But.. how to pass the XML schema to the validator ?
---- Subodh -----Original Message----- From: Ostermueller, Erik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 7:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [castor-dev] Data validation using schema Look in the castor.properties file. # True if all documents should be validated by the marshalling framework # org.exolab.castor.marshalling.validation=true ...so when you invoke marshal() or unmarshal() on a generated value object, castor will throw validation exceptions where necessary. I'm not sure why this next property is helpful, but it is important to understand it: # True if xml documents should be validated by the SAX Parser # org.exolab.castor.parser.validation=false The first property invokes castor-generated java the performs the same validation as the schema. The second property invokes the parser's validator. If you want to kick off the validation manually, invoke this: org.exolab.castor.xml.Validator validator = new org.exolab.castor.xml.Validator(); validator.validate(myGeneratedValueObject); Hope that helps, --Erik -----Original Message----- From: Subodh Damle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 3:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [castor-dev] Data validation using schema I know that Castor provides means to validate data against a XML schema, yet I am not yet able to figure out just how. Can anyone please briefly list out the main steps required for a task as described below : The problem : There are order types A, B... Corresponding XML schema are A.xsd, B.xsd .. Depending on some ext parameter, we have to : 1. Instantiate correct order type : new A() / new B() 2. Take correct schema : A.xsd / B.xsd Now, we have to validate the marshaled object (from 1) against the schema (from 2) i.e. obj = new A() / new B() // <-- depending on external parameter schema = A.xsd / B.xsd // <-- depending on external parameter validate ( obj, schema ); // <====== how do I do this Thanks, S ********************************************************* Disclaimer: This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.
