Parsing xml against xsd from a zip in Java

Question

I have a .zip file that contains .xml and .xsd file.

I'm reading it with a code similar to this one . Now, when I try to parse the .xml I get an error that schema is not found. How do I load the .xsd beforehand and then parse the .xml using that?

Answer 1

1. Get the ZipInputStream from the ZipFile - Reading text files in a zip archive

2. Use javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/stream/StreamSource.html

   SchemaFactory sf = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI); Schema schema = sf.newSchema(new StreamSource(xsdZipInputStream)); Validator validator = schema.newValidator(); validator.validate(xml);
