Hello Xercianer,
I have to validate a XML file against a XSD and tried the java version
of xerces for this task.
I simply installed Xerces (2.8) and the sample-jar and called
java sax.Writer -v -f -s foo.xml 1>/dev/null | grep Error
I'm not interested in the output. Because I'm on Unix I redirect
the output to /dev/null and I grep stderr for "Error" to detect
all kind of errors. If the return code of grep is 0 then the XML file
is not valid.
My questions:
1. Is there a better java-xerces "tool" for doing that task
(something like xmllint in java) ?
(I missed the possibility to suppress the output via a command line
switch.)
2. Is it reliable to grep for Error in stderr ? Are there situations there no
Error-line is printed but the XML is still corrupt ?
(The C++ version of Xerces comes with samples too and when I call
SAX2Print ... I'm able to detect validation/parse errors via the return
code
of the program. This seems not the case with the java version.)
Best regards,
Thomas
