Wendell,
Thanks for the suggestion. We have the Siebel system that can generate the
DTDs(offline), which I have to use to validate against the transactions
dynamically. First I will try with DTDs and see if there is any reason to use
schema....
Thanks
Kotes

Sure, but others will disagree, and it's not on topic for this list in any
case.
The real answer is "it depends", although if you get me in a punchy mood I
might say "Relax NG". (Too bad Xalan doesn't support it.)
Assuming you only need to please yourself (your validation is entirely
local), I'd start with a DTD and move to a Schema if and when you discover
you need Schema features that DTDs don't offer. There are plenty of tools
that will generate a Schema from a DTD.
Also is there any document availble showing the methods to do validation
using XALAN..
Don't know, and that's way off topic.
I sometimes point Java programmers (and others) to ER Harold's Cafe Con
Leche, and to his print books on XML in general. http://www.cafeconleche.org.
Good luck,
Wendell
