[jdom-interest] Validation strategy

[Michael Kay]

It rather depends how the messages are distinguished. If they are all in
disjoint namespaces, you could simply write a superschema that imports all
the others, and then do strict validation against that. If the schemas have
overlapping definitions, it's a bit more complicated. But if you can't tell
us the rules for choosing a schema, then no-one else can!
 
The fact that you are asking on a JDOM list also suggests that you have made
some decisions about the processing pipeline, and these decisions may
constrain the answer.

I receive messages in the form of an XML document. I am able to receive up
to 44 different messages, and i therefor also have 44 different xml schemas.


When i receive a message, how do I know which schema to use to validate
against?? 

my current code is this, and it works smoothly.


SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(" org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser ",
true);
builder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema
<http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema> ", true);
        
builder.setProperty(
    "
<http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation>
http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",

    "schema1.xsd");
        
//Load the xml
Document document;
document = builder.build("incoming.xml ");
