[jdom-interest] Validation strategy

[Søren Faltz]

Sorry for the lack of information.

First of all this has to do with JDOM because that's the parser i want to
use.

Each of the 44 message types has a <MessageType>TypeA</MessageType> tag.

So i wont know before i open the message what type it is. And that's bugging
me.

Also the message type is indirectly described in the root element by a
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="TypeA.xsd" attribute

my code is the following

SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser",
true);

builder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",
true);
builder.setProperty(
                "
http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",

                "TypeA.xsd");

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

Because I am not using namespaces, it's not possible to add more than one
xsd file in the setProperty method... if i used namespaces, i could add as
many as i wanted to, and then the problem would be solved.
