Hi Cath,
The getGrammarDocument method returns a Document object, which is one of the things that building a plain vanilla DOM tree from the schema document will provide you with. Xerces needs to build such a thing itself when it reads in the grammar, since it builds its internal representation of a schema grammar by traversing a DOM tree created from the schema. As to the API docs: Yes, they definitely need work, there's no question there. Perhaps a good way to become familiar with what the methods do would be to undertake to fix some of the API documentation limitations? If you (or anybody else) were to undertake such a thing and submit some patches I'd love to commit them.

What I actually tried to do with the code is probing what getGrammarDocument() will give me. I was hoping it to be a valid template of some sort for the XML document, based on XML Schema. But if I understand you correctly, this fDocument will give just the same thing the DOMParser#parse(schema document) will give me then.. ?

My 'programming-experience' is only 2 months old so far, so I hope you won't be bothered with a lot more questions from me.. One small newbie question; is there any plan to elaborate the API documentation in near future.. ? > Keep me informed on how your project goes.

I'll look at the XMLValidator later today :) cath --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
