FORM VALIDATION

["Chance, Sam" <sg...@nps.navy.mil>]

Can someone tell me how to do form validation of an xml document against
its schema on the client side, prior to storing the xml doc in Xindice?

I am a new developer and I have a small Xindice webapp that stores
bibliography instances.  I would like to be able to validate the add
form against its schema prior to submitting to Xindice.

Thank you!
Sam

Doing a JAXP parse with validation turned on should be sufficient as 
long as you're using a parser that does Schema validation.  The latest 
version of Xerces should do it for you.
