XSD Tutorials - Herong's Tutorial Examples - Version 5.10, by Dr. Herong Yang

Running XMLReaderValidator with Xerces2 2.11.0 Beta

This section describes a tutorial example on how to the Xerces2 XMLReader class to validate an XML document assigned with an XSD file with 'Xerces2 2.11.0 (XML Schema 1.1) (Beta)' version.

Now I am ready to test the "Xerces2 2.11.0 (XML Schema 1.1) (Beta)" version, with the same program, XMLReaderValidator:

c:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin\java
   -cp ".;c:\local\xerces-2_11_0-xml-schema-1.1-beta\xercesImpl.jar"
   XMLReaderValidator dictionary_invalid_xsd.xml

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

I am surprised to see this ClassNotFoundException error. But it is not hard to fix it. The missing class is actually provided in org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor_1.1.0.jar in the "Xerces2 2.11.0 (XML Schema 1.1) (Beta)" package.

Rerunning XMLReaderValidator with org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor_1.1.0.jar included in the classpath, I get the correct validation result:

c:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin\java 
   -cp ".;c:\local\xerces-2_11_0-xml-schema-1.1-beta\xercesImpl.jar;
   c:\local\xerces-2_11_0-xml-schema-1.1-beta
   \org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor_1.1.0.jar"
   XMLReaderValidator dictionary_invalid_xsd.xml

Error:
   Public ID: null
   System ID: file:///C:/herong/dictionary_invalid_xsd.xml
   Line number: 7
   Column number: 22
   Message: cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: 'yes' is not a valid value for 
   'boolean'.
