I just poked through the Xalan apidocs a bit, and found that four classes
have an isValidating() method to indicate whether a parser validates or not
(for example, see the SaxParser class).

The apidocs documentation for the XMLInterface's getFeature method
demonstrates an attempt to turn validation on if isValidating() shows that
the parser you're using doesn't have it on.

The apidocs index shows that several classes and interfaces have a parse()
method, so if this is called and validation is on, you should be all set.
