XML schema

Former Member — Mon, 16 May 2005 10:51:29 GMT

Hi all,

I use XML Library for create the XML file. I have the XML schema for this document. Could you tell me how can I declare this XML schema?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Igor.

Hi Igor,

sorry but I didn't get it. Do you want to validate against your schema? Or do you want a sample document for that schema (I think you mean W3C XML schema)?

Can you describe further details of your problem? And what kind of BASIS release you are using? iXML 4.6C differs slightly from 6.10 and above.

Regards

Tobias

Hi,

I thought you could only validate against DTDs and XML Schema is not supported (yet)?

Yes, that's right. And if you are using 4.6C Kernel even validating against a DTD won't work.

Hi,

So I was right. If you're able to "convert" your XML Schema to an equivalent DTD using it isn't that hard.

When you've initialized your XML parser (IF_IXML_PARSER) you just have to turn on validation by calling set_validating( mode = if_ixml_parser=>co_validate ). When you parse the XML document with the parse( ) method you will receive a result <> 0 in case of errors. You can further process these errors using the num_errors( ... ) and/or get_error( ... ) methods.

Hope this helps (please reward me if it does),

Joerg
