<h2><a name="schemavalidate">SchemaValidate</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>

<p>This task validates XML files described by an XML Schema.
The task extends the XmlValidate task with XSD-specific features.</p>
<ol>
<li>The parser is created validating and namespace aware
</li>
<li>Validation is turned on.</li>
<li>Schema validation is turned on.</li>
<li>Any no-namespace schema URL or file supplied is used as the no-namespace schema
<li>All nested schema declarations are turned into the list of namespace-url
bindings for schema lookup.
</ol>

Note that nested catalogs are still used for lookup of the URLs given as the
sources of schema documents, so you can still delegate lookup to a catalog, you
just need to list all schema URIs and their URL equivalents.

<p>This task supports the use of nested
  <li><a href="../CoreTypes/xmlcatalog.html"><tt>&lt;xmlcatalog&gt;</tt></a> elements</li>
  <li> <tt>&lt;schema&gt;</tt> elements, that bind a namespace URI to a URL or a
  local filename.
  <li><tt>&lt;dtd&gt;</tt> elements which are used to resolve DTDs and entities.</li>
  <li><tt>&lt;attribute&gt;</tt> elements which are used to set features on the parser.
      These can be any number of
      <a href="http://www.saxproject.org/apidoc/org/xml/sax/package-summary.html#package_description"><tt>http://xml.org/sax/features/</tt></a>
      or other features that your parser may support.</li>
  <li><tt>&lt;property&gt;</tt> elements, containing string properties
</p>

<p>
The task only supports SAX2 or later parsers: it is an error to specify a SAX1
parser.

<h3><a name="nested">Nested Elements</a></h3>

<p>
Identify the name and location of a schema that may be used in validating
the document(s).

    <td align="center" valign="top">One of url or file is required</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<h4>dtd</h4>
<p>
<tt>&lt;dtd&gt;</tt> is used to specify different locations for DTD resolution.
</p>

</table>
<h4>xmlcatalog</h4>
<p>The <a href="../CoreTypes/xmlcatalog.html"><tt>&lt;xmlcatalog&gt;</tt></a>
element is used to perform entity resolution.</p>
<h4>attribute</h4>
<p>The <tt>&lt;attribute&gt;</tt> element is used to set parser features.<br>
Features usable with the xerces parser are defined here :
 <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/features.html">Setting features</a><br>

SAX features are defined here:
 <a href="http://www.saxproject.org/apidoc/org/xml/sax/package-summary.html#package_description"><tt>http://xml.org/sax/features/</tt></a><br>

<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre>
    &lt;schemavalidate
      noNamespaceFile="document.xsd"
      file="xml/endpiece.xml"&gt;
    &lt;/schemavalidate&gt;
</pre>
Validate a document against an XML schema. The document does not declare
any schema itself, which is why the <tt>noNamespaceFile</tt> is needed. 
<pre>
    &lt;presetdef name="validate-soap"&gt;
      &lt;schemavalidate &gt;
        &lt;schema namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/addressing"
          file="${soap.dir}/ws-addressing.xsd" /&gt;
        &lt;schema namespace="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
          file="${soap.dir}/soap12.xsd" /&gt;
        &lt;schema namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
          file="${soap.dir}/wsdl.xsd" /&gt;
        &lt;schema namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
          file="${soap.dir}/XMLSchema.xsd" /&gt;
        &lt;/schemavalidate&gt;
    &lt;/presetdef&gt;
</pre>
Declare a new preset task, <tt>&lt;validate-soap&gt;</tt>, that validates
XSD and WSDL documents against the relevant specifications. 
To validate XSD documents, you also need XMLSchema.dtd and datatypes.dtd in 
the same directory as XMLSchema.xsd, or pointed to via the catalog. All
these files can be fetched from <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
the W3C</a>. 
<pre>
    &lt;validate-soap file="xml/test.xsd"/&gt;
</pre>
Use the preset task defined above to validate an XML Schema document.
