Re: AW: http_url_post_xml problem

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess it depends on what is meant by "validate".  If you just want to 
know if it's well-formed, you can run it through HTTPAPI's XML parser 
(expat) with both handlers set to *NULL -- if you get an error, it's 
probably not well-formed.

If you want to validate against a schema, then it's quite a bit more 
complicated.  In that case, you'll want to use IBM's XML toolkit or call 
one of the Java parsers that does schema validation.

But, in my experience, problems with the schema are usually found and 
solved during the initial testing of your program.  Well-formedness 
errors can come from the data supplied by users, and are more likely to 
crop up after testing.
