Validating xml with external schema

Hi,
I want to validate a xml against an external schema using java and the xml WILL NOT contain any reference to the schema. Any help in the matter is most welcome.
A typical example of such an xml is given below:
<Envelope >
<Body>
" Some content here"
</Body>
</Envelope>
I used the following code but it did not validate the xml.It simply parsed.
public class TestParser {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          final String JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE = "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage";
          final String JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE = "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource";
          try {
               SAXParserFactory saxpfactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
               saxpfactory.setNamespaceAware(true);//
               saxpfactory.setValidating(true);//
               SAXParser parser = saxpfactory.newSAXParser();
               parser.setProperty(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");//
               parser.setProperty(JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE, "http://www.w3.org/2001/06/soap-envelope");//
               parser.parse(new File("C:\\TEMP\\request.xml"), new DefaultHandler());
          } catch (FileNotFoundException fileNotFoundException) {
               fileNotFoundException.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IOException ioException) {
               ioException.printStackTrace();
          } catch (SAXException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println("exiting main ");

In the schema root element xs:schema add namespace declaration.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
In the XML document root element add xmlns:xsi and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes.
<root_element xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="file://c:/testing.xsd">

Error validating xml with xsd schema on JSDK 1.4

Hi All,
Asked to me do it a Web Service client in Java and validate its xml answer with an xsd file using 1.4 plataform.
I googled and I saw many samples to 1.5 plataform, and few samples to 1.4, but anyway I tried to do what they asked to me.
I got connect with service, got the response and so I went to validate that xml with an xsd file.
But I got an error on that task. The error occurs in the following line

Validating XML with external dtd without doctype specified in xml

Hi,
I am very new to SAX, DOM and things..but I am really pulling my hair to find the soln., I have tried to search soln but I found many people asking same question but hardly anyone was satisfactory.
My problem is that I have xml file without doctype specified in it, but I have dtd available on my system.
I have tried to set MyEntityResolver which implements EntityResolver in documentBuilder but its only getting called (resolveEntity method of MyEntirtyResolver), only when I add doctype to the xml (which is not what I want) and not when there is no doctype in the xml. I have set "factory.setValidating(true)" and I also have errorHandler in place.
But why EntityResolver is not invoked when its needed most. ie. when doctype is not available in xml ?...it complains that DOCTYPE must match root=null , which is obvious because no DOCTYPE in xml.
code is as follows:
please help me ..if anyone has any idea about this ....
Main class is :
public static void main(String args[]){
          Document document=null;
          ErrorHandler defaultHandler=new MyDefaultHandler();
          String xmlFile="note.xml";
          try{
               System.out.println("Starting...");
             boolean validXML = true;
             DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
             factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
             factory.setValidating(true);
             try {
                ExternalResolver er = new ExternalResolver();
// addURL is just a method which sets string in a map to be retrieved by resolveEntiy
                er.addURL("D:\\SAXnDOM\\SAXProject\\note.dtd");
                DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                 builder.setEntityResolver(er);
                 builder.setErrorHandler(new MyDefaultHandler());
                builder.parse(new File(xmlFile));
             resolveEntity of ExternalResolver is as follows:
public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
               throws SAXException, IOException {
           System.out.println("********resolvedEntity:" +publicId +" and "+systemId +"******");
         if ( urlMap != null && urlMap.get(systemId)!= null ){
             try {
                 return new InputSource(new FileReader(systemId));
             } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                 System.out.println("[ERROR] Unable to load entity reference: " + systemId );
         return null;
public void addURL(String filePath) throws MalformedURLException{
          addURL(new File(filePath).toURL());
     public void addURL(URL url) {
         if ( urlMap == null ){
             urlMap = new HashMap();
         urlMap.put(url, null);
     }

Its working.... its working ...
problem was in resolveEntity, that stupid if condition was removed like this:
public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
               throws SAXException, IOException {
           System.out.println("********resolvedEntity:" +publicId +" and "+systemId +"******");
            try {
                 return new InputSource("D:\\SAXnDOM\\SAXProject\\note.dtd");
             } catch (Exception e) {
                 System.out.println("[ERROR] Unable to load entity reference: " + systemId );
         return null;
     }Other change is (which I didnt like ) is that in my xml, I had written fake doctype like :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE note SYSTEM "fakenote.dtd">
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
<Prashant>prdfjfdj</Prashant>
</note> in above code fakenote.dtd doesnt exist anywhere ..its just to bypass that doctype:null error.
So my guess is that EntityResolver overrides doctype in the xml and applies its own doctype (note.dtd in this case)
But new proble comes...what if i dont want to add any doctype ..not even fake in xml ?
Hope my stupid mistakes will find someone usefull..

Issue in Store XML into Schema generated tables and Validation XML against registered schema.

Hello friends,
I am facing some problem when store xml into generated tables from registered schema.
This is my Schema
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.abc.inf.in/test" targetNamespace="http://www.abc.inf.in/test" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">

<xs:element name="project" type="student">

Not giving full because it's too long.
1. I Successfully registered Schema into database
2. Then i generate table from registered Schema
2. In my java code i validated XML document against Schema and it's successfully validate.
3. But when i stored this XML into this generated table it's give me error
Like :
INSERT INTO XMLTABLE
VALUES
(XMLTYPE(bfilename('MYDIR','testabc.xml'),NLS_CHARSET_ID('AL32UTF8')))
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-31061: XDB error: XML event error
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LSX-00333: literal "94032000" is not valid with respect to the pattern
And i have to store this xml into this tables so what i have to do ?

Thanks for your reply odie_63.
I got this my error solution. My XML document is not well structured based on my registered XML Schema.
Means In My XML Document there are some invalid value and that not match my schema pattern so it's gives this error
SQL Error: ORA-31061: XDB error: XML event error
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LSX-00333: literal "94032000" is not valid with respect to the pattern
For Solution we have two ways
1. I have changed this literal "94032000" value in my xml file then save it.
2.
- We have to delete this schema then
- we have to change Schema pattern for particular element
like :--
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:whiteSpace value="preserve"/>
<xs:pattern value="[0-9]{3}"/>
</xs:restriction>
- then store xml into database it works..
Thanks.

Does XDB supports validating xml against multiple schemas?

The XMLType has some methods for validating an xml documents against a schema, e.g., SCHEMAVALIDATE, etc.. does XDB support validating xml against multiple schemas (Just like what JAXP or Xerces have done)? Or what's the current situation about this issue? thanks.

did you try using the import schema element instead of the include elemnt?

Problem validating XML with XSD

Hi everyone. I have an xsd schema and I want to validate some XML doc with the schema using SAX parser.
The user make the xml and then upload it to the server.
I want to enable client side validation but, for security reasons, I want also to validate this document when it's uploaded to the server.
The schema called ContentSchema.xsd
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     targetNamespace="www.mysite.com/Content" xmlns="www.mysite.com/Content">
     <xs:element name="content">
          <xs:complexType>
A document produced by the client starts in this way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p:content xmlns:p="www.mysite.com/Content" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="www.mysite.com/Content ContentSchema.xsd">
in this way users can validate the XML doc before uploading. If the XSD is in the same folder of the uploaded XML the validation is ok.
The problem is that, on the server, I've stored the xsd file in a folder and I want the SAX parser to use this xsd to validate the XML. Even I pass the complete URI of the file to the parser, it won't work:
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
          spf.setValidating(true);
          spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
          spf.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true);
          spf.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking", true);
          SAXParser sp=spf.newSAXParser();
          sp.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation", schemaURL );
I set the schemURL with setProperty method but it's like the parser is looking for the XSD in the URL declared in the XML doc and not in the URI I specify. Anyone can help me?
Thank you very much

You will have to associate the schema with the namespace, like in your xsi:schemaLocation attribute.
Try something like this:
sp.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation", "www.mysite.com/Content "+schemaURL);

ORA-31020 when using XML with external DTD or entities

I'd like to parse XML documents against a modular DTD that references other DTDs. This works fine with Oracle 9i. But after upgrading to 11g, the parsing of XML-instances fails and DBMS_XMLPARSER.parseClob produces ORA-31020.
The same error occurs even if I simply try to store XML with a reference to an external DTD as xmltype:
SQL> select xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><!DOCTYPE ewl-artikel SYSTEM "http://www.foo.com/example.dtd"><test>123</test>') from dual;
ERROR:
ORA-31020: Der Vorgang ist nicht zulässig, Ursache: For security reasons, ftp
and http access over XDB repository is not allowed on server side
ORA-06512: in "SYS.XMLTYPE", Zeile 310
ORA-06512: in Zeile 1
How can I use external DTDs on remote servers in order to parse XML in an 11g database??? Any ideas for a workaround? Thanks in advance!

This is my PL/SQL validation procedure:
procedure validatexml (v_id in number default 0) is
PARSER DBMS_XMLPARSER.parser;
DTD_SOURCE clob;
DTD_DOCUMENT xmldom.DOMDocumentType;
XML_INSTANCE xmltype;
BEGIN
-- load DTD from XDB repository
SELECT httpuritype('http://example.foo.de/app1/DTD1.dtd').getclob() into DTD_SOURCE from dual;
-- load XML instance
select co_xml into XML_INSTANCE from tb_xmltab where co_id=v_id;
-- parse XML instance
PARSER := DBMS_XMLPARSER.newParser;
xmlparser.setValidationMode( PARSER , false);
xmlparser.parseDTDClob( PARSER , DTD_SOURCE , 'myfirstnode' );
DTD_DOCUMENT := xmlparser.getDoctype( PARSER );
xmlparser.setValidationMode( PARSER , true );
xmlparser.setDoctype( PARSER , DTD_DOCUMENT );
DBMS_XMLPARSER.parseClob( PARSER , v_xml );
DBMS_XMLPARSER.freeParser(PARSER);
htp.print('<P>XML instance succesfully validated!<P>');
end validatexml;

How do i fix the above mentioned problem ?
Thanks in Advance.

Validate with the JAXP DOMParser instead of the JAXP SAXParser.
To validate with a SAXParser use the xerces SAXParser.

Validating xml doc using schema

I was wondering if you can the following validation of an xml document using schema:
<parent>
    <child>Jogn</child>
    <child>Hanna</child>
    <child>Blake</child>
    <childCount>3</childCount>
<parent>the childcountValue equals the number of child node. is this possible using
schema or do do i have to use an application to do this?
thanx in advance

thanx dvohra, but i already know how to validate schema using a parser.
I'm looking for a way in the schema that specified thhat the total number of child elemnt equals to the integer value of the childTotal element. I don't even know if this is possible. If possible, what (tag) would i use. i don't need answer..hint would be nice.
my other solution is to write an application that use a SAX parser to parse the xml doc. Although this is relatively easy, i would like to keep the validation within on file (the schema)..rather than have it be in the schema and a ContentHandler.

Validating xml with dtd

Hi,
         I have found a piece of code through google, to validate an xml file with an external dtd file. which is
           function validateDocument()
                xmlDocumentObject = new ActiveXObject("microsoft.XMLDOM")
                xmlDocumentObject.onreadystatechange = changeHandler
                xmlDocumentObject.load('C:\\My.xml')
            function changeHandler()
           and for that we need to a import i.e #import "C:\WINDOWS\system32\msxml4.dll"
          here when i try to import "msxml4.dll" in Acrobat javascript (js) file, it is giving error, application exits.
           How can i import dll in Acrobat javascript to get some functionality, or if not
          What someother way to achieve this(To validate xml with dtd file).
         This is totally making me crazy, please someone help me on this issue.
thanks in advance.

Problem validating XML file with external schema file

Hi All
I am having trouble at the moment trying to validate an xml file using an external xsd file that sits on my server. I have followed the basic option but at the moment to no avail. I am using a DOMParser and am setting all the features and properties correctly ... well I think I am anyway.....below is a fragment of the code
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser ();
// Setting the validation on for the parser.
parser.setFeature ( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true );
parser.setFeature ( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true);
parser.setProperty ( "http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/externalnoNamespaceSchemaLocation", "c://testing.xsd" );
parser.setErrorHandler ( this );
I am getting an error telling me that the root element cannot be found.....see below
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'mainhome'.

In the schema root element xs:schema add namespace declaration.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
In the XML document root element add xmlns:xsi and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes.
<root_element xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="file://c:/testing.xsd">

IllegalArgumentException - error validating xml with schema

I'm trying to validate an XML document using the following:
JAXP 1.2
Xerces 1.4.4
JDK 1.4.1
The xml is valid and I can confirm it with XML Spy when I point it to the schema definition. But, I get an IllegalArgumentException when I try to do it in my class.
Here's the code...
public static final String JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE = "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage";
public static final String W3C_XML_SCHEMA = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
public static final String CIS_SCHEMA = "D:\\dev\\xml\\cis.xsd";
public static final String[] SCHEMAS = { W3C_XML_SCHEMA, CIS_SCHEMA };
private static DocumentBuilderFactory dbf;
private static DocumentBuilder db;
try {
     dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
     dbf.setValidating(true);
     dbf.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, SCHEMAS);
} (catch ...) {
I get the following error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage
Any ideas?

When I tried this with Xerces SAX, I got---
org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage
Maybe Xerces has not implemented the schemaLanguage property.
I have been successfully using Xerces-dependent properties to do validation:
XMLReader parser = saxParser.getXMLReader();
parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces", true);
parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true);
parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking", true);
if (noNamespaceSchemaLocation!=null) {
parser.setProperty(
"http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",
noNamespaceSchemaLocation);
if (schemaLocation!=null) {
parser.setProperty(
"http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation",
schemaLocation);
Also, as DrClap pointed out, for the schema location I use URIs.
Please let me know if you got the jaxp schemaLocation property to work and how you did it.

JDOMException thrown validating XML against a schema with Xerces2

I'm trying to validate a document with JDOM and Xerces 2.
I can validate it with XMLSpy (it works, my document is valid).
But with JDOM and xerces, this error occurs when parsing and validating my document:
org.jdom.JDOMException: Error on line 6 of document file:///E:/developpement/SitePerso/xml/xml/listeEntreprises.xml: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content starting with element 'item'. The content must match '(("":nom){0-1},("":item){0-UNBOUNDED})'.
My XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<liste xmlns="E:/developpement/SitePerso/xml/domain~1/schemaListe" ... E:\developpement\SitePerso\xml\schemas\schemaListe.xsd">
<item xsi:type="xsel:typeEntreprise">
<xsel:nom>PHOENIX I.S.I.</xsel:nom>
<xsel:groupe>Taffioles</xsel:groupe>
<xsel:adresse>2 rue du centre</xsel:adresse>
The element <nom> before <item> is not required. So what's the problem ?
