I have configured my castor.properties file so that I’m now getting my XML documents validated against the Schema when I unmarshall, by adding these lines:
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 But I notice that I get a “MarshalException” when the document fails to validate, instead of a “ValidationException”. For example: *org.exolab.castor.xml.MarshalException*: cvc-enumeration-valid: Value 'PFPa' is not facet-valid with respect to enumeration '[PFP, MTBS]'. It must be a value from the enumeration.{File: [not available]; line: 6; column: 54} at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.convertSAXExceptionToMarshalException(* Unmarshaller.java:794*) at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(*Unmarshaller.java:760 *) at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(*Unmarshaller.java:626 *) at org.CastorTest.validateXml(*CmhToStamps.java:378*) at org.CastorTest.testMarshallGeneric(*CmhToStamps.java:242*) at org.CastorTest.main(*CmhToStamps.java:55*) Caused by: *org.xml.sax.SAXParseException*: cvc-enumeration-valid: Value 'PFPa' is not facet-valid with respect to enumeration '[PFP, MTBS]'. It must be a value from the enumeration. at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.error(Unknown Source) ... (etc.) That’s fine, but ideally I’d like the XML parser to inform me of **all** validation errors, not just the first one it comes across. And looking at the ValidationException class, I see a getNext() method which looks like it was meant to support this feature! So how do I get Castor to throw a ValidationException when my XML document fails validation? Or another way of putting it is, is there a way for me to validate XML documents with Castor so that I find out about **all** problems, and not just the first one? I’m ok changing XML parsers, if that’s what’s needed. -Steve p.s. – I’m using the latest version of Castor, and Xerces.
