[castor-dev] MarshalException not thrown by castor

Abayomi Ayodele Thu, 06 Jun 2002 09:06:05 -0700

can I get help on this please,

I'm trying to validate an XML document before using castor to unmarshal to java objects, but castor doesn't throw

MarshalException or ValidationException

for example, with the socks sample code,

try {
System.out.println("Unmarshaling Socks");
Socks socksDocument = Socks.unmarshal(new FileReader(args[0]));

.......

     } catch (ValidationException ve) {
            System.out.println(ve.getMessage());
           ve.printStackTrace();
     } catch (MarshalException me) {
           System.out.println("Marshal Exception");
     } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }

castor.properties looks like

--------------------------------------------------

org.exolab.castor.validation=true
org.exolab.castor.indent=true
org.exolab.castor.parser.validation=true

org.exolab.castor.parser=org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
org.exolab.castor.serializer=org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer

---------------------------------------------------------

and socks.xml

------------------------------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE socks SYSTEM "http://127.0.0.1:8080/socks.dtd">
<wrongroot>
<sock number="1">
<name>black socks</name>
<image>blacksocks.jpg</image>
<color>black</color>
<price>9.99</price>
<smell>7</smell>
</sock>

</wrongroot>

-------------------------------------------------------

what I noticed is that castor doesn't throw any exception even though the XML document doesn't conform with the dtd.

the result I got was

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unmarshaling Socks
[Error] :-1:-1: Document root element "sockb", must match DOCTYPE root "socks".

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get castor to throw an exception when XML docs doesn't match DTD when trying to umarshal XML doc to java.

Kind Regards
