A XMLReader may pass an object that implements this
interface to the application by calling the
setDocumentLocator( ) method of the
application's ContentHandler
object before it invokes any other methods of that
ContentHandler. The
ContentHandler can use methods of this
Locator object from within any of the other
methods called by the parser in order to determine what document the
parser is parsing and what line number and column number it is
parsing at. This information is particularly useful when displaying
error or warning messages, for example. getSystemId(
) and getPublicId( ) return the system
and public identifiers of the document being parsed, if this
information is available to the parser, and otherwise return
null. getLineNumber( ) and
getColumnNumber( ) return the line number and
column number of the next character that the parser will read (line
and column numbers are numbered starting at 1, not at 0). The parser
is allowed to return an approximate value from these methods, or to
return -1 if it does not track line and column numbers.
