xindice and xml schema
Hi all,
can xindice validate an xml document via xml schema before storing it? And what is the situation for every other native xml database?

Majirus,
You'd in your own code import the XML processor packages as
you would any package, instantiate the processor, and use it
as you would any XML parser/processor. No different. If you
don't know how to do that, either snoop around in the Xindice
org.apache.xindice.xml.dom package (which is the compressed
DOM package), or if you don't want to use the compressed DOM,
just a normal DOM, you'd just instantiate a processor as part
of Sun's Java2. If you're not using Sun's Java 2, you'd have to
locate the documentation on how to create and use XML parsers
using your Java version. Sun has an API called JAXP that you
should probably familiarize yourself with -- in doing so you'll
find documentation on how to set up and use general-purpose
XML processors. A number of the major Java implementations use
the JAXP API, which insulates you from having to know about
which Java implementation is available.
Hope that helps,
Murray

Thank Murray,
The think i don't know until now is that: how to access to an xml processor integrated to an native xml database like xindice?

It's really not the job of a database to validate XML content.
The task falls to an XML processor. If you're running Xindice
you have access to an XML processor (i.e., Xindice won't run
without one), so you can use the XML processor to perform the
validation at any stage during document processing, not just
prior to storage.
Because Xindice can use a variety of XML processors, it's only
a question of whether the specific XML processor you're using
supports validation via XML Schema. Xerces, for example, does,
as well as JAXP, the XML processing that's part of Sun's Java 2.

It's really not the job of a database to validate XML content.
The task falls to an XML processor. If you're running Xindice
you have access to an XML processor (i.e., Xindice won't run
without one), so you can use the XML processor to perform the
validation at any stage during document processing, not just
prior to storage.
Because Xindice can use a variety of XML processors, it's only
a question of whether the specific XML processor you're using
supports validation via XML Schema. Xerces, for example, does,
as well as JAXP, the XML processing that's part of Sun's Java 2.
