XMLGrammarLoader

public interface XMLGrammarLoader

The intention of this interface is to provide a generic means by which Grammar objects may be created without parsing instance documents. Implementations of this interface will know how to load specific types of grammars (e.g., DTD's or schemas); a wrapper will be provided for user applications to interact with these implementations.

public Grammar loadGrammar(org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLInputSource source)
Returns a Grammar object by parsing the contents of the entity pointed to by source.
param
source the location of the entity which forms the starting point of the grammar to be constructed.

Sets the state of a feature.
param
featureId The feature identifier.
param
state The state of the feature.
throws

public void setLocale(java.util.Locale locale)
Set the locale to use for messages.
param
locale The locale object to use for localization of messages.
