Xerces schema validation

Ole Hedegaard

Hi,

I've been looking into the Xerces documentation, and to my surprise it seems
that it is impossible to validate an XML document againts an XML Schema
without having a schemaLocation (or noNameSpaceSchemaLocation) reference in
the XML document. I basically just want to validate some "foreign" XML,
which I did not generate myself, against my own Schemas.

Is that really impossible with Xerces, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Ole Hedegaard

Of course it's possible. You have to turn on feature
http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema
and let property
http://apache.org/xml/properties/sch...schemaLocation
point to your schema. See http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/features.html for
details.
