RE: [xsl] mass validation of xml files

I'd use ant if you have it set up and the basic method is below

<target name="validateXML">
<xmlvalidate lenient="no" warn="yes"
classname="org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" failonerror="no">
<fileset dir="path to file" />
</xmlvalidate>
</target>

Hi,
i got a quick question that is a little bit off topic:
Does anyone know a way or a (free) tool to validate a bunch of xml
files (>30.000) against a DTD or a schema at once?

Georg

What do you mean at once? You want to validate 30,000 xml files in 
parallel, why? For what reason would you want to do this?

However if you really just want to validate a bunch of xml files then 
you could use something like this (under unix):

for XML in *.xml
do
    xmllint --dtdvalid this.dtd --noout $XML
done

Of course you will need to check the output but the bones of it is 
there. It also allows you to validate against schema and relaxng.
