This will work to validate a string-value as a valid XML document: public boolean isValid(final String value) { try { DocumentHelper.parseText(value); return true;
} catch (DocumentException exn) { return false; } } Is there a better way within dom4j to do that -- i.e., some way that does not throw an Exception (which is a pretty expensive act)? thanks, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
