I did some reading on this. I was inclined to use
Java-XML binding frameworks to leverage my XSD. But
JAXB 1.0 doesn't support key/keyref (meaning doesn't
support validation?? not sure).
Also not sure if JAXB 2.0 supports it.

OR should I use JAXP instead?

In other words, if you've an XSD with key/keyref
constraints, what is the best XML parsing (JAXP vs
JAXB) method to use in Java?

Parsing performance is not an issue for my
application.


cheers!
