[QUOTE="J. VerSchave, post: 559972"]
I am trying to validate some XML.  The XML is not in a file.  It is
stored in a string. i.e.

String my_xml = "<XML>This is xml</XML>";

I would like to independently verify that my_xml is well formed AND it
is also valid against a specified DTD.  This seems easy to do if the
XML were stored in a file or as a URI.  However, I currently have the
XML in a string.  I could probably write my string to a temp file and
read the file but seems like there should be a cleaner solution.  I
was trying to do something like this:

DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler();
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);

try {

// Parse the input
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
saxParser.parse( my_xml, handler );
MyLogger.info("TextBodyHelper.validateTextBodyXML() - Text is
Valid");
...
...

Obviously this does not work because saxParser.parse() assumes that
my_xml is a file name and not the XML itself.  Does anyone have any
suggestions?  Examples?  URLs?  Thanks.
