/**
* Factory that creates {@link Schema} objects. Entry-point to
* the validation API.
*
* <p>
* {@link SchemaFactory} is a schema compiler. It reads external
* representations of schemas and prepares them for validation.
*
* <p>
* The {@link SchemaFactory} class is not thread-safe. In other words,
* it is the application's responsibility to ensure that at most
* one thread is using a {@link SchemaFactory} object at any
* given moment. Implementations are encouraged to mark methods
* as <code>synchronized to protect themselves from broken clients.
*
* <p>
* {@link SchemaFactory} is not re-entrant. While one of the
* <code>newSchema methods is being invoked, applications
* may not attempt to recursively invoke the <code>newSchema method,
* even from the same thread.
*
* <h2>Schema Language
* <p>
* This spec uses a namespace URI to designate a schema language.
* The following table shows the values defined by this specification.
* <p>
* To be compliant with the spec, the implementation
* is only required to support W3C XML Schema 1.0. However,
* if it chooses to support other schema languages listed here,
* it must conform to the relevant behaviors described in this spec.
*
* <p>
* Schema languages not listed here are expected to
* introduce their own URIs to represent themselves.
* The {@link SchemaFactory} class is capable of locating other
* implementations for other schema languages at run-time.
*
* <p>
* Note that because the XML DTD is strongly tied to the parsing process
* and has a significant effect on the parsing process, it is impossible
* to define the DTD validation as a process independent from parsing.
* For this reason, this specification does not define the semantics for
* the XML DTD. This doesn't prohibit implementors from implementing it
* in a way they see fit, but <em>users are warned that any DTD
* validation implemented on this interface necessarily deviate from
* the XML DTD semantics as defined in the XML 1.0</em>.

* <ol>
* <li>
* If the system property
* <code>"javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:schemaLanguage"
* is present (where <i>schemaLanguage is the parameter
* to this method), then its value is read
* as a class name. The method will try to
* create a new instance of this class by using the class loader,
* and returns it if it is successfully created.
* </li>
* <li>
* <code>$java.home/lib/jaxp.properties is read and
* the value associated with the key being the system property above
* is looked for. If present, the value is processed just like above.
* </li>
* <li>
* Use the service-provider loading facilities, defined by the
* {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} class, to attempt to locate and load an
* implementation of the service using the {@linkplain
* java.util.ServiceLoader#load(java.lang.Class) default loading mechanism}:
* the service-provider loading facility will use the {@linkplain
* java.lang.Thread#getContextClassLoader() current thread's context class loader}
* to attempt to load the service. If the context class
* loader is null, the {@linkplain
* ClassLoader#getSystemClassLoader() system class loader} will be used.
* <br>
* Each potential service provider is required to implement the method
* {@link #isSchemaLanguageSupported(String schemaLanguage)}.
* <br>
* The first service provider found that supports the specified schema
* language is returned.
* <br>
* In case of {@link java.util.ServiceConfigurationError} a
* {@link SchemaFactoryConfigurationError} will be thrown.

* <li>
* Platform default <code>SchemaFactory is located
* in a implementation specific way. There must be a platform default

* <p>Tip for Trouble-shooting:
* <p>See {@link java.util.Properties#load(java.io.InputStream)} for

* need to be escaped in a property file, so make sure schema language

* <p>Implementors and developers should pay particular attention
* to how the features set on this {@link SchemaFactory} are
* processed by this special {@link Schema}.
* In some cases, for example, when the
* {@link SchemaFactory} and the class actually loading the
* schema come from different implementations, it may not be possible
* for {@link SchemaFactory} features to be inherited automatically.
* Developers should
* make sure that features, such as secure processing, are explicitly
* set in both places.</p>

* <h2>W3C XML Schema 1.0
* <p>
* For XML Schema, this method creates a {@link Schema} object that
* performs validation by using location hints specified in documents.
*
* <p>
* The returned {@link Schema} object assumes that if documents
* refer to the same URL in the schema location hints,
* they will always resolve to the same schema document. This
* asusmption allows implementations to reuse parsed results of
* schema documents so that multiple validations against the same
* schema will run faster.
*
* <p>
* Note that the use of schema location hints introduces a
* vulnerability to denial-of-service attacks.
*
*
* <h2>RELAX NG
* <p>
* RELAX NG does not support this operation.
*
* @return
* Always return non-null valid {@link Schema} object.
*
* @throws UnsupportedOperationException
* If this operation is not supported by the callee.
* @throws SAXException
* If this operation is supported but failed for some reason.
