Xerces and Schema Validation

[Jay Garala]

Hi folks,

 

 I was wondering if there is a way to do schema validation on an XML that does not have the

"xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myurl.com/my# C:\Tomcat\webapps\myapp\xml\myschema.xsd"

 

in the root element.

 

I am having really bad problems combining multiple XML documents with different schemas and namescapes. 

 

I want this so.. i can manually invoke the validator (can I?)

 

<myDoc>

    <ele1>3</ele1>

    <ele2>a</ele2>

    <ele3>df3</ele3>

</myDoc>

 

myschema....

 

 

Then in a java app...

 

 

         myValidator.validate(myXML, mySchema)

 

 

Is this possible?  Or are there any other suggestions or workarounds?

 

Thanks a bunch,

 

 

Jay
