[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2938) org.jboss.seam.util.XML doesn't validate

[Arron Ferguson (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2938?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12428437#action_12428437 ] 

Arron Ferguson commented on JBSEAM-2938:
----------------------------------------

Not sure if:

saxReader.setEntityResolver(new DTDEntityResolver());
saxReader.setValidation(true);
saxReader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true);

With newer JVMs. Sun went and changed the whole XSD validation process and now requires you to use a SchemaFactory. Take a look at the code I put up in the closed/duplicate bug:

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3388

That works with schemas and reports *everything*.

> The getRootElement() method is probably supposed to validate the XML file. However, it only sets a DTD EntityResolver:
>             SAXReader saxReader = new SAXReader();
>             saxReader.setEntityResolver(new DTDEntityResolver());
>             saxReader.setMergeAdjacentText(true);
>             return saxReader.read(stream).getRootElement();
> This might trigger some magic flag that says "validate against this DTD", but the dom4j documentation says otherwise: http://www.dom4j.org/faq.html#how-validate
> I've implemented my own routine which validates against my schema properly:

>                     SAXReader saxReader = new SAXReader();
>                     if (isSchemaValidating()) {
>                         saxReader.setEntityResolver(new DTDEntityResolver());
>                         saxReader.setValidation(true);
