Hi Vance, There are some scripts that you can use to validate an instance to a schema type. Take a peek at the svalidate/validate scripts in the bin directory. The class that is called is: org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.tool.InstanceValidator and might do what you are looking for. Hope this helps, -Jacob Danner

Hi folks, First, thanks for the tip earlier about atomic type validation, Cezar. Here is another issue I've been working on, that I hope someone has insight into. It is similar to this old thread: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xmlbeans-user/200501.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a SchemaType object that I've loaded from an .xsd file. I also have a piece of data that I'd like to validate against that SchemaType object. Here is how I'm trying to do it: String value = "car"; // The value I want to validate. XmlObject xmlObject = XmlObject.Factory.parse("<product>" + value + "</product>"); // I make a temporary XmlObject to hold the value. xmlObject = xmlObject.selectChildren(new QName("product"))[0]; // I get the <product> element (what I want to validate), not the doc root. xmlObject = xmlObject.changeType(schemaType); // I specify the type to validate against. return xmlObject.validate(); // I perform validation. This always returns false... And here is the schema snippet that defines the type that is held in schemaType: <xsd:simpleType name="productType"> <xsd:restriction base='xsd:string'> <xsd:enumeration value='truck'/> <xsd:enumeration value='car'/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> I get an error (not an exception) when xmlObject.validate() is called; I used XmlOptions.setErrorListener() to get the error info. Here is the error: Message: Invalid type Location of invalid XML: <product>car</product> Does the mailer thread I linked earlier mean that I can't validate programatically this way? The types I'm dealing with are completely unknown before runtime, as these are end-user-specified schemas and values. Compiling these into Java classes isn't an option for this application. If the way I'm doing it is wrong, is there another way?
