I think the Xerces schema validation is "fully baked". Xerces
supports Sun's JAXP interface for schema validation, so you can do
this:
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
spf.setValidating(true);
spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
SAXParser p = spf.newSAXParser();
p.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage";,
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";);
And then you're ready to go. There's a Xerces-specific way to do it
too. Also note that with Xerces, "full checking" of schema is off by
default, meaning that it does not perform some more complicated and
time-consuming checks. Also take a look at the XMLGrammarBuilder
sample in the Xerces source (class xni.XMLGrammarBuilder) for more
ideas.
I assume this is what you were asking and not really "how to write a
parser".
