XML Validation Errors?

Question

Hi all,
I am parsing an XML file passed in at the cmd line and using this method to return a boolean if depending if the validation was ok....I have successfully validated against the particular file that I am passing in against a valid XSD and it works fine. But when I do this here it gets caught as an error straight away.
Can anyone see any obvious mistakes with this code or have any suggestions?
public boolean validateXML() {
        try {
        boolean validate = true;
        parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", validate);
        //CustomerErrorHandler extends SAX ErrorHandler
        CustomErrorHandler handler = new CustomErrorHandler();
        //Install/Enable the parser to handle parsing errors
        parser.setErrorHandler(handler);
        parser.parse(args[0]);
        System.out.println("YOU ARE IN THE XMLVALIDATOR CODE NOW!!!!");
        validXML = true;
        catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println("An error has been caught, following validation");
            validXML = false;
        return validXML;
    }

Hi thanks for the response,
I did not quite get what you meant from youre last post to this question. From what I understand from the lines you gave the following 3 lines need to be added to the class:
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", validate);parser.setFeature
("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking", validate);parser.setProperty
("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation", schemaUrl);Then what I understood was to declare a String variable (schemaUrl) which is the actual location of the XML document? So in my case this would be "c://winnt/desktop/note.xml....
I was not clear on when you said:
XML document url (argv[0]) and schema document url should be file url:
file://c:/schema/xmldoc.xml
Thanks again,
