Hi Michael Thanks for your response. I was pulled to another urgent project, so unfortunately had to leave this unfinished. However I am back now, and am keen to have another crack at getting this working.
As stated previously my requirement is as follows : > I am receiving XML documents from a number of different companies. > The documents I receive can contain a variety of different > schema/dtd declarations > eg > <!DOCTYPE OrderResponse SYSTEM "XCBL30.dtd"> > <?soxtype urn:x-commerceone:document:com:commerceone:XCBL30:XCBL30.sox$1.0?> > <Order xmlns="rrn:org.xcbl:schemas/xcbl/v3_0/xcbl30.xsd" xmlns:xsi=" > http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="rrn: > org.xcbl:schemas/xcbl/v3_0/xcbl30.xsd Order.xsd"> > or even no declaration at all. > > I want to validate the documents that I receive against a xsd > schema, disregarding the declaration contained in the document. > I am having some problems implementing the jaxp solution you suggested. I have downloaded the latest xerces-2_9_0, and jaxp 1.3. I am using the sample SourceValidator class, to do as you suggested. However I am finding that the validator does not seem to be using the schema alone to validate all my documents. eg. I have tried validating the following documents : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE OrderResponse SYSTEM "XCBL30.dtd"><Order> <OrderHeader><OrderNumber><BuyerOrderNumber>00000004</BuyerOrderNumber></OrderNumber><OrderIssueDate>20070323T09:55:10+10:00</OrderIssueDate><OrderReferences><AccountCode> ...snipped error: Parse error occurred - D:\Eclipse\Workspaces\xerces-2_9_0\xerces-2_9_0\test\XCBL30.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Order> <OrderHeader><OrderNumber><BuyerOrderNumber>00000004</BuyerOrderNumber></OrderNumber><OrderIssueDate>20070323T09:55:10+10:00</OrderIssueDate> <OrderReferences><AccountCode>...............snipped [Error] NONE_301889302696_Order.txt:2:8: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'Order'. <?xml version="1.0"?><?soxtype urn:x-commerceone:document:com:commerceone:XCBL30:XCBL30.sox$1.0?><Order> <OrderHeader><OrderNumber><BuyerOrderNumber>00000004</BuyerOrderNumber></OrderNumber><OrderIssueDate>20070323T09:55:10+10:00</OrderIssueDate><OrderReferences><AccountCode> [Error] SOX_301889302696_Order.txt:2:8: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'Order'. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Order xmlns="rrn:org.xcbl:schemas/xcbl/v3_0/xcbl30.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="rrn:org.xcbl:schemas/xcbl/v3_0/xcbl30.xsd Order.xsd"> <OrderHeader><OrderNumber><BuyerOrderNumber>00000004</BuyerOrderNumber></OrderNumber><OrderIssueDate>20070323T09:55:10+10:00</OrderIssueDate><OrderReferences><AccountCode> This document is the only one that actually performs the validation. I am not sure if I am barking up the wrong tree with what I am trying to do, or whether I just need to manipulate some features or properties of the validator ANy feedback you could give would be greatly appreciated.

You can compile your schema using the SchemaFactory [1] and then use the Schema [2] object it returns for validation. Schema location hints specified in your instance document will be ignored. There are samples [3][4] included in the binary distribution which show how to do this. Thanks.
