Class SchemaValidator

  org.deegree.commons.xml.schema.SchemaValidator

public class SchemaValidator
extends Object

Provides utility methods for the easy validation of XML instance documents against XML schemas and for the validation of XML schema documents.

Validation of instance documents

The XML schemas are either determined from the xsi:schemaLocation attribute of the document or may be explicitly specified. The validator uses the RedirectingEntityResolver, so OGC core schemas are not fetched over the network, but loaded from a local copy.

Method Detail

validate

public static List<String> validate(InputStream source,
                                    String... schemaUris)

Validates the specified XML instance document according to the contained schema references ( xsi:schemaLocation attribute) and/or to the explicitly specified schema references.

Parameters:

source - provides the XML document to be validated, must not be null

schemaUris - URIs of schema documents to be considered, can be null (only the xsi:schemaLocation attribute is considered then)

Returns:

list of validation events (errors/warnings) that occured, never null, size of 0 means valid document

Validates the specified XML instance document according to the contained schema references ( xsi:schemaLocation attribute) and/or to the explicitly specified schema references.

Parameters:

url - provides the XML document to be validated, must not be null

schemaUris - URIs of schema documents to be considered, can be null (only the xsi:schemaLocation attribute is considered then)

Returns:

list of validation events (errors/warnings) that occured, never null, size of 0 means valid document
