Interface ValidationEventHandler</H2>
<DL>
<DT><B>All Known Implementing Classes:</B> <DD><A HREF="../../../javax/xml/bind/helpers/DefaultValidationEventHandler.html" title="class in javax.xml.bind.helpers">DefaultValidationEventHandler</A>, <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/bind/util/ValidationEventCollector.html" title="class in javax.xml.bind.util">ValidationEventCollector</A></DD>
</DL>
<HR>
<DL>
<DT><PRE>public interface <B>ValidationEventHandler</B></DL>
</PRE>
<P>
A basic event handler interface for validation errors.
<p>
If an application needs to implement customized event handling, it must
implement this interface and then register it with either the
<A HREF="../../../javax/xml/bind/Unmarshaller.html#setEventHandler(javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventHandler)"><CODE>Unmarshaller</CODE></A>,
the <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/bind/Validator.html#setEventHandler(javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventHandler)"><CODE>Validator</CODE></A>, or
the <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/bind/Marshaller.html#setEventHandler(javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventHandler)"><CODE>Marshaller</CODE></A>.
The JAXB Provider will then report validation errors and warnings encountered
during the unmarshal, marshal, and validate operations to these event
handlers.
<p>
If the <tt>handleEvent</tt> method throws an unchecked runtime exception,
the JAXB Provider must treat that as if the method returned false, effectively
terminating whatever operation was in progress at the time (unmarshal,
validate, or marshal).
<p>
Modifying the Java content tree within your event handler is undefined
by the specification and may result in unexpected behaviour.
<p>
Failing to return false from the <tt>handleEvent</tt> method after
encountering a fatal error is undefined by the specification and may result
in unexpected behavior.

<DD>Receive notification of a validation warning or error.
The ValidationEvent will have a
<A HREF="../../../javax/xml/bind/ValidationEventLocator.html" title="interface in javax.xml.bind"><CODE>ValidationEventLocator</CODE></A> embedded in it that
indicates where the error or warning occurred.
<p>

provider will treat it as if the method returned false and interrupt
the current unmarshal, validate, or marshal operation.
