Method Detail

### createValidator

    public Validator createValidator(PropertyMap properties)

  Creates a new `Validator` that can be used to validate XML documents with respect to this schema. The `PropertyMap` should contain a `ValidateProperty.ERROR_HANDLER` property, which will be used to report errors. If it does not, then an `ErrorHandler` will be used that ignores warnings and throws its argument on errors and fatal errors. Common properties are defined in `ValidateProperty`. Implementations may support additional properties.

  Parameters:
    `properties` - a `PropertyMap` specifying the properties of the `Validator` to be created
  Returns:
    a new `Validator` that can be used to validate an XML document with respect to this schema; never `null`
