XML validation without attention to the Schema possible?

[Sven Bauhan <sv...@ast.dfs.de>]

Hi,

I parse xml data defined after a XML Schema. As this Schema is not available 
via URI, I tried to use an entity resolver, but did not manage to get it 
working.

Without the XML Schema the xml validation gives lots of errors about unknown 
xml tags which are defined in the Schema. Is there a way to validate just 
against pure XML without paying attention to the XMLSchema?

Thanks,
Sven

I already saw these properties, but I do not understand how they can be used. 
Is there an example or guideline available for this feature?

What I found were the features:
- http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema 
- http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking 

I'll have to try, if these fulfill my needs.

Using external schema locations properties is probably an easier way, see:

http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/program-dom.html#DOMBuilderProperties

for DOMBuilder (there are similar properties for SAX).

See the validation-related property:
