Hi,
I want to validate an XML file against its XML schema. To be more
precise, I want to validate different XML files that should conform to
different XML schemas, which represent different versions of the same
business model. Each xsd is located in its corresponding model EMF
plugin, in directory model.
I had hoped that specifying xsi:schemaLocation in the XML would be
sufficient in conjunction with an XMLResource option to activate
validation. But when I look at the schema location handling, I can't see
how this could work. Is it correct ?
As I have heavily tuned the serialization/deserialization process and as
this process is independant of the different versions, I am reluctant to
modify XMLLoad, for example to change the SAXParserFactory in makeParser().
So I have tried to use XMLResource.OPTION_PARSER_FEATURES and
XMLResource.OPTION_PARSER_PROPERTIES (see code below).
But this raises an exception org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException:
Property 'http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage' must
be set before setting property
'http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource'. This exception
comes from the fact that Xerces implementation, which is the default SAX
Parser in Sun's JDK 1.6 expects the properties in a precise order, which
is not enforced by EMF map options.
How can I simply validate the files I load ? Must I use the parser pool
to explicitly define the parser ? Isn't there anything simpler ?
To complicate things, I would like to load with XML validation errors in
resource.getErrors(), without failing if such errors occur.
Thanks in advance.

EMF does validation itself. Part of that happens while reading and the
rest when you invoke Diagnostician.INSTANCE.validate for the root object
of the resource.

To do true XML validation, you'd need to specialize the SAXParser to do
that as it parses.

Jeesh, that's kind of a bad joke. I suppose you could use a
LinkedHashMap to control the order.

There's no simpler way.

I think the errors will be recorded as long as they aren't treated as fatal.
