[jdom-interest] Document validating in memory (JDOM beginner)

[Christian Holmqvist, IT, Posten]

Hi!

I had a thread here about realtime validation when building XML (from the
code i.e. not with a stream!!) documents with JDom for about 1,5 years ago. 

The idea was kind of simple, 
* a wrapper for the Document that instantiated with a DTD/Schema. (To keep
realtime validation seperated from "Normal" Document handling.
* X (elements, attributes what ever) is created in normal fashion (without
attachment to a document).
* as the X is added to the wrapper controlles if it is a valid object to add
at the point of the document the curser is positioned.
* if incorrect, exception is thrown or some other form of indication.

So what is the hard part of this? Well first a step by step validator kind
of a debugger running step by step operations...

The drawback is ofcourse that the performance of the document handling with
the wrapper would be impacted, but when the document is done it IS done!!

If I don't recall incorrectly I think it was you Jason that discarded this
idea as not inside the JDom scope... *smile*
