Hi, I am using the xerces 2.6 parser to validate xml documents against their schema. I have even set the correct features required for schema checking (as in samples/sax/Counter.java). But, for some weird reason, my xml documents are not getting validated. Also, the parser does not complain about any features not being supported.
JDK VERSION: java version "1.3.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode) XERCES VERSION: xerces-2_6_0 I am enclosing the code where I set the features. I would appreciate your help with this. /** Namespaces feature id (http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces). */ protected static final String NAMESPACES_FEATURE_ID = "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces";; /** Namespace prefixes feature id (http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes). */ protected static final String NAMESPACE_PREFIXES_FEATURE_ID = "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes";; /** Validation feature id (http://xml.org/sax/features/validation). */ protected static final String VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID = "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation";; /** Schema validation feature id (http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema). */ protected static final String SCHEMA_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID = "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema";; /** Schema full checking feature id (http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking). */ protected static final String SCHEMA_FULL_CHECKING_FEATURE_ID = "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking";; /** Dynamic validation feature id (http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/dynamic). */ protected static final String DYNAMIC_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID = "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/dynamic";; /** Default parser name. */ protected static final String DEFAULT_PARSER_NAME = "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"; /** Default namespaces support (true). */ protected static final boolean DEFAULT_NAMESPACES = true; /** Default namespace prefixes (false). */ protected static final boolean DEFAULT_NAMESPACE_PREFIXES = false; /** Default validation support (false). */ protected static final boolean DEFAULT_VALIDATION = true; /** Default Schema validation support (false). */ protected static final boolean DEFAULT_SCHEMA_VALIDATION = true; /** Default Schema full checking support (false). */ protected static final boolean DEFAULT_SCHEMA_FULL_CHECKING = true; /** Default dynamic validation support (false). */ protected static final boolean DEFAULT_DYNAMIC_VALIDATION = false; /** * Initializes the features and sets up the parser. * * @throws SAXException if the features cannot be set. */ protected void initializeParser(XMLReader parser) throws SAXException { // set parser features try { parser.setFeature(NAMESPACES_FEATURE_ID, namespaces); } catch (SAXException e) { System.err.println("warning: Parser does not support feature ("+NAMESPACES_FEATURE_ID+")"); throw e; } try { parser.setFeature(NAMESPACE_PREFIXES_FEATURE_ID, namespacePrefixes); } catch (SAXException e) { System.err.println("warning: Parser does not support feature ("+NAMESPACE_PREFIXES_FEATURE_ID+")"); throw e; } try { parser.setFeature(VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID, validation); } catch (SAXException e) { System.err.println("warning: Parser does not support feature ("+VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID+")"); throw e; } try { parser.setFeature(SCHEMA_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID, schemaValidation); } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException e) { System.err.println("warning: Parser does not support feature ("+SCHEMA_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID+")"); throw e; } catch (SAXNotSupportedException e) { System.err.println("warning: Parser does not support feature ("+SCHEMA_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID+")"); throw e; } try { parser.setFeature(SCHEMA_FULL_CHECKING_FEATURE_ID, schemaFullChecking); } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException e) { System.err.println("warning: Parser does not support feature ("+SCHEMA_FULL_CHECKING_FEATURE_ID+")"); throw e; } catch (SAXNotSupportedException e) { System.err.println("warning: Parser does not support feature ("+SCHEMA_FULL_CHECKING_FEATURE_ID+")"); throw e; } try { parser.setFeature(DYNAMIC_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID, dynamicValidation); } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException e) { System.err.println("warning: Parser does not support feature ("+DYNAMIC_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID+")"); } catch (SAXNotSupportedException e) { System.err.println("warning: Parser does not support feature ("+DYNAMIC_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID+")"); } } void start() { XMLReader xmlReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader (DEFAULT_PARSER_NAME); // Sets the features. initializeParser(xmlReader); BufferedReader fileReader = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (new File (_fileName))); xmlReader.setContentHandler (this._handler); xmlReader.setErrorHandler (this._handler); } Thanks a lot, Ashwin. ===== Ashwin Desai. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
