Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
public org.w3c.dom.DOMLocatorgetLocation()
The location of the error.

public java.lang.StringgetMessage()
An implementation specific string describing the error that occurred.

public java.lang.ObjectgetRelatedData()
The related DOMError.type dependent data if any.

public java.lang.ObjectgetRelatedException()
The related platform dependent exception if any.

public shortgetSeverity()
The severity of the error, either SEVERITY_WARNING, SEVERITY_ERROR, or SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR.

public java.lang.StringgetType()
A DOMString indicating which related data is expected in relatedData. Users should refer to the specification of the error in order to find its DOMString type and relatedData definitions if any.

Note: As an example, Document.normalizeDocument() does generate warnings when the "split-cdata-sections" parameter is in use. Therefore, the method generates a SEVERITY_WARNING with type "cdata-sections-splitted" and the first CDATASection node in document order resulting from the split is returned by the relatedData attribute.
