Interface ValidationEventHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

ValidationEventCollector

public interface ValidationEventHandler

A basic event handler interface for validation errors.

If an application needs to implement customized event handling, it must implement this interface and then register it with either the Unmarshaller, the Validator, or the Marshaller. The JAXB Provider will then report validation errors and warnings encountered during the unmarshal, marshal, and validate operations to these event handlers.

Modifying the Java content tree within your event handler is undefined by the specification and may result in unexpected behaviour.

Failing to return false from the handleEvent method after encountering a fatal error is undefined by the specification and may result in unexpected behavior.
