XML parsing based on locale

[Tze-John Tang <tz...@abbott.com>]

I have tried to search for this, but have not had any luck.  Can anyone 
tell me how I might be able to set it up so that when I validate or parse 
an XML document that I can do it based on a specific locale?  This code is 
running on a box in the US locale, but I might get data from the german 
locale, where the decimal delimiter is different.  How can I set the 
locale for the Validator or the SAX parser?

I am using the JAXP api for validating the XML.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,

If you're referring to what you can do with XML Schema the definitions of
the built-in simple types [1] are fixed. The decimal delimiter for an
xs:decimal must always be a '.'.

Thanks.
