Validating XML

[MRaj Raj]

Hi i am new to java & XML & SAX Parser.. i need Urgent Help

How should i validate the XML. I have a XSD (schema ) and i am using the SAX parser.

Please some one point me a good link or sample code to validate the XML against the XSD.

The following is the portion of code written to call the SAX parser

----

RequestHandler rh = new RequestHandler(); -> I mentioned this class below
TextMessage textMessage = (TextMessage) msg; --> "msg" has XML file
String txt = textMessage.getText();

try {

SAXParserFactory fact = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = fact.newSAXParser();
InputSource inSource = new InputSource();
inSource.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(txt));
sp.parse(inSource, rh);

}

Never thought of it nor did I ever try.
