Re: Using xml schema

[Alex Neth]

I don't use the DOMParser class.  What is the purpose of this class?  I use the following method to parse the document:

   DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
   docFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
   docFactory.setValidating(true);
   try {
     docBuilder_ = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
   } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
   }
   Document  doc = docBuilder_.parse(f);

Shouldn't enabling validation here work?

It definitely does something because I don't get the "grammar not found" error when validation is set to false.

Also, the validation "feature" has "sax" in the feature name.  I would think that means it's a SAX specific feature.

Thanks

the schema and apply fixed/default attribute values?

To get the parser to do schema validation at all, you need to set the
validation, validation/schema and namespaces features (see the Features
page of the xerces-j website for the exact feature URIs).
