Hi, it appears that the dynamic validation feature does not work as documented.
If a document that does NOT specify a schema is parsed and the grammar pool contains a matching schema (ie a schema that defines the root element of the document), the document is validated. This IS NOT what the documentation says: "The parser will validate the document only if a grammar is specified." When I googled this, I found someone who stated that: If dynamic validation is set to true, and validation is set to true, validation will only occur if a grammar is found. This appears to match the way the software works but contradicts the documentation (specified is not the same as found). Can I use grammar caching and get xerces to validate only documents that specify a schema?
