Add schema to xmldocument

[Bernd Kolb (KolbW@re)]

Hi,

I have a question: I am using xerces 2.9.0.

I have a XML-Document witch was not created by me and
I am not able to load it from a file. I am getting
the XML-Document Object.

Now I want to validate this document against a schema.
This schema might not be in the document.

So I want to add the schema programmatically.

How can I achieve this?


Document doc =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(new
File("test.xml"));

Schema schema =
SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI).newSchema(new
StreamSource("simpleSchema.xsd"));
schema.newValidator().validate(new DOMSource(doc));


test.xml looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persons age="0">
  <name>name</name>
  <surname>surname</surname> 
</persons>

But I'd like xerces to act as if it looked like the following one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persons age="0" xmlns="http://sample.com";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://sample.com simpleSchema.xsd ">
  <name>name</name>
  <surname>surname</surname> 
</persons>

I tried to add the xmlns, xmlns:xsi and xsi:schemaLocation attributes to the
root element by code, without success...


Any idea?

Thanks a lot!


Best wishes
