+ \example xmlpatterns/schema
+ \title XML Schema Validation Example
+
+ This example shows how to use QtXmlPatterns to validate XML with
+ a W3C XML Schema.
+
+ \tableofcontents
+
+ \section1 Introduction
+
+ The example application shows different XML schema definitions and
+ for every definition two XML instance documents, one that is valid
+ according to the schema and one that is not.
+ The user can select the valid or invalid instance document, change
+ it and validate it again.
+
+ \section2 The User Interface
+
+ The UI for this example was created using \l{Qt Designer Manual} {Qt
+ Designer}:
+
+ \image schema-example.png
+
+ The UI consists of three parts, at the top the XML schema \l{QComboBox} {selection}
+ and the schema \l{QTextBrowser} {viewer}, below the XML instance \l{QComboBox} {selection}
+ and the instance \l{QTextEdit} {editor} and at the bottom the validation status \l{QLabel} {label}
+ next to the validation \l{QPushButton} {button}.
+
+ \section2 Validating XML Instance Documents
+
+ You can select one of the three predefined XML schemas and for each schema
+ an valid or invalid instance document. A click on the 'Validate' button will
+ validate the content of the XML instance editor against the schema from the
+ XML schema viewer. As you can modify the content of the instance editor, different
+ instances can be tested and validation error messages analysed.
+
+ \section1 Code Walk-Through
+
+ The example's main() function creates the standard instance of
+ QApplication. Then it creates an instance of the mainwindow class, shows it,
+ and starts the Qt event loop:
+
+ \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/main.cpp 0
+
+ \section2 The UI Class: MainWindow
+
+ The example's UI is a conventional Qt GUI application inheriting
+ QMainWindow and the class generated by \l{Qt Designer Manual} {Qt
+ Designer}:
+
+ \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.h 0
+
+ The constructor fills the schema and instance \l{QComboBox} selections with the predefined
+ schemas and instances and connects their \l{QComboBox::currentIndexChanged()} {currentIndexChanged()}
+ signals to the window's \c{schemaSelected()} resp. \c{instanceSelected()} slot.
+ Furthermore the signal-slot connections for the validation \l{QPushButton} {button}
+ and the instance \l{QTextEdit} {editor} are set up.
+
+ The call to \c{schemaSelected(0)} and \c{instanceSelected(0)} will trigger the validation
+ of the initial Contact Schema example.
+
+ \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.cpp 0
+
+ In the \c{schemaSelected()} slot the content of the instance \l{QComboBox} {selection}
+ is adapted to the selected schema and the corresponding schema is loaded from the
+ \l{The Qt Resource System} {resource file} and displayed in the schema \l{QTextBrowser} {viewer}.
+ At the end of the method a revalidation is triggered.
+
+ \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.cpp 1
+
+ In the \c{instanceSelected()} slot the selected instance is loaded from the
+ \l{The Qt Resource System} {resource file} and loaded into the instance \l{QTextEdit} {editor}
+ an the revalidation is triggered again.
+
+ \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.cpp 2
+
+ The \c{validate()} slot does the actual work in this example.
+ At first it stores the content of the schema \l{QTextBrowser} {viewer} and the
+ \l{QTextEdit} {editor} into temporary \l{QByteArray} {variables}.
+ Then it instanciates a \c{MessageHandler} object which inherits from
+ \l{QAbstractMessageHandler} {QAbstractMessageHandler} and is a convenience
+ class to store error messages from the XmlPatterns system.
+
+ \snippet examples/xmlpatterns/schema/mainwindow.cpp 4
+
+ After the \l{QXmlSchema} {QXmlSchema} is instanciated and the message handler set
+ on it, the \l{QXmlSchema::load()} {load()} method is called with the schema data as argument.
+ If the schema is invalid or a parsing error has occured, \l{QXmlSchema::isValid()} {isValid()}
+ returns \c{false} and the error is flagged in \c{errorOccurred}.
+ If the loading was successful, a \l{QXmlSchemaValidator} {QXmlSchemaValidator} is
+ instanciated and the schema passed in the constructor.
+ A call to \l{QXmlSchemaValidator::validate()} {validate()} will validate the passed
+ XML instance data against the XML schema. The return value of that method signals
+ whether the validation was successful.
+ Depending on the success the status \l{QLabel} {label} is set to 'validation successful'
+ or the error message stored in the \c{MessageHandler}
+
+ The rest of the code does only some fancy coloring and eyecandy.
