schema problems -> questions

[David Stephenson]

Hi,     I would like to be able to do the following things with the Xerces library:   1) validate just a schema.     I am writing a tool  which reads/writes XML Schema's and I would like to be able to validate the schema, even if I don't have a instance doc for that schema.   2) validate against local schema when validating an instance doc.     I would like the validating parser to ignore the schema location hint (present or not) and use a well known local schema instead (probably from a list of acceptable local schemas).   how does one perform these operations with the current Xerces2? or are these enhancement bugs?   Cheers     David     David Stephenson Web Services HPMD Hewlett-Packard Phone:++1-408 3436141 Fax: ++1-408 3436777 Telnet 343-6141 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
