Hello, I am new to Castor and I am really blocked on XSD validation. I have an XML and an XSD to validate this XML. I succeeded in writting a mapping file to converter my XML into my business objects but now I would like to add the validation of the XML. I looked at the example on the web site but I am sorry, I don't understand. Can you tell me why there is xsi:schemaLocation="http://castor.exolab.org/ mapping.xsd" in the mapping file ?
I have the following XML : <jb_xs:REQUEST xmlns:jb_xs="http://www.jb.com/jb_xs"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.jb.com/jb_xs request.xsd"> <jb_xs:RequestIdentificatio> <jb_xs:source>OrderManagement</jb_xs:source> <jb_xs:request_id>2</jb_xs:request_id> ... And the following XSD : <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://www.jb.com/jb_xs"; xmlns:jb_xs="http://www.jb.com/jb_xs";> <xs:element name="REQUEST"> <xs:complexType> ... And the following castor.properties : org.exolab.castor.parser.namespaces=true org.exolab.castor.sax.features=http://xml.org/sax/features/validation,\ http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema,\ http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking So I tried with the following castorMapping.xml file according to your example : <mapping xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns="http://castor.exolab.org/"; xmlns:jb_xs="http://www.jb.om/jb_xs"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://castor.exolab.org/ mapping.xsd"> ... But when I run my Java code, I have the following error : org.exolab.castor.mapping.MappingException: Nested error: org.exolab.castor.xml.MarshalException: schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'mapping.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>.{File: file:///C:/Sonic/Workbench7.6/workspace/MPv3_EnrichTransform/castorMappi ng.xml; line: 6; column: 69} Can anyone help me please because I am really lost. Thanks in advance. Regards. JB
