Is there any one that can help me to :
1- validate the well-formedness of the xml
2- validate it against a DTD
Thanks

Validating XML documents against a DTD

Guys I am new to XML and I have this requirement to validate a XML document against a DTD.This validation has to be done through my java application.In short , a user enters a XML data thru a JSP form ,and moment he presses the SAVE button my java program should validate the XML data against a DTD and then display any error or else save the data into an Oracle table.
I was wondering lot of program/utitlities must be available out there which will do the validation for me ,rather than me re-inventing the wheel.
Please advice.
Thanks
Manohar.

You should go through this to learn more on XML with Java :
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/excerpt/learnjava_23/index1.html
You can check following how to to parse XML doc against a schema
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/xdk/SchemaValidation/SchemaValidation.html
You should also look at chapter 4 of following doc for parsing XML using java :

Got exception when validating against a DTD

We are using the XML Parser for Java v2.
We created an instance of DOMParser, called parseDTD with a valid dtd file and called getDocType to obtain a handle to the DTD object.
Then, we created a SAXParser and called setDocType(myDTD), where myDTD in the step above and called setValidationMode(true)
We then use the SAXParser instance to parse an XML document that contains errors and we got the following exception:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 101
at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.error(XMLError.java:103)

We don't get this exception if we use small files. We only get this if we use slightly larger files (>10000 lines)
What is causing this exception? Any work arounds? Thanks.

Was my fault. It worked fine !!

How to use Xerces to validate an XML file against a DTD

Hi, can anybody tell me how to use Xerces to validate an XML file against a DTD. its urgent. post some sample code. it would be helpful for my project. isupposed to use SAX parser(Xerces)
Thanx in advance

Come on, I googled "xerces validate" and the first link is the Xerces FAQ:
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/faq-general.html
And of course "how to validate" is a Xerces FAQ. Help yourself by doing a little research instead of waiting for other people.

XML validation against XSD

Hi,
Does Oracle 8i (Release 3) support XML validations against XSD? I know Oracle 9i (Release 2) supports XML validations against XSD.
Also, Does Oracle support XML validations against XDR?
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
Pavan

Validate with DOMParser or the SAXParser.

XML validation against DTD.. Is it possible?

Hello all,
Sorry for what may be a trivial post, but I'll keep it short..
According to the docs:
"The Validate XML command will validate the XML against the schema defined in the XML file. This command on the context menu is disabled whenever an XML file does not have an XML namespace defined."
I'm used to the XML editor retrieving a DTD from somewhere and validating it against that.. is it possible to do this in JDev?

Unfortunately it's not. We only have support for validating against XML Schemas.

XML validation against DTD

Hi,
I have an application that receives XML from an external source. The XML received does not have the XML version and the doc type declaration lines. I want to validate the XML against a DTD.
One dirty way of doing this is to open the XML received and prepend the XML versions and doctype lines to it. And then parse the XML. But is it the right way to do it?
What I would like to know is that does the XML parser provide any API which can tell it to validate an XML document against a certain DTD.

Yes, there is an API to do this. You have to do something like this:
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf =DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setValidating(true);
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
XMLErrors eh = new XMLErrors(frame);
db.setErrorHandler(eh);
Document doc = db.parse(f);
(where f is the XML file)
In this example, the class XMLErrors is used as the ErrorHandler. XMLErrors extends the DefaultHandler class and provides the user with information about the various error levels. A call to the over-ridden "error" method notifies the user (using a Dialog box) that the document doesn't meet the DTD.
Hope this helps.

XML validation against schema in XSD format

I have a requirement for validation of XML file against XML schema(XSD format). Using IXML liabrary I know how to validate XML file against schema in DTD format. But i am not getting how to do it against XSD. Is it possible using IXML liabrary? Also i wanted to know how to attach one XML or CSV file into another XML file using SAP ABAP.
Please provide solution!!

Hi Madhura,

Obviously, the w3c.org domain that you specified as ressource location is very slow - and, as the FAQ shows, this delay is intentional!
The W3C servers are slow to return DTDs. Is the delay intentional?
Yes. Due to various software systems downloading DTDs from our site millions of times a day (despite the caching directives of our servers), we have started to serve DTDs and schema (DTD, XSD, ENT, MOD, etc.) from our site with an artificial delay. Our goals in doing so are to bring more attention to our ongoing issues with excessive DTD traffic, and to protect the stability and response time of the rest of our site. We recommend HTTP caching or catalog files to improve performance.

Question about XML validation against schema

My question is probably a basic one about XML. I tried PurchaseOrder example from the book "J2EE Web Services" by Richard Monson-Haefel. A simplified version as followings -
Address.xsd -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address"
xmlns:addr="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<element name="address" type="addr:USAddress" />
<complexType name="USAddress">
<sequence>
<element name="name" type="string" />
<element name="street" type="string" />
<element name="city" type="string" />
<element name="state" type="string" />
<element name="zip" type="string" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</schema>
PurchaseOrder.xsd -
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/PurchaseOrder"
xmlns:po="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/PurchaseOrder"
xmlns:ad="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<import namespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address" schemaLocation="Address.xsd" />
<element name="purchaseOrder" type="po:PurchaseOrder" />
<complexType name="PurchaseOrder">
<sequence>
<element name="accountName" type="string" />
<element name="accountNumber" type="unsignedShort" />
<element name="shipAddress" type="ad:USAddress" />
<element name="total" type="float" />
</sequence>
<attribute name="orderDate" type="date" />
</complexType>
</schema>
Then PurchaseOrder.xml is -
<purchaseOrder orderDate="2007-12-12"
xmlns='http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/PurchaseOrder'
xmlns:addr="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:schemaLocation='http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/PurchaseOrder ../xsd/PurchaseOrder.xsd'>
<accountName>Starwood</accountName>
<accountNumber>220</accountNumber>
<shipAddress>
<name>Data Center</name>
<street>1501 Washington St.</street>
<city>Braintree</city>
<state>MA</state>
<zip>02148</zip>
</shipAddress>
<total>250</total>
</purchaseOrder>
Then I did a XML validation but have this error -
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'name'. One of '{"http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address":name}' is expected. [19]
It complains <name> tag in <shipAddrss> needs namespace of "http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address". Why?
Is it possible to change XML so it does not need name space for elements inside <shipAddress>?
Thanks

Using XSL on XML validated against XSD

Transforming XSD validated XMLType Data
Re: example XSL in Chapter 6 that transforms XML with associated XSD schema definition (Oracle 9i XML Database Developer's Guide)
I noted that this XSL uses only the "general" node identification functions (e.g., name() ) to access nodes in the <xsl:value-of select..>. I have also noted that standard XSL templates from other sections of the documentation, for example in Chapter 3 and in Appendix D, do not work with an XML which is validated against an XSD schema.
Can anyone give me an example <xsl:value-of select..> that addresses a specific node in the "purchase order" example, like the shipTo, name, street -- or any other specific node. This is critical since there is always bound to be node-specific processing in any transformation, and this is not demonstrated by any example of XML which has been validated against an XSD.
I have tried this endlessly on my own examples of XML w/XSD validation. Even if the value-of select="name(.)" tells you that the name of the node is "FooBar", you cannot use FooBar as a select test to do FooBar specific processing.
Help?????

Not quite understand your question. Can you send me the example doc?

Validating against a DTD specified externally

Hi all,
I don't know if this is possible (well anything is possible):
I would like to validate an XML file from a DTD that I specify. The problem that I have is that the XML is generated by an external system and it can be deployed either on a unix or windows architecture.
I load the XML from file located on either architecture and I want to control the location on either system where the DTD is kept and if possible tell the validator what DTD to use. I am having problems using relative paths when specifying the DTD in the XML and the company doesn't want to use an external public URI.
I am using Java 1.4 and SAX 2.0 . Any pointers or help would be very much appreciated [code is even better ;-)]

Hi,
I cant seem to make the EntityResolver work properly. I was tasked to validate a lot of XML files but they do not have a DOCTYPE entity because the location of the dtd is configurable.
i have stripped down the xml to only contain the root for brevity of testing but i am still stuck. the xml is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ngui full="f" r="f">
</ngui>and my validation code is this
public class SimpleXMLValidator {
public boolean validate(String xmlFilePath, String schemaFilePath){
        boolean validXML = true;
        System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory",
                           "org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
        factory.setValidating(true);
        //factory.setAttribute("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage",
                                      "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" );
        //factory.setAttribute("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource",schemaFilePath);
        try {
            DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
            ExternalResolver er = new ExternalResolver();
            er.addURL(schemaFilePath);
            builder.setEntityResolver(er);
            builder.parse(new File(xmlFilePath));
        } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
            validXML = false;
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SAXException e) {
            validXML = false;
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            validXML = false;
            e.printStackTrace();
        return validXML;
   private class ExternalResolver implements EntityResolver{
        private HashMap urlMap = null;
        public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId){
            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);
}If I hardcode the DOCTYPE then the file passes through the validation. and printout the System.out that I placed in the entity resolver. However I am getting the following exceptions:

QUESTION: XML validation against a schema - for beginners

Hi folks,
i am new to XML validation.
i would like to find out how to validate an XML file using a schema given to me by a third part company.
the business process requires that our company sends a weekly file which complies with their schema.
in real-life, i am expecting some details of our file to fail against their schema.
thus i would like to find a way validating the file localy before sending it to this third part.
this validation would ideally allow me to highlight and identify which records are failing the validation, and enable me to strip those and send only those that are successfully checked.
on the example below, i would expect to have the record for John Smith to be successful (country has an integer); while Queen Victoria would fail as it uses UK instead of an integer to identify the country.
thus i would need to find a way validating this XML file, move the record of Queen Victoria to another file to be fixed and to allow, the record for John Smith to be sent out.
if you guys could post some links to where i can find further information on this type of processing, i would be most grateful.
Many thanks,
Nicolas

i would need to find a way validating this XML file, move the record of Queen Victoria to another file to be fixed and to allow, the record for John Smith to be sent out.I don't think any automated tool or API available with such features. You should achieve this by some tricky logic/code.
