Method Detail

### getPublicId

    public java.lang.String getPublicId()

  Return the public identifier for the current document event.

  The return value is the public identifier of the document entity or of the external parsed entity in which the markup triggering the event appears.

  Specified by:
    getPublicId in interface SourceLocator
  Returns:
    A string containing the public identifier, or null if none is available.
  Overrides:
    getPublicId in class LocatorImpl
  See Also:
    `getSystemId()`

### getSystemId

    public java.lang.String getSystemId()

  Return the system identifier for the current document event.

  The return value is the system identifier of the document entity or of the external parsed entity in which the markup triggering the event appears.

  If the system identifier is a URL, the parser must resolve it fully before passing it to the application.

  Specified by:
    getSystemId in interface SourceLocator
  Returns:
    A string containing the system identifier, or null if none is available.
  Overrides:
    getSystemId in class LocatorImpl

    `getPublicId()`

### getLineNumber

    public int getLineNumber()

  Return the line number where the current document event ends.

  Warning: The return value from the method is intended only as an approximation for the sake of error reporting; it is not intended to provide sufficient information to edit the character content of the original XML document.

  The return value is an approximation of the line number in the document entity or external parsed entity where the markup triggering the event appears.

  Specified by:
    getLineNumber in interface SourceLocator
  Returns:
    The line number, or -1 if none is available.
  Overrides:
    getLineNumber in class LocatorImpl
