Validate an XML File Against Multiple Schema Definitions

Question

I\'m trying to validate an XML file against a number of different schemas (apologies for the contrived example):

• a.xsd
• b.xsd
• c.xsd

Answer 1

Just in case, anybody still come here to find the solution for validating xml or object against multiple XSDs, I am mentioning it here

//Using **URL** is the most important here. With URL, the relative paths are resolved for include, import inside the xsd file. Just get the parent level xsd here (not all included xsds).

URL xsdUrl = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("my/parent/schema.xsd");

SchemaFactory schemaFactory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
Schema schema = schemaFactory.newSchema(xsdUrl);

JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(MyClass.class);
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
unmarshaller.setSchema(schema);

/* If you need to validate object against xsd, uncomment this
ObjectFactory objectFactory = new ObjectFactory();
JAXBElement wrappedObject = objectFactory.createMyClassObject(myClassObject); 
marshaller.marshal(wrappedShipmentMessage, new DefaultHandler());
*/

unmarshaller.unmarshal(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("your/xml/file.xml"));
