Validate Xml Against XSD from ClassPath

I have described how to validate xml against schema in another post. Now if you have schema files in your classpath , and if one schema is dependent on other , then you have to do following things to validate it. Create a custom ResourceResolver like this .The prefix is for those schema files which are not in root of classpath . suppose your schema files contained in a folder named schemas in classpath , then provide prefix as /schema.

package com.acs.plum.web.service.util.xml.validator;
import java.io.InputStream;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver;
public class ResourceResolver  implements LSResourceResolver {
private String prefix ; 
public LSInput resolveResource(String type, String namespaceURI,
        String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {
 systemId = prefix +"/" + systemId; 
    InputStream resourceAsStream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(systemId);
    return new CustomLSInput(publicId, systemId, resourceAsStream);
}
/**
 * @return the prefix
 */
public String getPrefix() {
 return prefix;
}
/**
 * @param prefix the prefix to set
 */
public void setPrefix(String prefix) {
 this.prefix = prefix;
}
}

Create CustomLSInput class .

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.Reader;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput;
public class MyCustomLSInput implements LSInput {
private String publicId;
private String systemId;
public String getPublicId() {
    return publicId;
}
public void setPublicId(String publicId) {
    this.publicId = publicId;
}
public String getBaseURI() {
    return null;
}
public InputStream getByteStream() {
    return null;
}
public boolean getCertifiedText() {
    return false;
}
public Reader getCharacterStream() {
    return null;
}
public String getEncoding() {
    return null;
}
public String getStringData() {
    synchronized (inputStream) {
        try {
            byte[] input = new byte[inputStream.available()];
            inputStream.read(input);
            String contents = new String(input);
            return contents;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null ;
    }
}
public void setBaseURI(String baseURI) {
}
public void setByteStream(InputStream byteStream) {
}
public void setCertifiedText(boolean certifiedText) {
}
public void setCharacterStream(Reader characterStream) {
}
public void setEncoding(String encoding) {
}
public void setStringData(String stringData) {
}
public String getSystemId() {
    return systemId;
}
public void setSystemId(String systemId) {
    this.systemId = systemId;
}
public BufferedInputStream getInputStream() {
    return inputStream;
}
public void setInputStream(BufferedInputStream inputStream) {
    this.inputStream = inputStream;
}
private BufferedInputStream inputStream;
public MyCustomLSInput(String publicId, String sysId, InputStream input) {
    this.publicId = publicId;
    this.systemId = sysId;
    this.inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(input);
    
}
}

Now in your main class set resource resolver with proper prefix.

import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.validation.Schema;
import javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory;
import javax.xml.validation.Validator;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
public class XmlValidator
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
  try {
      String schemaLang = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
      SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(schemaLang);
      
      
       ResourceResolver resolver = new ResourceResolver();
       resolver.setPrefix("/javaroots");//set prefix if your schema is not in the root of classpath
      factory.setResourceResolver(new ResourceResolver());
      
      Schema schema = factory.newSchema(new StreamSource(XmlValidator.class.getResourceAsStream("/MarketLive.xsd")));
      Validator validator = schema.newValidator();
      validator.validate(new StreamSource("D:\\sportschalet\\SchemaNSamples-5.9.8\\test\\sample_300189_3038341.xml"));
      
      System.out.println("Successfully validated");
  } catch (SAXException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (Exception ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
  }
  
  
 }
}
Thats it !! now you do not need to copy schemas in a separate folder . You can have them in your classpath .
