Hi I am pretty new to XML and I have a doubt about XML Doc. validation
against a schema.
I have a schema file in d:/jdk1.3/bin named sch.xml
My xml file also resides in the same directory. I want to parse this xml
file and validate it against my schema.
The schema definition goes like this
<Schema name="Root"
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
....
....
<ElementType name="Root" content="eltOnly"> <AttributeType name="version"
dt:type="float" required="yes"/>
In my xml file i have the following
<Root version="0.1" >
..............
...........
</Root>
We are using the xerces DOM parser from apache. In our code we have set
the validation property to true. the code is like this
class validate implements ErrorHandler
{
....
....
DOMParser parser=new DOMParser();
parser.setFeature("http://org.xml/sax/features/validation",true);
....
...
}
The error, fatalerror and warning methods of the ErrorHandler interface
have been implemented.
When i run the program it gives me an SAXParseException :" Element type
"Root" must be declared."
"Element type "ID" must be declared." etc.
I feel my parser is not able to locate my schema for the purpose of
validation. How do i specify the location of my xml schema file to the
parser. How do i specify the url of urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data in
my xml file, the xsi attribute.
My xml file is currently like this
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root version="0.1">
............
..........
</Root>
How do i specify the location of my schema(present in d:\jdk1.3\bin\) to
my file. Do i need to implement any other thing.
pls throw light on this with some examples
Thanks in Advance
