Hmm, but then I need to load it twice, once as DOM, and once as grammar. I could live with less checks, however, I want to catch things like elements that are in the wrong place or wrongly spelt attributes that my DOM scanning code doesn't see because its not looking for such errors.

Is there a way to validate a Schema directly via DTD or Schema, without using loadGrammar?

Cheers,

Uwe

Hello folks,

My application processes XML Schema files on the DOM level (.xsd files are parsed with XercesDOMParser::parse()). However, to detect user errors in the schema files, I'd like to turn on validation for them.

Is that at all possible?

I ran some tests with the schema for schemas, which XercesDOMParser rejects (I assume that's because its built-in types are redefined). I also tried to feed the schema DTD into the parser, without success (Xerces seems to expect a schema rather than a DTD when it requests a resource for a namespace identifier)

Can anyone point me into the right direction?

I can post my test code as well if that helps.

Cheers,

Uwe
