[jdom-interest] Validation using DOMBuilder

[Kevin.Bedell at sunlife.com]

Hello -

I'm new to the list though I've been using JDOM since I bought the first
edition of the Java XML book. I once taught an XML class and specified the
first edition as the text book - about 30 copies worth!

Anyway, I'm using JDOM now on a web services project where I receive an
org.w3c.dom.Document from the web sevice. I receive the
org.w3c.dom.Document and immediately use it to construct an
org.jdom.Document.

I use this code fragment to do the transformation:

        // Convert the XML Document object from DOM to JDOM
        org.jdom.input.DOMBuilder jdomBuilder = new org.jdom.input.DOMBuilder();
        org.jdom.Document requestJDOMDoc = jdomBuilder.build(requestDOMDoc);

What I'd like to do is specify a DTD and have my DOMBuilder perform
validation when I call jdomBuilder.build(requestDOMDoc). What I have to do
otherwise is "manually" validate the xml after I get back an
org.jdom.Document.

How would I modify the code fragment to accomplish this (assuming I
can....)?

Thanks -

Kevin
