[jdom-interest] re: xml schema support

[Joshua and Louise Fox]

How to we make Xerces-DOM (on top of which we're running JDOM), use
schema-validation?

What we want to do is

   parser.setFeature( 
       "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", 
       true)

to the underlying Xerces parser, but we can't figure out how to access the
underlying Xerces parser from JDOM.
 
Thanks,
