If you are using DTDs, the only standard way of controlling the DTD that is used to validate a document is to insert or replace the document type declaration within the XML document itself. An example of some software that will do this is DOCTYPEChanger. A simpler method that requires a minimum of code is to use an EntityResolver. In general, you can use an EntityResolver to override any external entity in your XML document.

Unfortunately, validation of xml documents against schemas is not currently standardised, ie the procedure for configuring this is parser-specific. Some digester maintainers feel that Digester should provide the ability to turn on document validation, and therefore the following methods have been defined on the Digester class: Digester.setValidating Digester.setSchema Digester.setSchemaLanguage If you get validation working using these, then please document the procedure here.

In database systems, we use NULL to represent the value of an attribute that is unknown or not applicable. In XML Schema, we can use nillable attribute to indicate that whether the element's content could be nil, as in and this element must not contain any content. The namespace prefix are defined as xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" There are many misspelling on the web.

Yes. If the schemaLocation attributes on these elements can be de-referenced, XML Schema Quality Checker will load all documents and include them in the quality check. Depending upon whether you accept the default of -entireSchemaValid or use -requireEachDocumentValid, the tool may issue additional messages (with the second option) if the documents are not valid schemas by themselves, even if they are valid when viewed as a whole. Yes. Use the option -wsdl or -xform.

The Schema is a blueprint of all objects in the domain and when first created a default Schema exists which contains definitions for users, computers, domains etc. Because of this, you can only have one schema per domain as you cannot have multiple definitions of the same object. The default schema definition is defined in the SCHEMA.INI file that also contains the initial structure for the NTDS.DIT (storage for the Directory data). This file is located in the %systemroot%\ntds directory.

No. But there are materials that one can use to publicize the National Day, including wristbands, temporary tattoos, pens, and more. Check out the the Campaign's online store for more information. Items will be available in February 2008.

JDOM doesn't have it's own parser; it uses standard parsers like Xerces to do the heavy lifting. If you want schema validation make sure you choose a parser that supports schemas. Xerces 2 is a good choice (get it from http://xml.apache.org). You also need to use code JDOM Beta 8 or later.

Yes. An XML schema is available for Sitemap files at http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd and a schema for Sitemap index files is available at http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/siteindex.xsd. You can also read more about validating your Sitemap.

There are several methods to programmatically specify schema locations to be used in validation. For example, you can use the xml_schema::properties argument to parsing functions to specify schema locations instead of those specified with the xsi::schemaLocation and xsi::noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes in XML documents. For more information refer to Section 5.1, "XML Schema Validation and Searching" in the C++/Tree Mapping Getting Started Guide.

Yes! We provide such a tool. Please see org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.util.XMLInstance2Schema. It's not 100% perfect, but it does a reasonable job. To enable XML validation at the parser level, please add properties to your castor.properties file as follows: org.exolab.castor.parser.namespaces=true org.exolab.castor.sax.features=http://xml.org/sax/features/validation,\ http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema,\ http://apache.

XML) How do I enter special characters in XML? There are complaints about undefined entities, such as ü, which work in HTML. XML) There are complaints about illegal bytes or characters in the input. There are odd characters in the result.

It is possible to validate documents which had not been validated at initial parsing time or documents which have been built from scratch using the API. Use the xmlValidateDtd() function.

Depends on who you ask, my answer is, no, they don't. There are some that believe that to meet the promise of Web standards that every page on a site needs to validate against the W3C's validators While I would agree that this can be helpful and a goal to strive for, I don't think it's necessary. There are varying levels of standards compliance and some common Web technologies either won't validate or need special workarounds.

the very bottom of the Full Reference page for the document there will be a clickable button that says see comments on it.

Schemas (and DTDs) are frequently part of our specifications and seemingly fall under the document copyright terms. However, as long as you do not use the same formal namespace or public identifier to identify that modified OGC schema/DTD (which might confuse applications), you may treat the schema/DTD under the software terms.

Otherwise, while schemas and DTDs are frequently part of our specifications and seemingly fall under the document copyright terms, you may use them under the W3C Software License. The software license requires that you include/retain the copyright attribution and that you indicate any modification that you make. In the case of DTDs and schema, you must indicate your change by changing the namespace and/or public identifier so to distinguish your altered version from the W3C version.

The answer is yes or no. XML spy or anyone else can make an example from xml schema or dtd easily. I also made 4 examples from my trivial DTD on my FAQ here. This does not mean you can generate XML deterministically from xml schema or dtd. If you make your algorithm a lot more complicated by using (direct) graph theory, you even can decide the root element. However, it is still non-deterministic.

Well formed" just means that all of your begin-tags have end-tags, that your <element>s are properly nested, that you're not missing any angle-brackets, and all your attributes have values.
