valiating xml using multiple schemas

[Arjun Shastry]

Hi,
I am trying to parse large XML files.It has to be validated using multiple XSDs.i am using java valiadtor API.the code looks like this-

   
try{
		SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
		Schema schema = null;
		 schema = factory.newSchema(xsdFile);
		  MyErrorHandler handler = new MyErrorHandler();
		 Validator validator = schema.newValidator();
		 
		 validator.setErrorHandler(handler);
		 Source source = new StreamSource(xmlFile);
		 validator.validate(source);
		 result = handler.getResult();
		}
		catch(SAXException sax){
			System.out.println("CAME IN EXCEPTION");
			result = sax.getMessage();
		}
		catch(IOException io){
			System.out.println(io);
		}
		
 

All XSDs have same namespace.The main XSD uses others using Include tag.Do you need to mention every XSD passing as an array ? or validator API will take care of this? i tried using above code but when run, i get an error as "Cannot find the declaration of element 'endOfTradePeriodNotification'." which is an root element of input XML.

schema = factory.newSchema(xsdFile);  

Is 'xsdFile' a String object or a File object?

Schema theSchema = schemaFactory.newSchema(new java.io.File(xsdFile));

Its a file object.I am able to validate and parse simple/complex files too.But problem is occuring only for some types of different XMLs.Main Schema is lke this-

  
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
	<xs:include schemaLocation="./A.xsd"/>
	<xs:include schemaLocation="./B.xsd"/>
	<!-- *********************************************** -->
	<!--*** Complexe type of the message-->
	<xs:complexType name="NY">
		<xs:sequence>
			<xs:element ref="endOfPeriodNotification" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
			<xs:element name="inventoryDate" type="xs:date">
				<xs:annotation>
					<xs:documentation>
						<definition>business inventory date (must be earlier than processingDate)</definition>
					</xs:documentation>
				</xs:annotation>
			</xs:element>
			<xs:element name="noticingDate" type="xs:dateTime">
				<xs:annotation>
					<xs:documentation>
						<definition>observation date  (for inventory or event)</definition>
					</xs:documentation>
				</xs:annotation>
			</xs:element>
			<xs:element name="processingDate" type="xs:dateTime">
				<xs:annotation>
					<xs:documentation>
						<definition>date at which the guarantee valuation is calculated</definition>
					</xs:documentation>
				</xs:annotation>
			</xs:element>
		</xs:sequence>
		<xs:attributeGroup ref="ServiceInfo"/>
	</xs:complexType>
	<!-- *********************************************** -->
	<!--*** root message element ***-->
	<xs:element name="Gloop" type="NY">
		<xs:annotation>
			<xs:documentation>
				<definition>HEHE
</definition>
			</xs:documentation>
		</xs:annotation>
	</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
  

As you can see, Gloop which is root element refers to NY. Input XML contains Gloop as root element.Also program is able to find A.xsd and B.xsd but i m getting an error "No declaration for element Gloop found"

ok. Problem was not in code.XML file needs to be transformed using XSLT before processing.
