createValidator
public Validator createValidator(PropertyMap properties)
- Creates a new
Validator
that can be used to validate XML documents with
respect to this schema. The PropertyMap
should contain a
ValidateProperty.ERROR_HANDLER

used to report errors. If it does not, then an ErrorHandler
will be used that ignores warnings and throws its argument on errors and fatal errors.
Common properties are defined in ValidateProperty
. Implementations
may support additional properties.
- Parameters:
properties
- a PropertyMap
specifying the properties of the
Validator
to be created
- Returns:
- a new
Validator
that can be used to validate an XML document
with respect to this schema; never null
