Validate XML Documents

The JRE 1.4.2 that ships with CF 6.1 doesn't include XSD validation as part
of its APIs. You can install and use another XML parser to do the job
(Xerces is the first that comes to mind)
You already got suggestion about the code required, the topic is covered
very well here:

Here is a good blurb on how to do it in java - pretty similar steps in

As far as I know the only java parser (last I heard anyway) that
validates with a schema is Xerces (which cf uses I think). However, I
don't think there is a standard, cross parser, way in java to do xsd
validation (unlike dtd) so there are not many java products that do xsd
validation yet.
This is quite a stretch as my cf sever is out of commission right now so
this is a totally untested code - but you could try something like:
<cfscript>
parser = CreateObject("java","org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser");
//this might be needed...
//parser.init();
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",
true);
parser.setProperty(
"http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",
"test.xsd"
);
parser.parse("test.xml");
</cfscript>
Look around on the www.apache.org site for xerces xsd validation, if cf
still uses it ... it might use Crimson ... some MM guy might chime in...
Good luck,

I guess you can use Java XML parsers
Qaso,
Thanks for the response.
This only validates a formatted XML string against a DTD.
I need to validate the XML doc against an XSD.

All,
Is there a ColdFusion Function to validate an XML Document against a its
schema?
Thanks,
