B.46.1 Usage

The usage of xsdvalidate is

   stilts <stilts-flags> xsdvalidate schemaloc=<namespace>=<location> ...
                                     topel=[{<ns-uri>}][<local-name>]
                                     verbose=true|false uselocals=true|false
                                     [doc=]<location>

Parameter values are assigned on the command line as explained in Section 2.3. They are as follows:

doc = <location>       (InputStream)

Location of XML document to validate.

schemaloc = <namespace>=<location> ...       (String[])

Assignments of override schema locations to XML namespaces. One or more assignments may be supplied, each of the form <namespace>=<location> where the location may be a filename or URL. Multiple assignments may be made by supplying the parameter multiple times, or using a space character as a separator.

Each assignment causes any reference to the given namespace in the validated document to be validated with reference to the XSD schema at the given location rather than to a schema acquired in the default way (using xsi:schemaLocation attributes or using the namespace as a retrieval URL).

topel = [{<ns-uri>}][<local-name>]       (String)

Local name of the top-level element expected in the parsed document. If the actual parsed top-level element has a local name differing from this, an error will be reported. If no value is specified (the default) no checking is done.

uselocals = true|false       (Boolean)

Whether to use local copies of VO schemas where available. If true, copies of some IVOA schemas stored within the application are used instead of retrieving them from their http://www.ivoa.net/ URLs. Setting this true is generally faster and more robust against network issues, though it may risk retrieving out of date copies of the schemas.

[Default: false]

verbose = true|false       (Boolean)

If true, some INFO reports will be displayed alongside any ERROR reports resulting from the parse. This may be useful for diagnosis or reassurance.

[Default: false]
