DTD Validation

Hi,

there's something about dtd validation, that's threatening to drive me  
mad.
I'd really like to check, if the document i want to process is valid.  
But the parser doesn't seem to care about validity. It only checks the  
well-formedness.

Here's an excerpt from my code:

         my $parser = XML::Xerces::XercesDOMParser->new ();
         # Parseroptionen setzen
          
$parser- >setValidationScheme($XML::Xerces::XercesDOMParser::Val_Always);
         $parser->setLoadExternalDTD(1);
         $parser->setDoNamespaces(1);
         $parser->setDoSchema(0);
         $parser->setValidationConstraintFatal(1);
         $parser->setExitOnFirstFatalError(1);
         $parser->setCreateEntityReferenceNodes(1);
         $parser->setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace(0);
         $parser->setCreateCommentNodes(0);
         # ErrorHandler setzen
         my $error_handler = XML::Xerces::PerlErrorHandler->new ();
         $parser->setErrorHandler ($error_handler);

         eval {
                 $parser->parse ($xmlfile);
         };
         XML::Xerces::error($@) if ($@);

The xml declaration of the doc contains standalone='no' and of course  
there's a line pointing to the dtd. It's really strange.

Hi Lucas,

I'm sorry that it has taken me this long to reply.

You should have gotten the folling warning:

  Name "XML::Xerces::XercesDOMParser::Val_Always" used only once:
  possible typo at /tmp/test.pl line 10. 

The variable should be in the 'AbstractDOMParser' class:

  $parser->setValidationScheme($XML::Xerces::AbstractDOMParser::Val_Always);

This should work much better.

Cheers,
jas.

Ich hab nen deutlich unschönen Workaround:

xmllint --valid --noout <Datei>

aber funktioniert.
