Class XsdValidate

java.lang.Object

uk.ac.starlink.ttools.task.XsdValidate

All Implemented Interfaces:

Task

public class XsdValidate
extends Object
implements Task

Utility task for XML Schema validation. Of course the hard work is done by classes in javax.xml.validation, but this task handles reporting and, especially, provides some facilities for custom schema file location.

This doesn't seem like it should be a job for STILTS, but it seems there aren't too many other easily accessible XSD validation tools out there, and this can at least offer local copies of some of the IVOA schemas.

createExecutable

public Executable createExecutable(Environment env)
                            throws TaskException

Description copied from interface: Task

Creates an executable object which will do the work of this task in the given Environment. This method should do all of the parameter processing and prepare an object which just executes. The idea is that any communication with the user related to the supplied parameter values can be done before the task starts to execute in earnest. Consequently, the returned Executable object ought not to make any reference to env, though this is not absolutely prohibited.

Specified by:

createExecutable in interface Task

Parameters:

env - the environment in which the task will operate

Throws:

TaskException - if no executable can be created; this should usually be a UsageException or some subclass
