public interface TemplateValidator

Interface for classes that validate an unprocessed template (In DOM form) The aim is to add additional validation beyond what can be achieved via schema validation alone. For example to check the syntax of PropExpressions. The checks need to be conservative to not flag problems due to unexpanded elements etc. The validator is allowed to deference up into the surrounding document to find context.

Method Detail

checkNode

boolean checkNode(org.w3c.dom.Element e)
                  throws TemplateValidateException

Consider this element for validity. If the method returns true the node has been checked and need not be recursed into. If it returns false then either the Validator does not recognise the node or validates at a lower level of the document tree. In this case the surrounding framework should recurse into the child elements.

Throws:

TemplateValidateException

Parameters:

e - Element to be considered

Returns:

boolean status.
