Re: Validating a DOM
By converting the DOM into a String I assume you mean the schema DOM? If so, I believe that yes, you must serialize the DOM into a String. Actually, to be more specific, you have to serialize the DOM into a String and THEN create an InputStream out of that String (most implementations I've seen use ByteArrayInputStream). The InputSource constructor that takes a String assumes that the String points to a URI where the document can be loaded AFAIK.

Re: Validating a DOM
Using ByteArrayInputStream wouldn't be a good idea. A String is not a byte array, it's a char array. You certainly don't want to convert the String to bytes and then reconvert it to chars, giving yourself an opportunity to get the charset wrong. What you want to do is create a StringReader.

Re: Validating a DOM
DOM Level 3 provides a method for validating a document in memory. This FAQ [1] describes how to do it.
