[Xmlunit-general] xmlunit and setSystemId

[James S. <Jam...@ar...>]

Greetings,

Chances are I am missing something critical here, but here goes anyway.

I am trying to validate some xml as follows:

InputSource is = new InputSource(new StringReader(response));
            Validator v;

            try   {
                  v = new org.custommonkey.xmlunit.Validator(is);
                  v.useXMLSchema(true);
                  if (!v.isValid()) {
                        throw new ValidationError(v.toString());
                  }

An example of a test XML doc (let's say this is from www.test.org/sample.xml) I have been using is as follows:


<person xmlns="http://www.cafeconleche.org/namespaces/person" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.test.org/namespaces/person
 person.xsd"><http://www.elharo.com/person.xs%22%3e>
<name>
<first_name>Alan</first_name>
<last_name>Turing</last_name>
</name>
<profession>computer scientist</profession>
<profession>mathematician</profession>
<profession>cryptographer</profession>
</person>

In this example xmlunit will try to grab person.xsd from my local machine's working directory. I want it to grab it from www.test.org/person.xsd<http://www.test.org/person.xsd> (I would like to avoid putting an absolute path in though).

I realize that because I am using an InputSource I have lost any location information from my XML, so I have tried using

is.setSystemId(http://www.test.org);

to set the relative path. This doesn't seem to have worked.

I am guessing I am misunderstanding something here, any ideas?

Cheers,
James Sewell
