XML Validation with Sun Multischema XML Validator

Dear readers,
I am able to parse an XML file and validate it with a W3C-schema.
But has anyone ever tried and succeeded in validating a part of an XML file or DOMDocument? It should go with the Sun MultiSchema Validator.
Available @ http://wwws.sun.com/software/xml/developers/multischema/
If anyone has a nice working example for validating a part of an XML-file it would certainly come in handy!
I think it has something to do with that Acceptor interface...
Any help is welcome.
Regards
Bram

Solved the problem myself...
Dukedollars are removed.
You can use Sun multischema validator in combination with dom4j and
manipulate your XML doc in memory. And also validate on Node level!

Problem when trying to load an XML document with DTD or XML SCHEMA

Hello
I have tried to load an XML document in Data Services, and I created the xsd file and Dtd file. (With altova xml spy software automatically) to import into SAP Data Services 3.2. .
In Data Services I created the dtd import file DTD and then called the XML file from the DTD (the xml file is validated vs the dtd file), and I could not read the xml correctly because it tells me that an ELEMENT called <item> expected joiners who did not come in the structure of import (dtd), but if the xml.
I understand that the document root is the label: CUSTOMER_FULL_2014, the data flow is as follows:CARGA_XML_CUSTOMER |
Turns out the joiners element is used to separate the xml elements are repeated, but is used at different levels. My idea is that the design will dtd second, or something I'm missing or is incorrectly stated.
Thank you.

Hi Juan Juan,
I generated a new XSD file using MS Visual Studio based on your XML file.
The empty spaces in the source is replaced with <Null> in the target table.

Problem inserting and querying XML data with a recursive XML schema

Hello,
I'm facing a problem with querying XML data that is valid against a recursive XML Schema. I have got a table category that stores data as binary XML using Oracle 11g Rel 2 on Windows XP. The XML Schema is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

                                                       <xs:element name="parlist" type="parlist_type"/>
                                        </xs:choice>
                              </xs:complexType>
                    </xs:element>
                                                            </xs:sequence>
                                                            <xs:attribute name="id"/>
                                        </xs:complexType>
                    </xs:element>
</xs:schema>I registered this schema and created the category table. Then I inserted a new row using the code below:
insert into category_a values
(XMlElement("category",
      xmlattributes('categoryAAA' as "id"),
      xmlforest ('ma categ' as "name"),
      (xmlelement("description", (xmlelement("text", 'find doors blest now whiles favours carriage tailor spacious senses defect threat ope willow please exeunt truest assembly <keyword> staring travels <bold> balthasar parts attach </bold> enshelter two <emph> inconsiderate ways preventions </emph> preventions clasps better affections comes perish </keyword> lucretia permit street full meddle yond general nature whipp <emph> lowness </emph> grievous pedro')))
The row is successfully inserted as witnessed by the results of row counting. However, I cannot extract data from the table. First, I tried using SqlPlus* which hangs up and quits after a while. I then tried to use SQL Developer, but haven't got any result. Here follow some examples of queries and their results in SQL Developer:
Query 1
select * from category
Result : the whole row is returned
Query 2
select xmlquery('$p/category/description' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category
Result: "SYS.XMLTYPE"
now I tried to fully respect the nested structure of description element in order to extract the text portion of <bold> using this query
Query 3
select xmlquery('$p/category/description/text/keyword/bold/text()' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category_a
Result: null
and also tried to extract the text portion of element <text> using this query
Query 4
select xmlquery('$p/category/description/text/text()' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category_a
Result: "SYS.XMLTYPE".
On the other hand, I noticed, from the result of query 1, that the opening tags of elements keyword and bold are encoded as the less than operator "<". This explains why query 3 returns NULL. However, query 4 should display the text content of <text>, which is not the case.
My questions are about
1. How to properly insert the XML data while preserving the tags (especially the opening tag).
2. How to display the data (the text portion of the main Element or of the nested elements).
The problem about question 1 is that it is quite unfeasible to write a unique insert statement because the structure of <description> is recursive. In other words, if the structure of <description> was not recursive, it would be possible to embed the elements using the xmlelement function during the insertion.
In fact, I need to insert the content of <description> from a source table (called category_a) into a target table (+category_b+) automatically .
I filled category_a using the Saxloader utility from an flat XML file that I have generated from a benchmark. The content of <description> is different from one row to another but it is always valid with regards to the XML Schema. The data is properly inserted as witnessed by the "select * from category_a" instruction (500 row inserted). Besides, the opening tags of the nested elements under <description> are preserved (no "<"). Then I wrote a PL/SQL procedure in which a cursor extracts the category id and category name into varchar2 variables and description into an XMLtype variable from category_a. When I try to insert the values into a category_b, I get the follwing error:
LSX-00213: only 0 occurrences of particle "text", minimum is 1which tells that the <text> element is absent (actually it is present in the source table).
So, my third question is why are not the tags recognized during the insertion?
Can anyone help please?

Hello,
indded, I was using an old version of Sqlplus* (8.0.60.0.0) because I had a previous installation (oracle 10g XE). Instead, I used the Sqlplus* shipped with the 11g2database (version 11.2.0.1.0). All the queries that I wrote work fine and display the data correctly.
I also used the XMLSERIALIZE function and can now display the description content in SQL Developer.
Thank you very much.
To answer your question Marco, I registered the XML Schema using the following code
declare
doc varchar2(4000) := '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

end;then, I created the Category table as follows:
CREATE TABLE category_a of XMLType XMLTYPE store AS BINARY XML
    XMLSCHEMA "xmldb/category_auction.xsd" ELEMENT "category";Now, there still remains a problem of how to insert the "description" content which I serialized as a CLOB data into another table as XML. To this purpose, I wrote a view over the Category_a table as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "AUCTION_XWH"."CATEGORY_V" ("CATEGORY_ID", "CNAME", "DESCRIPTION") AS
select category_v."CATEGORY_ID",category_v."CNAME",
XMLSerialize(content ( xmlquery('$p/category/description/*' passing object_value as "p" returning content)) as clob) as "DESCRIPTION"
from auction.category_a p,
xmltable ('$a/category' passing p.Object_Value as "a"
columns category_id varchar2(15) path '@id',
          cname varchar2(20) path 'name') category_v;Then, I wrote a procedure to insert data into the Category_xwh table (the source and target tables are slightly different: the common elements are just copied wereas new elements are created in the target table). The code of the procedure is the following:
create or replace PROCEDURE I_CATEGORY AS
v_cname VARCHAR2(30);
v_description clob ;
v_category_id VARCHAR2(15);
cursor mycursor is select category_id, cname, description from category_v;
BEGIN

/*retrieving the columns*/
fetch mycursor into v_category_id, v_cname, v_description ;
exit when mycursor%notfound;
insert into category_xwh values

              v_description as "description")
end loop;
commit;
close mycursor;
END I_CATEGORY;When I execute the procedure, I get the following error:
LSX-00201: contents of "description" should be elements onlyso, I just wonder if this is because v_description is considered as plain text and not as XML text, even if its content is XML. Do I need to use a special function to cast the CLOB as XML?
Thanks for your help.

Parse XML document with LINQ TO XML

Hello,
I need to parse an XML Feed that looks like this:
<ContentAPI xmlns="http://www.geneity.co.uk/genbet/ContentAPI" status="OK" timezone="UTC" msg_stamp="NzMzNzUzNzE6MTAyMTppdA==" version="1.0" request="get_sports">
<Sport sport_code="FOOT" name="Calcio" has_events="Y" disporder="-2"/>
<Sport sport_code="TENN" name="Tennis" has_events="Y" disporder="1"/>
<Sport sport_code="BASK" name="Basket" has_events="Y" disporder="2"/>
<Sport sport_code="VOLL" name="Pallavolo" has_events="Y" disporder="4"/>
<Sport sport_code="HAND" name="Pallamano" has_events="N" disporder="5"/>
<Sport sport_code="ICEH" name="Hockey su Ghiaccio" has_events="Y" disporder="6"/>
<Sport sport_code="AMFO" name="Football Americano" has_events="N" disporder="7"/>
<Sport sport_code="BASE" name="Baseball" has_events="Y" disporder="7"/>
</ContentAPI>
I want to use LINQ TO XML in order to read it into an object var.
This is the code that i wrote but i doesn't work...
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(string.Format("myURL....."));
var Sport = from feed in xdoc.Descendants("Sport")
select new
_sport_code = feed.Attribute("sport_code").Value,
_name = feed.Attribute("name").Value,
_has_events = feed.Attribute("has_events").Value,
_disporder = feed.Attribute("disporder").Value
foreach (var s in Sport)
The program doesn't run inside the foreach loop...
for sure the problem is on the linq to xml query...
Thanks for your help

Hello, I'm back again...
Now I have to parse a second file XML with some little differences on the track:
<ContentAPI xmlns="http://www.geneity.co.uk/genbet/ContentAPI" status="OK" timezone="UTC" msg_stamp="NzM1NTQ5MDQ6MTAyMTppdA==" version="1.0" request="get_classes_for_sport">

<SBClass sb_class_id="14603" name="Euro 2016" has_events="N" disporder="-1000"/>
</Sport>
</ContentAPI>
The C# code to get the SBClass elements is this:
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(string.Format(url_Get_Region_By_Lang_Sport, pCodLang, pCodSport));
var SportRegion = from _SportRegion in xdoc.Descendants(XName.Get("Sport", "http://www.geneity.co.uk/genbet/ContentAPI")).Descendants("SBClass")
select new
CodSport = _SportRegion.Attribute("sport_code").Value.Trim(),
SbRegionId = _SportRegion.Attribute("name").Value.Trim(),
Region = _SportRegion.Attribute("has_events").Value.Trim(),
HasEvents = _SportRegion.Attribute("disporder").Value.Trim(),
RegionOrder = _SportRegion.Attribute("disporder").Value.Trim()
foreach(var sptr in SportRegion)
The program doesn't step inside the foreach loop...

Catch all error information while validating xml content with xsd schema

Hi experts,
I created a java mapping to validating the input xml content with xsd schema (schema validation). What I want is to catch all error message to the xml not just the first error. I used SAXParser in sapxmltoolkit.jar to do the schema validation. The below is a part of my java mapping.
XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.SAXParser");
parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation" , true);
parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema" , true);
parser.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");          parser.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource",this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(schema)); // schema is my schema name
parser.setErrorHandler(new ParseErrorHandler()); // ParseErrorHandler is my own ErrorHandler which extends DefaultHandler
parser.parse(new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(sinput.getBytes())));
// In error handler, I comment all code so as not to throw any exception
public class ParseErrorHandler extends DefaultHandler
     public void error(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException
          // sSystem.out.println("Error" + e.getMessage());
          // throw e;
     public void fatalError(SAXParseException e)
          // throw e;
          // System.out.println("SAP Fatal Error" + e.getMessage());
Unfortunately the program always stopped while catching the first error. Check the below log.
com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException:

XML validation with JDOM / JAXP

Hello,
I am trying to validate xml file against schema file. I decided to use JDOM and JAXP.
First question: is it a good choice?
I did a first attempt but not sure I have understood all what I am doing :(
First I have create a parser usinf org.jdom.*
SAXBuilder parser = new SAXBuilderThen I built my document:
Document doc = parser.build(myFile)These 2 steps are ok. But it does not do validation.
I saw in the JDOM documentation that I can set a validation flag to true. I did it. First problem, I got the following error from JDOMException: Document is invalid: no grammar found.
Is there a way to specify to the parser where to find the xsd file?
As I did not find answer to this question by myself, I tried implementing the Schema class from JAXP:
SAXBuilder parser = new SAXBuilder;
Document doc = parser.build(myFile);
Schema schema = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI).newSchema(schemaFile);
ValidatorHandler vh = schema.newValidatorHandler();
SAXOutputter so = new SAXOutputter(vh);
so.output(doc);It does the validation against the schema file specified but I am not really sure about what I am doing here. The last 2 commands are not clear to me :(
Then in my schema file, I have elements that have default value. I expected the following behavior: if the element is not in the xml file then the default will be used by the parser (and added in the tree). But it seems, it's not the case.
Any help/explanation will be really appreciated.

I am trying to validate xml file against schema file. I decided to use JDOM and JAXP.
First question: is it a good choice?
If only schema validation is required use the validation API in JDK 5.0.
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-javaxmlvalidapi.html
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/xml/validationxpath/
For validation with JDOM, the following validation application explains the procedure:import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;import org.jdom.*;
import java.io.*;
public class JDOMValidator{
public void validateSchema(String SchemaUrl, String XmlDocumentUrl){
           try{
SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser",true);<br/>saxBuilder.setValidation(true);
saxBuilder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true);
saxBuilder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking",true);
saxBuilder.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",SchemaUrl);
Validator handler=new Validator();
saxBuilder.setErrorHandler(handler);
saxBuilder.build(XmlDocumentUrl);
if(handler.validationError==true)
System.out.println("XML Document has Error:"+handler.validationError+""+
handler.saxParseException.getMessage());
else
      System.out.println("XML Document is valid");
          }catch(JDOMException jde){
            }catch(IOException ioe){
private class Validator extends DefaultHandler{
     public boolean validationError = false;
     public SAXParseException saxParseException=null;
public void error(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException{
     validationError =true;
     saxParseException=exception;
public void fatalError(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
validationError = true;
saxParseException=exception;
public void warning(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException       {
public static void main(String[] argv)   {
   String SchemaUrl=argv[0];StringXmlDocumentUrl=argv[1];
   JDOMValidator validator=new JDOMValidator();
   validator.validateSchema(SchemaUrl,XmlDocumentUrl);
}

Specifying nested element with two different XML Schema

Hello,
I am trying to convert one xml file to another file. I figure data services would be great for this.
My problem relates to how to have a source xml file with a certain xml schema be transformed to one of a different xml schema. I cannot build the nested elements of the target schema.
From the source xml I only need four fields. But they need to be nested three levels in the target xml.

Still problems serializing xml-docs with xml-parser for java v2.0.2.7

Hi !
I'm using the Oracle XML Parser 2.0.2.7.0 and get some problems when serializing the XMLDocument.
In one class (DOMOut) I parse a xml-file with the oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser, then obtain the XMLDocument and write it to System.out
In another class (DOMIn) I fetch the XMLDocument from System.in, search for a given Element and print it's TextValue (if existing) to System.out
That is where the error occurs.
I get the XMLDocument from System.in but the returning NodeList from doc.getElementsByTagName() is empty. [nl.getLength()==0] even if it shouldn't be.
Look at this code and output:
[DOMOut]
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(url);
XMLDocument doc = (XMLDocument)parser.getDocument();
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(System.out);
out.writeObject(doc); out.flush();
[DOMIn]
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(System.in);
XMLDocument doc = (XMLDocument)in.readObject();
doc.print(System.out);
NodeList nl = doc.getElementsByTagName("Name");
System.out.println("Length of NodeList: "+nl.getLength());
if (nl.getLength()==0)
System.out.println(argv[0] + ": not in this document!");
else {
XMLNode node = (XMLNode) nl.item(nl.getLength()-1);
System.out.println(node.getNodeName() + ": " + (node.getFirstChild()).getNodeValue());
This is the relevant code.
I javac both classes and then do this:
java DOMOut xmltestfile.xml > xx
java DOMIn Name < xx
And get this as output:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE course [
<!ELEMENT course (Name,Dept,Instructor,Student)>
<!ELEMENT Name ((#PCDATA)*)*>
<!ELEMENT Dept ((#PCDATA)*)*>
<!ELEMENT Instructor (Name)>
<!ELEMENT Student (Name)*>
]>
<course>
<Name>Calculus</Name>
<Dept>Math</Dept>
<Instructor>
<Name>Jim Green</Name>
</Instructor>
<Student>
<Name>Jack</Name>
<Name>Mary</Name>
<Name>Paul</Name>
</Student>
</course>
Length of NodeList: 0
Name: not in this document!
Has anyone an idea?
If I do all this stuff without serializing it works.
If I do not search for argv[0], but the string "Name" it fails.
If I do search for "*" it works fine!
I'm very confused could anybody please help me a bit??
Stefan.

XML Validation with XSD in java mapping

Hi experts,
I have created an interface to send differents messages between bussines system, the bussiness system receiver is put in the message, to get this value I have a configuration file indicating the path of this field for each message type. In a java mapping I transform the message sent in this structure:
<document>
<message>HERE THE MESSAGE AS STRING</message>
<parameters>
<sender>HERE SENDER BUSSINESS SYSTEM</sender>
<receiver>HERE RECEIVER BUSSINESS SYSTEM</receiver>
</parameters>
</document>
the messaging interface works fine, but now I have to validate the XML vs XSD. I need doing in a java mapping because the messaging interface send the message and a email to sender in error case.
To do this validation I have implemented two java mappings that works fine in my local, the first way is with class Validator of java 5, but my system PI 7.1 return an error with this class. The second way is with SAX parse:
String schema = "XXXXXxsd";
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
docBuilderFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
docBuilderFactory.setValidating(true);
docBuilderFactory.setAttribute("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(schema);
docBuilderFactory.setAttribute("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource",is);
in my local works fine but in PI always return OK never fail.
For this moment the schema is hardcoded to do proofs, in the future will be loaded from my configuration file.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

hi Jose,
PI 7.1 has a built in feature available called XML vaidations ..
your source xml can be validated against a XSD placed at a specific location on the PI server..
validation can be performed at adapter/integration engine
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d06dff94-9913-2b10-6f82-9717d9f83df1?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true

Validation with jaxp 1.3 and xml-schema

I'm totally green when it comes to xml&jaxp. Using jse 1.5 (jaxp 1.3), I'm trying
to have my app parse and validate an xml doc with xml schema. I want the validation to
happen using the schema specified in the xml doc. Also, I'd prefer if my application didn't have to set
the schema to use. As far as I can make out though, it appears that I need to parse the schemaLocation when
I want to validate using xml schema. Anyone know a way to avoid that step?
If not, then any idea why I'm getting the following err?
Error...

Code... obviously taken from junit test case...
     DocumentBuilderFactory documentFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     documentFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
     documentFactory.setValidating(true);
     DocumentBuilder builder = documentFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
     com.rwd.util.xml.Validator v = new com.rwd.util.xml.Validator(_validationStyle);
     builder.setErrorHandler(v);
     Document document = builder.parse(_document);
     where com.rwd.util.xml.Validator extends DefaultHandler. Note that if I add following
     code, then validation works as i expect it... but that's not really an option I care for (at least in this case).
     I would anticipate being able to have the parser see the XSD reference in the XML and
     apply it. Anyway, here's code to programmatically specify an XSD to use for validation....
     documentFactory.setAttribute(
     "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage",
     "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
     documentFactory.setAttribute(
     "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource",
     "file:///C:/workspace31m4/LMSTester/testData/util/xml/o.xsd");
Finally, the XML file... (example from onJava site)... Note that I've tried changing the URI to file:///c:/..., same result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

There are other applications using Xerces1.0 so the requirement is that I cannot replace the Xerces jar. Any suggestions.

XML validation with an external Schema

Hi all,
i'm testing some EJBs under oc4j and I have problems validating some XML documents against an external Schema file.
The code only uses JAXP classes and interfaces and it's already running with other application servers.
The code is:
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
dbf.setValidating(true);
dbf.setAttribute("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage",
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
The setAttribute method of the DocumentBuilderFactory throws an IllegalArgumentException meaning that this feature is not supported.
Is that true?
Someone knows another way to perform this validation without hardcoding Oracle libraries' specific code?
Thanks

XML validation with StAX

Hi,
I have a requirement to validate XMLs during JAXB unmarshalling and during StAX parsing. The schema is packaged in a jar. I am able to successfully read the schema, and validate the XML during unmarshalling by setting the schema in the unmarshaller (through setSchema()).
However, I am not able to validate it with StAX using the same schema and same XML.
Here is the code snippet for StAX:
StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(inputXMLStr);
XMLEventReader xmlEventReader = XMLInputFactory.newInstance().createXMLEventReader(stringReader);
EventFilter filter = new EventFilter() {
public boolean accept(XMLEvent event) {
return event.isStartElement();
XMLEventReader xmlFilteredEventReader = xmlif.createFilteredReader(xmlEventReader, filter);
Schema mySchema = getSchema(); // this method retrieves the schema by reading the schema files as
stream source and calling schemaFactory.newSchema(...)
Validator validator = mySchema.newValidator();
validator.setErrorHandler(new SchemaErrorHandler());
Source xmlSource = new StAXSource(xmlFilteredEventReader);
validator.validate(xmlSource);
I get a SAX Parse exception saying "cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'myElement'"
And I also see the following exception:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
     at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.StAXEvent2SAX.bridge(StAXEvent2SAX.java:171)

     at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.validation.ValidatorImpl.validate(ValidatorImpl.java:114)
     at javax.xml.validation.Validator.validate(Validator.java:127)
I am not able to figure out why the validation would work with UnMarshaller but not with StAX.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Meera

Have u tried the Stream STAX parser instead?
something like:
SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory
                         .newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
File schemaLocation = new File(XSD_FILE_PATH);
               Schema schema = factory.newSchema(schemaLocation);
// 3. Get a validator from the schema.
Validator validator = schema.newValidator();
ErrorHandler lenient = new ForgivingErrorHandler(fw);
validator.setErrorHandler(lenient);
XMLInputFactory staxFactory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
staxFactory.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_REPLACING_ENTITY_REFERENCES,
                         Boolean.TRUE);
staxFactory.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_SUPPORTING_EXTERNAL_ENTITIES,
                         Boolean.FALSE);
staxFactory.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_NAMESPACE_AWARE,
                         Boolean.TRUE);
staxFactory     .setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_COALESCING, Boolean.TRUE);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(XML_FILE_PATH);
XMLStreamReader xmlr = staxFactory.createXMLStreamReader(fis);
validator.validate(new StAXSource(xmlr));

XML validation with DTD in java 1.5 not supporting

Hi,
I am facing a problem regarding validation of xml file with DTD tag in it.
I have disabled the parser through setValidating(false) method.
xml file is not parsed in JRE 1.5.but it is parsed in JRE 1.6.
Why this is showing such a behavior?
I have used xerces 2.9.0,xml-api.jar and other jar regarding XML api but still it is giving error.
please help me.
please provide a jar file name or its issue resolution in jre 1.5 or 1.4.

thanks for your prompt reply.
I required that it should be completely disabled in jre 1.5(jdk1.5 or 1.4).
I am using DOM Parsing.I have currently disabled with follwowing method,
builderFactory.setValidating(false);
builderFactory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",
     false);
     builderFactory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-dtd-grammar", false);
     builderFactory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd",false);
     builderFactory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities", false);
     builderFactory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities", false);
     factory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);
in 1.6 it is working fine but I required that i have to disabled it.but it is giving a error in jre1.5.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.setFeature(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V
I just want to disable the parsing in jdk version 1.5 or 1.4
thanks in advance

File Adapter : read XML file with data validation and file rejection ?

Hello,
In order to read a XML file with the file adapter, I have defined a XSD that I have imported to my project.
Now the File Adapter reads the file correctly but it does not give an error when:
- the data types are not valid. Ex: dateTime is expected in a node and a string is provided
- the XML file has invalid attributes.
How can I manage error handling for XML files ?
Should I write my own Java XPath function to validate the file after is processed ? (here is an example for doing this : http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/XML/Q_21058568.html)
Thanks.

one option is to specify validateXML on the partnerlink (that describes the file adapter endpoint) such as shown here
<partnerLinkBinding name="StarLoanService">
<property name="wsdlLocation"> http://<hostname>:9700/orabpel/default/StarLoan/StarLoan?wsdl</property>
<property name="validateXML">true</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>

XML Validation with External XSD

Hi
I have a xml file having DTD declaration, but my requirment is to validate this xml file with External XSD not with DTD which is declared inside the file.
on executing java code below it is looking for DTD. how to supress validating against dtd.
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
               factory.setValidating(false);
               factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
