Using XMLSchema DOM and SAX in JAXP 1.2

Using XMLSchema DOM and SAX in JAXP 1.2

To take advantage of the power of XMLSchema in a SAX or DOM application, you simply have to set two properties. In JAXP 1.3, use the javax.xml.validation package.

The two properties are:

http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguagehttp://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource

In a “SAX application”:

...SAXParserFactory SAXpf=SAXParserFactory.newInstance();...                      SAXpf.setNamespaceAware(true); SAXpf.setValidating(true); ...SAXParser SAXparser=SAXpf.newSAXParser();                      ...try{                         SAXparser.setProperty ("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage",      "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");}catch (SAXNotRecognizedException e) {   System.out.println("ERROR:"+e.getMessage());}SAXparser.setProperty( "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource",   new File("C://Data_Local//XML//XMLSchema//AutoDealer.xsd"));

– in a “DOM application”:

...DBF=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();...       DBF.setNamespaceAware(true);DBF.setValidating(true);...try{                         DBF.setAttribute( "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage",      "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");}catch (SAXNotRecognizedException e) {   System.out.println("ERROR:"+e.getMessage());}DBF.setAttribute( "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource",    "C://Data_Local//XML//XMLSchema//AutoDealer.xsd");
