prevalidate

public void prevalidate(ValidationContext vctx)

Prevalidate component information. The prevalidation step is used to check isolated aspects of a component, such as the settings for enumerated values. This empty base class implementation should be overridden by each subclass that requires prevalidation handling.

Specified by:

prevalidate in interface IComponent

Parameters:

vctx - validation context

validate

public void validate(ValidationContext vctx)

Validate component information. The validation step is used for checking the interactions between components, such as name references to other components. The prevalidate(org.jibx.schema.validation.ValidationContext) method will always be called for every component in the schema definition before this method is called for any component. This empty base class implementation should be overridden by each subclass that requires validation handling.

Specified by:

validate in interface IComponent

Parameters:

vctx - validation context
