isn't a parser. It's a document tree model. You invoke a parser to build
the document model. You can insert other things into the pipeline between
parsing and tree construction, for example schema
validation.</FONT></SPAN><BR><BR>Each of the 44 message types has a

mechanisms to pick up the appropriate schema, given this schema location. At
this point this certainly has nothing to do with JDOM, and I bow out
because it's not my area.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
