Error Handling in XPath Functions - brief architecture description
The Xalan/XPath standard library error messages for "en_US" are found in file: (src)/xalanc/NLS/en_US/XalanMsg_en_US.xlf The messages in xliff format use 0-3 parameter substitutions. The xlif file is processed by the MsgCreator program to create header files. nls/include/LocalMsgData.hpp and nls/include/localMsgIndex.hpp Which are also used to build the message library shared objects for Windows bin/XalanMessages_1_11.dll and bin/XalanMessages_1_11D.dll for Unix/Linux bin/libxalanMsg.so.111.0 bin/libxalanMsg.so.111 -> libxalanMsg.so.111.0 bin/libxalanMsg.so -> libxalanMsg.so.111.0 Standard message reporting uses the following method to create XalanDOMString messages from a message index and 0-3 parameters. const XalanDOMString& XalanMessageLoader::getMessage( XalanDOMString& theResult, XalanMessages::{the string identifier}, // See the xliff file "Parameter {0}", "Parameter {1}", "Parameter {2}"); We can add new messages to the library for Date, DateTime, Duration, and other specific string formatted validations. Index: "InvalidDateTime_3Param" Text: "Function '{0}' parameter '{1}' has bad DateTime format '{2}'" Index: "InvalidDate_3Param" Text: "Function '{0}' parameter '{1}' has bad Date format '{2}'" Index: "InvalidTime_3Param" Text: "Function '{0}' parameter '{1}' has bad Time format '{2}'" Index: "InvalidDuration_3Param" Text: "Function '{0}' parameter '{1} has bad Duration format '{2}'" where '{0}' = name of the XPath function where '{1}' = number of the XPath function parameter where '{2}' = string value of the error There are several methods, depending upon severity of error, that can be used to register messages to the XPath interpreter and Stylesheet Transformer processes.
