XML - XSD - Java

[prasanna kanth]

Hi pals, I am in urget neeed.

Acctuly, I am validating the XML with XSD, my problem is When we validate It required a Name of the XML(file path), but I am generating the XML by code, so its in a string,It will show the error at runtime.

What I need is - Is there is any method which will takes the String contents as parameter...
(or)
any converter this available...

public boolean validateXML(String XMLSource)
    {
        try
        {
            Schema schema = compileSchema("NBO.XSD");
            Validator validator = schema.newValidator();
            validator.setErrorHandler(new MyErrorHandler());
            // Here the below one take a file name of the xml - but I need as String format
            validator.validate(new StreamSource("NBO.xml"));            
        } catch(Exception ex)
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            System.out.println("GET CAUSE:");
            ex.getCause().fillInStackTrace();
            return false;
        }
        return true;        
    }

Any point would be highly appricated...

If you just look a little more deeply into the StreamSource javadocs you will see that any InputStream or Reader can be used. See java.io.StringReader for the missing part.

Hi,

Thanks for your valuable time & your point.
I just converted a String into a reader, now this working fine...

Reader reader = new StringReader(XMLSource);
validator.validate(new StreamSource(reader));

With Cheers,
