Constructor Detail

GNValidator

public GNValidator()
            throws IOException,
                   UnknownHostException

Constructs a GNValidator using ArcGIS Engine.

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

UnknownHostException - if there are interop problems

GNValidator

public GNValidator(Object obj)
            throws IOException

Deprecated. As of ArcGIS 9.2, replaced by normal Java casts.
GNValidator theGNValidator = (GNValidator) obj;

Construct a GNValidator using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to GNValidator.

Parameters:

obj - an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

Method Detail

getClsid

public static String getClsid()

getClsid.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this object with another

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

the hashcode for this object

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

validate

public boolean validate(IPropertySet pPropertySet,
                        boolean silent,
                        String[] failureReasons)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Validates metadata.

Remarks

The pPropertySet parameter should be an XmlPropertySet instance containing an ArcGIS item’s metadata. The Validate method returns a Boolean indicating whether the metadata was successfully validated.

The validation rules are determined by the class’ implementation. For example, the GNValidator class validates metadata based on the requirements for an ArcIMS Metadata Service if its validate property is set to true. When this is the case title, extent, publisher, theme, and content type are required in an item’s metadata, as described in the Desktop Help topic “Publishing requirements”.

In addition to the return value indicating success, the output failureReasons parameter is populated with a string containing the reasons for failure. With the GNValidator class, the reasons are end-line delimited.
