I validate XML-Files with a simple Java program:
[...]
  XMLReader parser =  XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
  parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
  parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true);
  parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking", true);
  parser.setErrorHandler(this);
  parser.parse(new InputSource(input)); //java.io.Reader input: the document to validate
[...]

this = my class extending org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler, overwriting the methods fatalError(), error() and warning() to see the messages (i.e. printing out the stack trace).

Don't get a w3.org-timeout, but validation is slow.

Kind regards.
