I saw a thing in the ant documentation which you may be able to pick up a few
tips from - it sounds like what you are trying to do (although they validate
against DTDs). You may need to peek at their code to see how to do it...

Subject: Re: XML validation using xml schema string
Hi all,
Last week I sent an email regarding the xml validation against the schema, but
didn't get any reply. Please reply if any one has answer to my question. Is it
possible to validate an xml document using a schema document (not the schema
url) that is present with in the application. If its not possible, whats the
best way of achieving it. Please read my previous email below.
Thanks
Praveen
Hi all,
I want to validate an xml document with an existing schema. I know there is a
code to do it when the schema is present as a URL. BUt in my case schema is
present with in the application memory (since it is stored in the database) and
that is not the url or on the hard disk.
I have the following method which validates only when the schema is present
externally. Note that the argument Schema is a URL:
public static void DOMValidate(String XMLfile, String Schema){
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
// Instantiate the DOM parser.
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
// set the features
try{
parser.setFeature(" http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces",true
<http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces> );
parser.setFeature(" http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
parser.setFeature(" http://apache.org/xml/features/validation
/schema",true <http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema> );
parser.setFeature(" http://apache.org/xml/features/validation
/schema-full-checking",true <http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema
-full-checking> );
// convert the xml file name to a URL
String SystemId = null;
try{
SystemId = new File(Schema).toURL().toExternalForm();
} catch(java.net.MalformedURLException ex){
//ex.printStackTrace();
log.error(ex);
}
parser.setProperty(" http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema
/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",SystemId <http://apache.org/xml/properties
/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation> );
// myErrorHandler is a descendant of ErrorHandler, it should be set
here to be able to catch parse errors
parser.setErrorHandler(new SchemaErrorHandler());
} catch (SAXNotSupportedException ex){
System.out.println("SAXNotSupportedException Exception");
} catch (SAXNotRecognizedException ex){
System.out.println("SAXNotRecognizedException Exception");
}
// parse the xml file, the errorhandler class has callbacks,
// so those will be called automatically there is a parse error
try{
parser.parse(new File(XMLfile).toURL().toExternalForm());
//System.out.println("Parsed Successfully by DOM Parser");
} catch (org.xml.sax.SAXException ex){
//System.out.println("SAXException Exception");
//ex.printStackTrace();
log.error(ex);
} catch (java.io.IOException ex){
System.out.println("IOException Exception");
} finally {
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
//System.out.println("Total time of DOMValidate:"+(endTime-startTime));
}
}
How can I do the validation if the Schema is the actual schema string not the
url. This looks like a common problem. I assume that its not universal that
schema is not always stored externally.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
