Schema validation using Xerces-C++ version 1.6.0?

[Vikas]

Hi y'all,

I am trying to do validation of xml files against their schema using
the Xerces library. I am expecting to get an exception while calling
DOMParser::pars e method when the xml file is invalid, i.e. it doesn't
conform to its schema, but I don't get any exception. What am I doing
wrong?

Following is snippet of my code:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
try {
XMLPlatformUtil s::Initialize() ;
}
catch (const XMLException& toCatch) {
cout << "Error during initialization! :\n"
<< DOMString(toCat ch.getMessage() ) << endl;
return 1;
}

string xml_file = "test.xml";
bool valid = true;

try
{
DOMParser* parser = new DOMParser;

parser->setDoNamespace s(true);
parser->setDoSchema(tr ue);
parser->setValidationS chemaFullChecki ng(true);
parser->setValidationC onstraintFatal( true);
ErrorHandler* errHandler = (ErrorHandler*) new HandlerBase();
parser->setErrorHandle r(errHandler);

parser->parse(xml_file .c_str());

delete errHandler;
delete parser;
}
catch (...) {
cout << "An error occurred during parsing" << endl;
valid = false;
}

cout << "The xml file is " << ( valid ? "valid" : "invalid" ) <<
endl;

XMLPlatformUtil s::Terminate();

return 0;
}

Thank you for your replies.
