      public abstract ContentHandler getContentHandler(AnnotationContext context, String parentElementName, ErrorHandler errorHandler, EntityResolver entityResolver)
      Called every time a new <xs:annotation> element is found. The sub-tree rooted at <xs:annotation> will be sent to this ContentHandler as if it is a whole document.
      Parameters:
      context - indicates the schema component that owns this annotation. Always non-null.
      parentElementName - local name of the element that contains <xs:annotation>. (e.g., "element", "attribute", ... )
      errorHandler - The error handler that the client application specifies. The returned content handler can send its errors to this object.
      entityResolver - The entity resolver that is currently in use. Again, The returned content handler can use this object if it needs to resolve entities.
    • getResult

      public abstract Object getResult(Object existing)
      Once the SAX events are fed to the ContentHandler, this method will be called to retrieve the parsed result.
      Parameters:
      existing - An annotation object which was returned from another AnnotationParser before. Sometimes, one schema component can have multiple <xs:annotation> elements and this parameter is used to merge all those annotations together. If there is no existing object, null will be passed.
      Returns:
      Any object, including null.
