Re: Processing a received XML document - support for XSD?

[Thomas Raddatz <thomas.raddatz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Charles,

In case no one else contributes a better idea you may consider to use a little Java application to 
validate your xml file. "AppServer4RPG" might be a good starting point as it demonstrates how to talk 
to Java from RPG efficiently.

You can get it here:

    http://www.bender-dv.de/ (German page hosted by Dieter Bender)

On the main page click on "AppServer4RPG" and download the zip file. The zip file contains an English 
"Howto.html" which explains how to set up the server.

For example you could pass the path name of your XML file to a little Java application that validtaed 
the XML file and returns the result back to the RPG application.

Another option you have is to install the "XML Toolkit for IBM System i5" (5733-XT2) and use the 
included parsers (SAX and DOM parser). For sure that should cost some money and is not easy to use 
because of lots of pointer stuff. Just my two cents.

Regards,

Thomas.
