Method Summary
`void` `error(java.lang.String domain, java.lang.String key, XMLParseException exception)` Reports an error.
`void` `fatalError(java.lang.String domain, java.lang.String key, XMLParseException exception)` Report a fatal error.
`void` `warning(java.lang.String domain, java.lang.String key, XMLParseException exception)` Reports a warning.

Method Detail

### warning

    public void warning(java.lang.String domain,
                        java.lang.String key,
                        XMLParseException exception)
                 throws XNIException

  Reports a warning. Warnings are non-fatal and can be safely ignored by most applications.
  Parameters:
    `domain` - The domain of the warning. The domain can be any string but is suggested to be a valid URI. The domain can be used to conveniently specify a web site location of the relevant specification or document pertaining to this warning.
    `key` - The warning key. This key can be any string and is implementation dependent.
    `exception` - Exception.
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown to signal that the parser should stop parsing the document.

### error

    public void error(java.lang.String domain,
                      java.lang.String key,
                      XMLParseException exception)
               throws XNIException

  Reports an error. Errors are non-fatal and usually signify that the document is invalid with respect to its grammar(s).
  Parameters:
    `domain` - The domain of the error. The domain can be any string but is suggested to be a valid URI. The domain can be used to conveniently specify a web site location of the relevant specification or document pertaining to this error.
    `key` - The error key. This key can be any string and is implementation dependent.
    `exception` - Exception.
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown to signal that the parser should stop parsing the document.

### fatalError

    public void fatalError(java.lang.String domain,
                           java.lang.String key,
                           XMLParseException exception)
                    throws XNIException

  Report a fatal error. Fatal errors usually occur when the document is not well-formed and signifies that the parser cannot continue normal operation.

  Note: The error handler should always throw an `XNIException` from this method. This exception can either be the same exception that is passed as a parameter to the method or a new XNI exception object. If the registered error handler fails to throw an exception, the continuing operation of the parser is undetermined.

  Parameters:
    `domain` - The domain of the fatal error. The domain can be any string but is suggested to be a valid URI. The domain can be used to conveniently specify a web site location of the relevant specification or document pertaining to this fatal error.
    `key` - The fatal error key. This key can be any string and is implementation dependent.
    `exception` - Exception.
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown to signal that the parser should stop parsing the document.
