public abstract void setResourceResolver (LSResourceResolver resourceResolver)

Sets the LSResourceResolver to customize resource resolution while in a validation episode.

Validator uses a LSResourceResolver when it needs to locate external resources while a validation, although exactly what constitutes "locating external resources" is up to each schema language.

When the LSResourceResolver is null, the implementation will behave as if the following LSResourceResolver is set:

 class DumbLSResourceResolver implements LSResourceResolver {
     public org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput resolveResource(
         String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {

         return null; // always return null
     }
 }
 

If a LSResourceResolver throws a RuntimeException (or instances of its derived classes), then the Validator will abort the parsing and the caller of the validate method will receive the same RuntimeException.

When a new Validator object is created, initially this field is set to null.

Parameters:

resourceResolver

A new resource resolver to be set. This parameter can be null.
