Validate XMLagainst schema

[MLakshmanan@parkseed.com]

I'm pretty new to XML. Pardon me if the question is naive. I need the reply
pretty urgent.

I'm trying to validate a XML file against XML schema using a java
program.I've xerces 2.6(xercesImpl,xalan et.al).  It seems to parse and
gives out errors like "tag not closed" and stuff like that. But it doesn't
validate against the schema file(namely tableSchema.xsd).  Can anyone help
me?

My java code:
               String schemaSource="tableSchema.xsd";
               SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
               factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
               factory.setValidating(true);
               factory.setFeature
("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema";, true);

               SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
               XMLReader xmlReader = saxParser.getXMLReader();

               xmlReader.setProperty
("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation";,
                               "http://localhost:8080/ParkSeed/";
+schemaSource);
               xmlReader.setErrorHandler(new DefaultHandler());
               xmlReader.parse("database.xml");
