public abstract class ValidationException

extends UnmarshalException

Abstract checked-exception class for exceptions thrown to indicate that validation has failed.

Validation errors fall into three categories, each of which has a specific subclass of this class:

• A LocalValidationException is thrown when a violation of a local structural constraint is detected.

• A GlobalValidationException is thrown when a violation of a global structural constraint is detected.

• A TypeValidationException is thrown when a violation of a type constraint is detected; this can occur only during unmarshalling.

For convenience, the local- and global-validation exception classes are unified by the superclass StructureValidationException, which is an immediate subclass of this class.

This class extends UnmarshalException, but instances of this class may be thrown during explicit validation as well as during unmarshalling. An instance thrown during explicit validation will have an undefined scan position.
