Class ErrorType

All Implemented Interfaces:
DatabindableDatatype, XSDatatype, Serializable, org.relaxng.datatype.Datatype

public class ErrorType extends BuiltinAtomicType
A dummy datatype that can be used to recover from errors. This datatype accepts any values and any facets. The TypeIncubator class also recognizes this class and any operation on ErrorType will never cause any error and silently return another ErrorType.

    • _createValue

      protected Object _createValue(String content, org.relaxng.datatype.ValidationContext context)
      Description copied from class: XSDatatypeImpl
      converts a whitespace-processed lexical value into the corresponding value object
      Specified by:
      _createValue in class XSDatatypeImpl
    • checkFormat

      protected boolean checkFormat(String literal, org.relaxng.datatype.ValidationContext context)
      Specified by:
      checkFormat in class XSDatatypeImpl
    • convertToLexicalValue

      public String convertToLexicalValue(Object valueObject, SerializationContext context) throws IllegalArgumentException
      Description copied from interface: XSDatatype
      converts value object back to the corresponding value in the lexical space.

      This method does the reverse operation of the createValue method. The returned string is not necessarily the canonical representation. Also note that the implementation may accept invalid values without throwing IllegalArgumentException. To make sure that the result is actually a valid representation, call the isValid method.

      Be careful not to confuse this method with The serializeJavaObject method, which is defined in the DatabindableDatatype method.

      context - Context information that will be possibly used for the conversion. Currently, this object is used only by QName, but may be extended in the future.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the type of the given object is not the expected one. For example, this exception is thrown if you pass a BigInteger object to the "gYear" type.
    • isFacetApplicable

      public int isFacetApplicable(String facetName)
      Description copied from interface: XSDatatype
      returns if the specified facet is applicable to this datatype.
      Returns:
      APPLICABLE
      if the facet is applicable
      FIXED
      if the facet is already fixed (that is,not applicable)
      NOT_ALLOWED
      if the facet is not applicable to this datatype at all. this value is also returned for unknown facets.
    • getBaseType

      public XSDatatype getBaseType()
      Description copied from interface: XSDatatype
      gets the base type of this type. This method returns null if this object represents the simple ur-type.

      This method is intended to capture the semantics of the base type definition property of the simple type component, but there is an important difference.

      Specifically, if you derive a type D from another type B, then calling D.getBaseType() does not necessarily return B. Instead, it may return an intermediate object (that represents a facet). Calling the getBaseType method recursively will eventually return B.

    • getJavaObjectType

      public Class getJavaObjectType()
      Description copied from interface: DatabindableDatatype
      gets the type of the objects that are created by the createJavaObject method.
