XmlSchemaClean

Clean up loaded schemas in a schema context and recycle the schema context.


Syntax
void XmlSchemaClean(
   xsdctx *sctx);

Parameter In/Out Description
sctx
IN
schema context to be cleaned


XmlSchemaCreate

Return a schema context to be used in other validator APIs. This needs to be paired with an XmlSchemaDestroy.


Syntax
xsdctx *XmlSchemaCreate(
   xmlctx *xctx, 
   xmlerr *err, 
list);

Parameter In/Out Description
xctx
IN
XML context
err
OUT
returned error code
list
IN
NULL-terminated list of variable arguments


Returns

(xsdctx *) schema context


XmlSchemaDestroy

Destroy a schema context and free up all its resources.


Syntax
void XmlSchemaDestroy(
   xsdctx *sctx);

Parameter In/Out Description
sctx
IN
schema context to be freed


See Also:

XmlSchemaCreate


XmlSchemaErrorWhere

Returns the location (line#, path) where an error occurred.


Syntax
xmlerr XmlSchemaErrorWhere(
   xsdctx *sctx, 
   ub4 *line, 
   oratext **path);

Parameter In/Out Description
sctx
IN
schema context
line
IN/OUT
line number where error occurred
path
IN/OUT
URL or filespace where error occurred


Returns

(xmlerr) error code


XmlSchemaLoad

Load up a schema document to be used in the next validation session. Schema documents can be incrementally loaded into a schema context as long as every loaded schema document is valid. When the last loaded schema turns out to be invalid, you need to clean up the schema context by calling XmlSchemaClean and reload everything all over again including the last schema with appropriate correction.


Syntax
xmlerr XmlSchemaLoad(
   xsdctx *sctx, 
   oratext *uri, 
list);

Parameter In/Out Description
sxctx
IN
schema context
uri
IN
URL of schema document; compiler encoding
list
IN
NULL-terminated list of variable arguments


Returns

(xmlerr) numeric error code, XMLERR_OK [0] on success


XmlSchemaLoadedList

Return only the size of loaded schema documents if list is NULL. If list is not NULL, a list of URL pointers are returned in the user-provided pointer buffer. Note that its user's responsibility to provide a buffer with big enough size.


Syntax
ub4 XmlSchemaLoadedList(
   xsdctx *sctx, 
   oratext **list);

Parameter In/Out Description
sctx
IN
schema context
list
IN
address of pointer buffer


Returns

(ub4) list size


XmlSchemaSetErrorHandler

Sets an error message handler and its associated context in a schema context. To retrieve useful location information on errors, the address of the schema context must be provided in the error handler context.


Syntax
xmlerr XmlSchemaSetErrorHandler(
   xsdctx *sctx, 
   XML_ERRMSG_F(
      (*errhdl), 
      ectx, 
      msg, 
      err), 
   void *errctx);

Parameter In/Out Description
sctx
IN
schema context
errhdl
IN
error message handler
errctx
IN
error handler context


Returns

(xmlerr) error code


XmlSchemaSetValidateOptions

Set options to be used in the next validation session. Previously set options will remain effective until they are overwritten or reset.


Syntax
xmlerr XmlSchemaSetValidateOptions(
   xsdctx *sctx, 
list);

Parameter In/Out Description
sctx
IN
schema context
list
IN
NULL-terminated list of variable argument


Returns

(xmlerr) numeric error code, XMLERR_OK [0] on success


See Also:

XmlSchemaValidate


XmlSchemaTargetNamespace

Return target namespace of a given schema document identified by its URI. All currently loaded schema documents can be queried. Currently loaded schema documents include the ones loaded through XmlSchemaLoads and the ones loaded through schemaLocation or noNamespaceSchemaLocation hints.


Syntax
oratext *XmlSchemaTargetNamespace(
   xsdctx *sctx, 
   oratext *uri);

Parameter In/Out Description
sctx
IN
XML context
uri
IN
URL of the schema document to be queried


Returns

(oratext *) target namespace string; NULL if given document not


XmlSchemaUnload

Unload a schema document from the validator. All previously loaded schema documents will remain loaded until they are unloaded. To unload all loaded schema documents, set URI to be NULL (this is equivalent to XmlSchemaClean). Note that all children schemas associated with the given schema are also unloaded. In this implementation, it only support the following scenarios:

It doesn't not support: load, load, unload, load, ....


Syntax
xmlerr XmlSchemaUnload(
   xsdctx *sctx, 
   oratext *uri, 
list);

Parameter In/Out Description
sctx
IN
schema context
uri
IN
URL of the schema document; compiler encoding
list
IN
NULL-terminated list of variable argument


Returns

(xmlerr) numeric error code, XMLERR_OK [0] on success


XmlSchemaValidate

Validates an element node against a schema. Schemas used in current session consists of all schema documents specified through XmlSchemaLoad and provided as hint(s) through schemaLocation or noNamespaceSchemaLocation in the instance document. After the invocation of this routine, all loaded schema documents remain loaded and can be queried by XmlSchemaLoadedList. However, they will remain inactive. In the next validation session, inactive schema documents can be activated by specifying them through XmlSchemaLoad or providing them as hint(s) through schemaLocation or noNamespaceSchemaLocation in the new instance document. To unload a schema document and all its descendants (documents included or imported in a nested manner), use XmlSchemaUnload.


Syntax
xmlerr XmlSchemaValidate(
   xsdctx *sctx,
   xmlctx *xctx, 
   xmlelemnode *elem);

Parameter In/Out Description
sctx
IN
schema context
xctx
IN
XML top-level context
elem
IN
element node in the doc, to be validated


Returns

(xmlerr) numeric error code, XMLERR_OK [0] on success


XmlSchemaVersion

Return the version of this schema implementation.


Syntax
oratext *XmlSchemaVersion();


Returns

(oratext *) version string [compiler encoding]
