For your websphere environment check the version of axiom jar (assume axiom-api-1.1.1.jar)
check the version of Xerces (assume version 2.8.0 xercesImpl.jar) in either case I would copy the 2 good jars to your webspere deployment library folder HTH M-- ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Sprat To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 12:53 PM Subject: [Axis2] schema validation exception I am getting an UnsupportedOperation Exception each time I try to validate an OMElement against a schema. I am using Axis2 1.2 with no data binding so my service class receives an OMElement object. The validation code is quite simple: // Get XML stream reader from OMElement received XMLStreamReader reader = doc.getXMLStreamReader(); //Create the DOOM OMFactory OMFactory doomFactory = DOOMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory(); //Create the new builder StAXOMBuilder doomBuilder = new StAXOMBuilder(doomFactory, reader); //Get the document element OMElement omElem = doomBuilder.getDocumentElement(); try { SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI); Schema xsd = factory.newSchema(schemaLocation); Validator validator = xsd.newValidator(); validator.validate(new DOMSource((Element) omElem)); return true; } catch (Exception e) { return false; } Below is a snippet of the stack trace: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: TODO atorg.apache.axiom.om.impl.dom.DocumentImpl.getDoctype(DocumentImpl.java:225) atorg.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.DOMValidatorHelper.setupEntityMap(UnknownSource) atorg.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.DOMValidatorHelper.validate(UnknownSource) at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.ValidatorImpl.validate(UnknownSource) at javax.xml.validation.Validator.validate(Unknown Source)Note that this works fine in Tomcat 5.5 but chokes in Websphere 6.1 so I suspect there is a class loading issue somewhere. What could be the problem??Thanks,T ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect.
