Class SchemaFactory

java.lang.Object

org.ow2.easywsdl.schema.SchemaFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

SchemaFactoryImpl

public abstract class SchemaFactory
extends Object

This abstract class defines a factory API that enables applications to obtain a SchemaFactory capable of producing new Definitions, new SchemaReaders, and new SchemaWriters.

Some ideas used here have been shamelessly copied from the wonderful JAXP and Xerces work.

Method Detail

newInstance

public static SchemaFactory newInstance()
                                 throws SchemaException

Get a new instance of a SchemaFactory. This method follows (almost) the same basic sequence of steps that JAXP follows to determine the fully-qualified class name of the class which implements SchemaFactory.

The steps in order are:

1. Check the property file META-INF/services/javax.wsdl.factory.SchemaFactory.
2. Check the javax.wsdl.factory.SchemaFactory system property.
3. Check the lib/wsdl.properties file in the JRE directory. The key will have the same name as the above system property.
4. Use the default class name provided by the implementation.

Once an instance of a SchemaFactory is obtained, invoke newDefinition(), newSchemaReader(), or newSchemaWriter(), to create the desired instances.

Throws:

SchemaException

newSchema

public abstract Schema newSchema()
                          throws SchemaException

Create a new instance of a Definition.

Throws:

SchemaException

newSchemaReader

public abstract SchemaReader newSchemaReader()
                                      throws SchemaException

Create a new instance of a SchemaReaderImpl.

Throws:

SchemaException

newSchemaReader

public abstract SchemaReader newSchemaReader(Map<SchemaReader.FeatureConstants,Object> features)
                                      throws SchemaException

Create a new instance of a SchemaReaderImpl.

Throws:

SchemaException

newSchemaWriter

public abstract SchemaWriter newSchemaWriter()
                                      throws SchemaException

Create a new instance of a SchemaWriterImpl.

Throws:

SchemaException

getDefaultSchema

public static DefaultSchema getDefaultSchema()

Get the default parent

Returns:

the default parent
