Assigning a schema to an in-memory DOM Document 2003-04-17 - By Christian Nelson
Xercesites,
I've written a Java application that uses XML as a load/save format. To do
this, I create a DOM in memory and serialize it out to a file. This works
great. Now, what I'd like to do is specify what schema it's supposed to
adhere to. Basically, I want to get this line to happen:
<manufacturer xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.some.biz/schemas/manufacturer.xsd">
Instead of this:
<manufacturer>
What API call(s) need(s) to be made to make this happen, and at what point
in the process of building the Document should I associate it with the
schema (before I start added nodes, after it's all assembled)?
NOTE: I can get what seems the desired effect by making these calls:
doc.getDocumentElement().setAttribute(
"xmlns:xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
doc.getDocumentElement().setAttribute(
"xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation",
"http://www.some.biz/schemas/manufacturer.xsd");
But is that the best way? I guess I'm asking: is there a way to have
the Document know what schema it's supposed to adhere to and make sure
you're building a document that complies?
Thanks again!
Christian
