My validatorV2 extension disables XML source validation [message #785407] Sun, 29 January 2012 00:19 Go to next message

I'd like to add XML editor source (as-you-type) validation for my own xml based content type ("xml2"). However, contributing the org.eclipse.wst.validation.validatorV2 extension as shown below seems to disable source validation for the original org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml content type (and it doesn't work for my xml2 type either).

Normal batch validation still works for both xml and xml2. Source validation clearly stopped working because no red squiggly lines are drawn for invalid <tag></tag2> elements (for example) when editing xml or xml2 files using the WST XML editor. I'm using Eclipse JEE/Indigo SR1:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes">
      <content-type
            base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml"
            file-extensions="xml2"
            id="validator-test.xml2"
            name="XML2"
            priority="normal">
      </content-type>
   </extension>
   <extension
         id="id1"
         name="name"
         point="org.eclipse.wst.validation.validatorV2">
      <validator
            build="true"
            class="org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.internal.validation.eclipse.Validator"
            manual="true"
            markerId="org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.validationMarker"
            sourceid="org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.internal.validation.DelegatingSourceValidatorForXML"
            version="3">
         <include>
            <rules>
               <contentType
                     exactMatch="true"
                     id="validator-test.xml2">
               </contentType>
            </rules>
         </include>
      </validator>
   </extension>


If I remove the source validator entry (sourceid="org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.internal.validation.DelegatingSourceValidatorForXML") from my plugin.xml then source validation starts working again for the normal xml content type (but obviously not for my own content type).

Has anybody been able to get source validation to work for their own XML based content type? DelegatingSourceValidatorForXML seems to stop working properly after it's been re-contributed. Source validation *mostly* works if I remove the validatorV2 extension and instead manually add my content type to: Preferences + Validation + XML validator + Settings, while there has been a couple of times when that stopped working as well (and I needed to remove and then add them back in).

A few things to try:
1) Don't borrow the XML Problem marker type, use your own. The
Validation Framework will not be able to manage them properly if they
come from more than one validator.
2) Don't associate your batch validator with an unrelated source
validator. You're confusing the framework.

Hello,
I am interested in a solution to this problem as I have to do exactly the same thing.
Nitin, could you please explain a little bit more your two suggestions please ?

Thanks.

I couldn't get it to work earlier (when using the extension points).

Do your validators work if you manually make the associations, as opposed to using the extensions?

Hi,
at first, I didn't try to manually associate the validators as I didn't initially considered to override any existing implementation (I just want the exactly same behaviour as the XML, but for my own content-type which only differs from the XML content-type by the file extension).

(By the way, I'm not sure of what you mean when you ask "Do your validators work if you manually make the associations ?").

So, I just tried to "duplicate" as many contributions needed for the XML content-type, but for my own specific "XML-like" content-type to get the same functionalities (problem marker, sourcevalidation and ValidatorV2 as far as I remember).

For now, all functionnalities work for XML and only the "as-you-type" validation doesn't work for my content-type.
Now, I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't work by debugging the WST validator framework by comparing the call stacks/code calling tree between an editor on an XML file and another one on my own content-type.

I think I'm not far of a solution by declaring a sourcevalidation contribution and a ValidatorV2 pointing on a Validator class which default internal validator ID is pointing on the Validator markerId value. I'll detail a little bit more this particular point tomorrow from work.
Regards and sorry for the long post.

I manually associated my content type(s) with the default XML validators by doing: Window + Preferences + Validation + 'XML Validator' + Settings, and then added my content types to the Include Group, because the sourcevalidation or validatorV2 extensions didn't seem to work with the default XML validators.

However, I'd be interested to hear if you manage to get the extensions to work. I'm thinking there might be some subtle differences between how the extensions work vs. how the manually added associations work, but my wild guess is that there is something about the xml validator implementation that causes the different behavior when the extensions are used.

It works !
In fact, one has to associate the sourcevalidation and the validatorV2 extensions with two different validator classes. I'm at home now, so I don't remember which classes I set, but if I have a few minutes at work, I'll post again to tell you.

That's very cool - I would be very interesting in seeing what the extension points look like or which validator classes are working!

Is there any way you could post a sample of the code you used to get the xml validation to work. I've wasted a lot of time on it and have not been able to get all the pieces working.

I'm very interesting on getting source validation working with own xml-based format as well. I've tried the standart extension schema - and it's not working. Would appreciate a sample plugin.xml snipet very much!
