Dear Sir,
There is more than one in this group. ;-)
[...]
But there are many cases which this function validate() does not
check for .. like for example, the function does not check whether the
value of the maxOccurs attribute is always greater than or equal to
the minOccurs attribute.
You cannot accomplish such a thing with a DTD, it is technically
impossible. Thus it is not the fault of the validate() method not to
find this kind of error.
Being valid does not imply that the XML file makes sense.
or are we supposed to create our own functions to check for these
extra cases not addressed by function validate().
Have a look at the SOM (Schema Object Model), it may help you a bit
further. At least it may keep you from implementing high level checking
from scratch, reducing the task to a few "for each ... in ..." loops.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could mail me the answer to this
query.
