I don't believe that they all do. To quote the apache RevalidatingXMLParser validate method: "Given a node which is a DOM tree (or subtree), validate the tree against the current DTD. If the tree is valid, return null. If the subtree is invalid return the highest (closest to the root) and left most node which causes the tree to be invalid." The notion of revalidating is exactly the use-case that I have. An XML message has been sent from a client, and I want to validate it against an internal schemata that I may or may not have disclosed to that client. SOAP message validation is a classic case of this where there is no doctype declaration allowed in the message, yet I wish validation. Even if a doctype was allowed, I wouldn't trust my validation to the schemata defined by the person sending the message! Cheers, Dave -----Original Message----- From: owner-xml-dev@x...

Ideally an XML Schema parser :-) I would expect all validating parsers to do this, at least by default. My parser (RXP) does, and so does our prototype schema validator. There are some cases where this might not happen; for example it is probably best not to report the same undeclared element every time it occurs. -- RIchard -- Spam filter: to mail me from a .com/.net site, put my surname in the headers.
