I'd like to know how I can activate, or checks thant the incoming XML file fulfill the given DTD, and If the result is success, applying my xslt to it.
I'm using Xerces, Xalan. Hi Xalan, With Xerces-J what you need to do is set the dtd validator to true. Then within your xml you make a reference to a DTD or include the actual DTD. Usually a reference is the way to go. The parser will then compare but not report any errors. Take a look at the following URL that I found helpful when I ran into the same hurdle: http://www.ecerami.com/xerces/ At the bottom of the page there is reference to the validation....... with an example. Kind regards, Pete
