Re: Can I stop SAX validation from resolving non-approved namespaces?

[Jeff Greif]

No.  The xsi:schemaLocation attribute is just a hint to the parser about where to find the schema.  If you attach an EntityResolver to the parser (in its constructor, or by some method like setEntityResolver) you have complete control of how any URIs are looked up.  You can resolve particular namespaces to your fixed copy of the schemas in question (and can make local copies of common ones found on the Internet to avoid redundant network activity).   Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2003 8:07 AM Subject: Re: Can I stop SAX validation from resolving non-approved namespaces? Hi Joseph, Wouldn't this mean I would have to write my own version of the validate function?
