I kept on trying with the DTD validation, but I'm quite a XML newbie. One drawback of DTD validation is that Java XML API are really strict. If a document is not well formed, the validation can't be done as the parser stops. That's why I was looking for specific HTML library. The best would be to have results like those from the W3C validator (tag not closed, DTD violation but also hints), but I think I should stop dreaming.
So far, I didn't try with local copies of DTD, as the XML parser is able to get the DTD from the internet. But it's a good idea to have local copies as I noticed long delay for validation, think it was coming from the DTD retrieval. I'll keep on working on this if my job allows me to, perhaps my first contribution to JMeter :-) Cheers, Arno -----Message d'origine----- De : sebb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoy� : samedi 23 avril 2005 12:15 � : JMeter Users List Objet : Re: validating HTML with JMeter Why not just enhance XML Assertion to add DTD validation as well? Or maybe XPathAssertion. There does not yet seem to be an XML Schema for XHTML, otherwise that could presumably be used as it is. Seems unnecessary to have yet another Assertion. In any case, presumably one would need local copies of the relevant DTD to allow this to work when offline. Or have I misunderstood this completely? S.
