Look in the castor.properties file.
# True if all documents should be validated by the marshalling framework
#
org.exolab.castor.marshalling.validation=true
...so when you invoke marshal() or unmarshal() on a generated value object,
castor will throw validation exceptions where necessary.
I'm not sure why this next property is helpful, but it is important to
understand it:
# True if xml documents should be validated by the SAX Parser
#
org.exolab.castor.parser.validation=false
The first property invokes castor-generated java the performs the same validation as
the schema.
The second property invokes the parser's validator.
If you want to kick off the validation manually, invoke this:
org.exolab.castor.xml.Validator validator = new
org.exolab.castor.xml.Validator();
validator.validate(myGeneratedValueObject);
Hope that helps,

Subject: [castor-dev] Data validation using schema
I know that Castor provides means to validate data against a XML schema,
yet I am not yet able to figure out just how.
Can anyone please briefly list out the main steps required for a task as
described below :
The problem :
There are order types A, B...
Corresponding XML schema are A.xsd, B.xsd ..
Depending on some ext parameter, we have to :
1. Instantiate correct order type : new A() / new B()
2. Take correct schema : A.xsd / B.xsd
Now, we have to validate the marshaled object (from 1) against the
schema (from 2)
i.e.
obj = new A() / new B() // <-- depending on external parameter
schema = A.xsd / B.xsd // <-- depending on external parameter
validate ( obj, schema ); // <====== how do I do this
Thanks,
S
