Method Detail

getSeverity

public short getSeverity()

The severity of the error, either SEVERITY_WARNING, SEVERITY_ERROR, or SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR.

getMessage

public java.lang.String getMessage()

An implementation specific string describing the error that occured.

getType

public java.lang.String getType()

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, [DOM Level 3 Load and Save] does not keep the [baseURI] property defined on a Processing Instruction information item. Therefore, the DOMBuilder generates a SEVERITY_WARNING with type "infoset-baseURI" and the lost [baseURI] property represented as a DOMString in the relatedData attribute.

getRelatedException

public java.lang.Object getRelatedException()

The related platform dependent exception if any.exception is a reserved word, we need to rename it.Change to "relatedException". (F2F 26 Sep 2001)

getRelatedData

public java.lang.Object getRelatedData()

The related DOMError.type dependent data if any.

getLocation

public DOMLocator getLocation()

The location of the error.
