Class XMLValidator

  • public class XMLValidator
extends java.lang.Object

    Class used to validate XML. This is used to check if the XML created during a marshal operation would be valid XML before the marshal operation is performed.

    Create an XMLValidator from an XMLContext.
    Code Sample
    XMLContext context = new XMLContext("mySessionName");
    XMLValidator validator = context.createValidator();

    The validateRoot method is used to validate objects which are mapped to global elements in a schema and which have a default root element specified in the TopLink project. The validate method is used to validate all other mapped objects.
