Method Details

isValid

boolean isValid()
         throws IllegalStateException

Checks if the document was valid.

This method can be only called after this handler receives the endDocument event.

If you need to know the error at an earlier moment, you should set an error handler to Verifier.

Returns:

true if the document was valid, false if not.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - If this method is called before the endDocument event is dispatched.
