Validate XML file against XML Schema

[Michael Lara]

Hi! I am writing a java program which creates an XML file. I need to validate the file against a Schema file file.XSD. How can I do this in java? Please Help me. Thanks in advance.

Moving to the XML forum.

The current Xerces parser (see xml.apache.org) documentation says it provides "initial support for XML Schema (draft W3C standard)" I know that parser is evolving rapidly so you should check there for the latest.

Two ready to use code examples can be found from this page
1) A simple XML validator using xml schema (SAX).
2) A simple XML validator using xml schema (JDOM).

Instead of taking that much pain, have a look at Sun Multi-Schema XML Validator of Sun. I used it. Easy to use, and configure.

Hi,

I was using JING Api to validate RELAX NG SChema. But the problem with JING was its bad error handling. I tried out few examples of Sun Multi Schema Validator. The problem with this is that, this throws up the error as soon as it encouters it. I would like to give the detail list of errors. Could you please help me out.

Thanks
