Schema validation

[motoman]

I have a problem with the code sample below, basically when i run it i get the error classnotfoundexception org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser now i know the simple answer is declare xerces.jar in your classpath but i have done that. I have even gotten xerces 2.5...... and still nothing, i am really struggling here.

see the code below.

import java.io.IOException;
import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser;

import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;
class XMLReaderValidator {
public static void main(String args) {

String parserClass = "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"; String validationFeature = "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation"; String schemaFeature = "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema"; try { String x = "<xml></xml>"; //args[0]; XMLReader r = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(parserClass); r.setFeature(validationFeature,true); r.setFeature(schemaFeature,true); r.setErrorHandler(new MyErrorHandler); r.parse(x); } catch (SAXException e) { System.out.println(e.toString); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e.toString); } } private static class MyErrorHandler extends DefaultHandler { public void warning(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException { System.out.println("Warning: "); printInfo(e); } public void error(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException { System.out.println("Error: "); printInfo(e); } public void fatalError(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException { System.out.println("Fattal error: "); printInfo(e); } private void printInfo(SAXParseException e) { System.out.println(" Public ID: "+e.getPublicId); System.out.println(" System ID: "+e.getSystemId); System.out.println(" Line number: "+e.getLineNumber); System.out.println(" Column number: "+e.getColumnNumber); System.out.println(" Message: "+e.getMessage); } } }
