Method Detail

addParameter

public void addParameter(String name, String strValue, ValidationContext context)
Adds a new parameter.

Parameters: name The name of the parameter to be added. strValue The raw value of the parameter.

This context object is valid only during this method call. The callee may not keep a reference to this object.

Throws: DatatypeException When the given parameter is inappropriate for some reason. The callee is responsible to recover from this error. That is, the object should behave as if no such error was occured.

createDatatype

public Datatype createDatatype()
Derives a new Datatype from a Datatype by parameters that were already set through the addParameter method.

Throws: DatatypeException DatatypeException must be thrown if the derivation is somehow invalid. For example, a required parameter is missing, etc. The exception should contain a diagnosis message if possible.
