Java XML validator - a contribution

[matija]

Hello,

Here is a small contribution towards XML validation in Java:
while there exists a XMLElement.java class with a parser in JavaOpenAIR distribution, I've found that messages
about XML errors are generally nicer (unfortunately this is not always true...)  when using the Sax Java parser (included in standard Java distributions).

So I' ve added my  SaxXmlValidator class to the com.cmlabs.thirdparty package.

Example of use:
   String xml = "<module name='JavaTest_Stream_reader' type='external' >"
      + "                 <triggers from='MyWB' >"
      + "                   <trigger type='TestStreams.DataSampleOutput' />"
      + "               <triggers>"
      + "      </module>";

   if (!SaxXmlValidator.checkXmlValidity(xml))
      System.out.print("checkXmlValidity FAILED on xml module registration string!");
   
the output:
   checkXmlValidity: SAXException: The element type "triggers" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</triggers>".
   checkXmlValidity FAILED on xml module registration string!
   
The attached zip contains SaxXmlValidator .java and .class files.

yours,
Matija

Hi Majita,

This is a really nice addition - thank you so much for this. I am sure that many OpenAIR users will be very happy to have this functionality.

This will be added to the next release of Java OpenAIR.

Best,
Thor
