I am trying to validate xml with a schema on the fly.
I have been using the Sax parser.
I am reading the schema from a db so I have it as a string.
The code below works if the schema if specified as a URI.
Is there any way to specify the schema as an InputStream?
As I can't create tempory files on the server I need some other way.
Any help is appriciated

Thanks

Stephen

			

			public static boolean validateSax(String xml, String schema){
			

			

			

			try {
			

			

			XMLReader reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
			

			reader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",true);
			

			reader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true);
			

			reader.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",schema);
			

			

			reader.parse(new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes())));
			

			

			} catch (SAXException e) {
			

			return false
			

			} catch (IOException e) {
			

			return false
			

			}
			

			

			return true;
