XML Schema Validation

We have been doing XML schema validation on our define.xml files using Java and ran into an issue when moving to Java 1.7. Because we are now also using OpenCDISC to validate our define.xml files the question arose as to whether there is any value in our doing XML schema validation (as it appears that OpenCDISC is also identifying the same issues as our XML schema validation). By performing XML schema validation, are we supplementing or simply duplicating OpenCDISC functionality?

Thanks

XML-Schema Validation

As one of the developers of the define.xml specification and XML-Schema, I am of course curious about what the issue is.

Can you therefore send me information about which version of define.xml you are talking, the error message that you have in Java, which validation parser and version you are using in your Java code (Xerces, Saxon, ...?)? If possible, also please send the Java snippet that does the schema validation.

If you google around for 30 seconds, you will easily find my e-mail address.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mark, New version of

Hi Mark,

New version of Validator 2.1 (coming in 2 weeks) will perform both XML schema and additional content validation. So you will not have to do it separately.

Kind Regards,

Sergiy
