XmlParser Template

loadSyntax()

Load a set of parsing rules.

Syntax

void = rb.XmlParser.loadSyntax(syntaxFile)

Parameters

The 'loadSyntax' method takes 1 parameter:

Results

The 'loadSyntax' method returns no useful information.

Remarks

Apply a set of XML parsing rules for this parser. The rules describe the kind of document to expect and allows the parser to do some of the validation associated with loading an XML document. The rules are not a complete DTD but provide a set of allowed attributes and tags.

By default the rules file is located in the virtual server file system. Optionally the second parameter allows the application to specify that the file is located in the global system area. The service provider may have made standard definitions available for popular XML applications such as RSS. These are placed in one read-only location by the administrator and can be loaded by multiple Whitebeam applications.

The syntax rules will be the subject of a separate tutorial in the near future!
