RE: Xerces, SAX and schema validation

[Cirip Tomas <tomas.cirip@theIMO.com>]

Leigh,

Step [2] is dbf.setNamespaceAware(true); 

where dbf is DocumentBuilderFactory. Doesn't it mean that parser being used
is DOM instead of SAX? I am new to XML but I've heard that DOM parsers
require more memory than SAX parsers? I prefer to use SAX instead of DOM,
but I need to validate XML file. Thanks

Tomas

See [1]. Basically you just need to set the SAX validation feature to true,
but judging by [2] you should also check that the parser is Namespace aware.
