So the question is, how do you guys validate the xmls in shibboleth, what is the class that does this in order to check the logic.</div><div><br></div><div>The code I'm using is this:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();</div><div> factory.setValidating(false);</div><div> factory.setNamespaceAware(true);</div><div><br></div><div> SchemaFactory schemaFactory = SchemaFactory.newInstance("<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</a>");</div><div> factory.setSchema(schemaFactory.newSchema(new Source[]{ <b> // <- After this line a SAXException is thrown saying: Cannot resolve the name '<some element>' to a(n) 'element declaration' component. </b></div><div> new StreamSource(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("schema/shibboleth-2.0-resource.xsd")),</div><div> new StreamSource(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("schema/shibboleth-2.0-services.xsd")),</div><div> new StreamSource(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("schema/saml-schema-metadata-2.0.xsd")),</div><div> new StreamSource(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("schema/shibboleth-2.0-relying-party.xsd")),</div><div> new StreamSource(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("schema/shibboleth-2.0-relying-party-saml.xsd")),</div><div> new StreamSource(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("schema/shibboleth-2.0-metadata.xsd")),</div><div> new StreamSource(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("schema/shibboleth-2.0-security.xsd")),</div><div> new StreamSource(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("schema/shibboleth-2.0-security-policy-saml.xsd")),</div><div> }));</div><div><br></div><div> SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();</div><div> XMLReader reader = parser.getXMLReader();</div><div><br></div><div> Builder builder = new Builder(reader);</div><div> builder.build(new File("relying-party.xml")); </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for all the help.</div></body></html>
