RE: Validating against an explicitly provided schema with SAX

you could also use

 

org.xml.sax.EntityResolver

 

see the javadocs for details

Hi Andy,

 

If you want to override the schema referred from the instance document, you can use the http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation property.

 

See: http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/properties.html#schema.external-schemaLocation for more details.

 

Cheers,

Rahul.

Subject: Validating against an explicitly provided schema with SAX

Hi,

 

I'm writing an application which allows users to upload XML files to an online J2EE application, which then inserts their data into a database for processing. I am providing users with an XML schema file online, which will allow them to validate any files they create before they upload them.

 

Once a file has been uploaded, I want my server-side application to re-validate their XML files before attempting to process their data. To do this, I need to ignore the schema they have (maybe) specified with the root element, and re-specify the schema which is to be used. This should stop users from simply uploading any old valid XML file, for example a completely unrelated XML file which is valid as no schema has been specified.

 

O'Reilly's XML In A Nutshell tells me I should be able to do this with SAX, but I can't seem to find any info on how. Can anyone help me out?

 

Andy
