Hi Ross, If you can use JAXP 1.3 's Schema Validation API, then you can do something like :
StringReader xsdbuf = new StringReader(xsd); Schema schema = SchemaFactory.newSchema(new StreamSource(xsdbuf)); Then set the schema instance so obtained on the DocumentBuilderFactory / SaxParserFactory. Following write-ups may be of help : https://jaxp.dev.java.net/1.3/article/jaxp-1_3-article.html#Schema_Validation_Framework See the section titled : " Validation and Schema caching JAXP API" in this article. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-jaxp13a.html Hope this helps. -Prashant On Wed, 2008-04-16 at 10:10 -0700, RossOliver wrote: > Hey, > > I'm designing a servlet that takes uploaded XML and XSD files and validates > them using Xerces.
