Well, I'm not a *complete* newbie, but close. I've developed a fair amount in CF, and a bit in XML. I have an application which receives an XML document and validates it against a DTD. It works, but a lot of it was monkey-see-monkey-do: copying code or following procedures with not much understanding. Now the client wants it to validate against a schema and I'm stumped. As I understand it, this requires MSXML4. Their sysadmin assures me this is installed. An XML friend of mine gave me this procedure:
- Set up a schema doc object (IXMLDOMSchemaCollection2). I use the add method, with first argument (url) set to "", and second argument, a string representing my schema document. - Setup a DOM object (IXMLDOMDocument2) for my XML doc (the one to be validated), and use the loadxml method which also takes a string argument representing the text of my xml file. - Check for the DOM object's validate.errorCode. If its 0, success, otherwise report the error. But I get "Error trying to create object specified in the tag....COM error 0x800401F3. Invalid class string" on the IXMLDOMSchemaCollection2 call. I get a similar error if I try it in ASP. I tried the TorchBox tags, and I'm able to load and dump a document (trying to transform gives me another error, but that's another issue), but while validation is turned on, I don't know how to make it validate against a schema. -- Alan Little Holotech Enterprises -----------------------+ cf-xml mailing list http://torchbox.com/xml/list.cfm
