Method Detail

validateDoc

public static XsdValidation.Result validateDoc(Reporter reporter,
                                               URL docUrl,
                                               String topElName,
                                               String topElNamespaceUri,
                                               boolean includeSummary)

Validates a given document XML document against its declared schema. If an expected top element name is supplied, a check is also made that the top element of the validated document matches it.

Getting this right seems to be remarkably painful. See comments in the implementation for details.

Parameters:

reporter - destination for validation messages

docUrl - URL of XML document to validate

topElName - expected name for top element; may be null

topElNamespaceUri - expected namespace for top element; only used for reporting messages, and ignored if topElName is null

includeSummary - if true, report an end-of-stage type summary

Returns:

validation result
