Using the XML Validator Tool

Use the XML validator tool, XMLValidator to check the correctness of your XML files. The XML validator tool generates a Forms XML Schema "on the fly" and uses it to check the correctness of any specified XML file. The tool can be called from the command line to validate .xml files or called from a Java program to validate oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument Java objects. You can also use the convenience scripts that are provided with the Forms installation.

To validate XML files from the command line:

The XML validator tool can be called from the command line with one or more files as arguments. The syntax for the command is:

frmxmlv [options] file1 [file2]
java oracle.forms.util.xmltools.XMLValidator file1.xml [file2.xml...]

To validate XML files from a Java program:

For example, in your program you could define an object of type XMLValidator and use it in a try/catch block to validate an XML file represented by doc.


   ...
   XMLValidator validator = new XMLValidator();
   try
   {
     validator.validateXML(doc);
   }
   catch(Exception e)
   {
     // validate failed.
   }
   ... 

You could (and probably should) catch the specific exceptions thrown and deal with them accordingly.
