Running Validation from Ant
It is possible to use the Saxon schema validator using the standard Ant tasks
xmlvalidate
and schemavalidate
. To use Saxon rather than
Xerces as the validation engine, specify the attribute
classname="com.saxonica.ee.jaxp.ValidatingReader"
, and make sure Saxon-EE
is on the classpath.
The schema to be used for validation can be specified using the
xsi:schemaLocation
and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation
attributes in the instance document, or (in the case of the schemavalidate
task) using the schemavalidate/schema
child element or the
schemavalidate/@noNamespaceFile
or
schemavalidate/@noNamespaceURL
attributes.
The attributes lenient
and fullchecking
have no effect.
The child element schemavalidate/attribute
can be used to set options. Any
option defined by the constants in class net.sf.saxon.lib.FeatureKeys can be specified,
provided the required value is expressible as a string (for boolean values, use "true" and
"false"). Saxon also recognizes some property names defined by the Apache Xerces product,
for compatibility.
