      • getContentHandler

        public abstract org.xml.sax.ContentHandler getContentHandler​(AnnotationContext context,
                                                             java.lang.String parentElementName,
                                                             org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler errorHandler,
                                                             org.xml.sax.EntityResolver entityResolver)
        Called every time a new <xs:annotation> element is found.

        The sub-tree rooted at <xs:annotation> will be sent to this ContentHandler as if it is a whole document.

        Parameters:
        context - indicates the schema component that owns this annotation. Always non-null.
        parentElementName - local name of the element that contains <xs:annotation>. (e.g., "element", "attribute", ... )
        errorHandler - The error handler that the client application specifies. The returned content handler can send its errors to this object.
        entityResolver - The entity resolver that is currently in use. Again, The returned content handler can use this object if it needs to resolve entities.

      • getResult

        public abstract java.lang.Object getResult​(java.lang.Object existing)
        Once the SAX events are fed to the ContentHandler, this method will be called to retrieve the parsed result.
        Parameters:
        existing - An annotation object which was returned from another AnnotationParser before. Sometimes, one schema component can have multiple <:xs:annotation> elements and this parameter is used to merge all those annotations together. If there is no existing object, null will be passed.
        Returns:
        Any object, including null.
