XML Schemas and Java XML Parsers

Hi there,

I have seen a number of tutorials for parsing an XML file with Java XML Parsers but I have failed to find any tutorial for validating an XML file according to its schema with a Java Parser.
Can anyone list any tutorial or give some sample code.

Many thanks.

The standard parsers that come with the JDK should all be validating parsers these days. So all you have to do is turn on validation when you create the object:

Code:

  // EXAMPLE:

  SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();

  factory.setValidating(true);

Here's a more elaborate example (you can easily find better, newer and more comprehensive examples, I'm sure):
