How to get error's line number while validating a XML file against a XML schema
I found this
http://www.herongyang.com/XML-Schema/Xerces2-XSD-Validation-with-XMLReader.html
that appears to provide the following details(to include line numbers)
Error:
Public ID: null
System ID: file:///D:/herong/dictionary_invalid_xsd.xml
Line number: 7
Column number: 22
Message: cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: 'yes' is not a valid 'boolean'
value.
using this code:
/**
* XMLReaderValidator.java
* Copyright (c) 2002 by Dr. Herong Yang. All rights reserved.
*/
import java.io.IOException;
import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;
class XMLReaderValidator {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String parserClass = "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser";
String validationFeature
= "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation";
String schemaFeature
= "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema";
try {
String x = args[0];
XMLReader r = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(parserClass);
r.setFeature(validationFeature,true);
r.setFeature(schemaFeature,true);
r.setErrorHandler(new MyErrorHandler());
r.parse(x);
} catch (SAXException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
}
private static class MyErrorHandler extends DefaultHandler {
public void warning(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException {
System.out.println("Warning: ");
printInfo(e);
}
public void error(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException {
System.out.println("Error: ");
printInfo(e);
}
public void fatalError(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException {
System.out.println("Fattal error: ");
printInfo(e);
}
private void printInfo(SAXParseException e) {
System.out.println(" Public ID: "+e.getPublicId());
System.out.println(" System ID: "+e.getSystemId());
System.out.println(" Line number: "+e.getLineNumber());
System.out.println(" Column number: "+e.getColumnNumber());
System.out.println(" Message: "+e.getMessage());
}
}
}
Replace this line:
validator.validate(new DOMSource(document));
by
validator.validate(new StreamSource(new File("myxml.xml")));
will let the SAXParseException contain line number & column number
