[MOBY-dev] createInstanceFromDOM

[Sylvie Huchet]

Hi,

I would like to create a biomoby instance from a file that contains data.

The data file is an XML file that comply (or should comply) with biomoby format.
I thought that if the file contained a data type that is not a biomoby data type
(doesn't belong to the object ontology), the createInstanceFromDOM method would
throw an exception, but that is not the case. A NullPointerException is thrown
by an inner method (MobyDatacomposite constructor).

Should I use another method to check that the data type present in the data file
is correct or is it a problem with createInstanceFromDOM that should throw an
exception ?

Thanks, and
Best regards,
Sylvie.
