XML parser in junit not validating schemas

[Steve Loughran <st...@apache.org>]

I have a fun little problem

1. unit tests for code that validates XSD documents -and which therefore 
request validation


         XMLReader xerces = 
XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
 
xerces.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true);

2. intelliJ idea, which runs the tests happily from the in-IDE test runner

3. ant command line , which fails with

Feature 'http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema' is not 
recognized.

org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException: Feature 
'http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema' is not recognized. at 
org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.setFeature(Unknown Source)

the command line is running forking ant with XML Reporting.


Observations
(a) we have xerces, cos it is what I asked for and got in the stack trace
(b) there is an up to date version of xerces in ant/lib (the one that 
comes with Xom1.0alpha5)
(c)  but it isnt recognising the schema stuff

I am wondering if this is an endorsed directory thing. It also looks 
like something relatively easy to write a unit test for, given that is 
what I already (accidentally) have.

Anyone else hit this?

Is that up to date?  Ant's own should be.

Which JDK?

The easiest thing to do would be to explicitly pass your "good"
version of Xerces on the bootclasspath in the JUnit task - this is
what Gump does to defeat the built-in parser without installation of
Xerces and Xalan's CVS HEAD into the endorsed directories.
