public interface ValidationEvent

An instance of ValidationEvent indicates some error condition, which occurred when validating a JAXB object. The purpose of the ValidationEventHandler is to customize the reply on instances of ValidationEvent. The default event handler will throw an exception in case of events, but application specific validation event handlers need not do the same.

JAXB1.0
