransformerException - only if setThrowOnWarning is true.
      See Also:
    • error

      public void error(TransformerException exception) throws TransformerException
      Receive notification of a recoverable error.

      The transformer must continue to try and provide normal transformation after invoking this method. It should still be possible for the application to process the document through to the end if no other errors are encountered.

      Specified by:
      error in interface ErrorListener
      Parameters:
      exception - The error information encapsulated in a transformer exception.
      Throws:
      TransformerException - only if setThrowOnError is true.
      See Also:
    • fatalError

      public void fatalError(TransformerException exception) throws TransformerException
      Receive notification of a non-recoverable error.

      The transformer must continue to try and provide normal transformation after invoking this method. It should still be possible for the application to process the document through to the end if no other errors are encountered, but there is no guarantee that the output will be useable.

      Specified by:
      fatalError in interface ErrorListener
      Parameters:
      exception - The error information encapsulated in a transformer exception.
      Throws:
      TransformerException - only if setThrowOnError is true.
      See Also:
    • logExceptionLocation

      public static void logExceptionLocation(PrintWriter pw, Throwable exception)
      Print out location information about the exception. Cribbed from DefaultErrorHandler.printLocation()
      Parameters:
      pw - PrintWriter to send output to
      exception - TransformerException or SAXParseException to log information about
    • logSourceLine

      public static void logSourceLine(PrintWriter pw, SourceLocator locator)
      Print out the specific source line that caused the exception, if possible to load it.
      Parameters:
      pw - PrintWriter to send output to
      locator - Xalan wrapper for either a JAXP or a SAX source location object
    • setThrowOnWarning

      public void setThrowOnWarning(boolean b)
      User-settable behavior: when to re-throw exceptions.

      This allows per-instance configuration of ListingErrorHandlers. You can ask us to either throw an exception when we're called for various warning / error / fatalErrors, or simply log them and continue.

      Parameters:
      b - if we should throw an exception on warnings
    • getThrowOnWarning

      public boolean getThrowOnWarning()
      User-settable behavior: when to re-throw exceptions.
      Returns:
      if we throw an exception on warnings
    • setThrowOnError

      public void setThrowOnError(boolean b)
      User-settable behavior: when to re-throw exceptions.

      This allows per-instance configuration of ListingErrorHandlers. You can ask us to either throw an exception when we're called for various warning / error / fatalErrors, or simply log them and continue.

      Note that the behavior of many parsers/transformers after an error is not necessarily defined!

      Parameters:
      b - if we should throw an exception on errors
    • getThrowOnError

      public boolean getThrowOnError()
      User-settable behavior: when to re-throw exceptions.
      Returns:
      if we throw an exception on errors
    • setThrowOnFatalError

      public void setThrowOnFatalError(boolean b)
      User-settable behavior: when to re-throw exceptions.

      This allows per-instance configuration of ListingErrorHandlers. You can ask us to either throw an exception when we're called for various warning / error / fatalErrors, or simply log them and continue.

      Note that the behavior of many parsers/transformers after a fatalError is not necessarily defined, most products will probably barf if you continue.

      Parameters:
      b - if we should throw an exception on fatalErrors
    • getThrowOnFatalError

      public boolean getThrowOnFatalError()
      User-settable behavior: when to re-throw exceptions.
      Returns:
      if we throw an exception on fatalErrors
