Keith,
Hmm... So this will tell the SAX parser to use validation but I need some way to tell
the parser where the schema lives. All I have in my XML document is a namespace.
This is how I currently do it using a XMLReader.
XMLReader reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
reader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation";, true);
reader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema";, true);
reader.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation";,
"http://avaya.com/namespace";
+
getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("name-of-schema-file.xsd").toString());'
It appears the features can be configured via the castor.properties file. In fact it
looks like the first validation feature is added by default.
However, the setting of the property is the problem. This mapping of a namespace URI
to a schema location URI needs to happen at runtime. So I can't specify this in a
properties file. What I really need is a what to get a handle to the SAXParser /
XMLReader instance that will be used by the unmarshaller.
Something like:
SAXParser parser = unmarshaller.getParser();
XMLReader reader = parser.getXMLReader();
reader.setProperty(...); // same as above
then call
Object obj = unmarshaller.unmarshal(...)
Please let me know if I'm way off here but I can't figure out any other way to do it.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
It should work properly. Try setting the parser validation property in
the castor.properties file.
