Omitting validation error message

Hi,

Right now in Xerces 1.6, an error message "Unknown element 'elementname'",
appears when you attempt to validate a document that has no DTD/Schema
declaration.  Although the document is well-formed etc., once the validation
switch is turned on before parsing, an error will occur.  This never
happened in Xerces 1.5.  Is there a way to omit validation errors if the
document is OK but the validation switch was turned on before parse?  Or is
there a better way to have Xerces automatically determine whether there is a
DTD declaration needing validation or no DTD declaration, henceforth, no
validation.

Thanks,
Siehnai

Use setValidationScheme(SAXParser::Val_Auto)

Use SAXParser::setValidationScheme(SAXParser::Val_Auto);
(similarly for DOMParser, IDOMParser ... etc.)
