Re: How do I validate against a schema?

Hi Adrian,

I wrote a JScript batch file to do this back in April 2001 [1], to mysurprise it seems to use the final XML Schema namespace.


---
C:\Desktop\xml\Demo>type msxsd.js
// This file is:  msxsd.js
// first parameter is an XML files to be read in;
// second parameter is the namespace;
// third parameter is the schema file

// validate parameters
if(WScript.Arguments.length != 3)
{

WScript.Echo("msxsd takes three arguments - datafile, namespace,schema - eg:");

       WScript.Echo('msxsd books.xml "" books.xsd');
}
else
{
       var cache = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLSchemaCache.4.0");
       cache.add(WScript.Arguments(1), WScript.Arguments(2));

       var xmldoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
       xmldoc.async = false;
       xmldoc.schemas = cache;
       xmldoc.load(WScript.Arguments(0));

       if(xmldoc.parseError.errorCode != 0)

WScript.Echo("Houston, we have a problem: " +xmldoc.parseError.errorCode + " " + xmldoc.parseError.reason);

       else
               WScript.Echo("no problems!");
}

C:\xml\Demo>msxsd books.xml "" books.xsd

no problems!

I'm sure there are better around - your error reporting looks moresophisticated than mine was, for a start...
