RE: XML schema support in JAXP

[Dylan Walsh <Dylan.Walsh@Kadius.Com>]

Yes and no. To my knowledge, Crimson, the parser that comes with JAXP1.1
does not support Schema and may never do so. However Xerces 1.4 and
greater do. 

I *think* that current versions of Xerces conform to the JAXP1.1 spec,
and if so,  you can plug it in instead of Crimson, and carry on using
JAXP the same way. You will have to read the JAXP docs, I believe this
is a system property or something similar. 

You will, however, have to set some special parameter to get Xerces to
actually do Schema validation. Consult the Xerces docs.
