[XOM-interest] Validating after parsing?

[org.ibiblio.lists.xom-interest]

Hello.

Currently, I'm doing the following:

xv = BuilderPool.GLOBAL_POOL.getMSVBuilder(new File(schema_path).toURI());

... where schema_path points to the RELAX-NG file I'm validating XML against.

And then:

doc = xv.build (data);

... where data is an input stream containing XML data.

The problem: I'd like to read and parse an XML tree BEFORE validating. There
doesn't really seem to be a way to do this beyond re-serializing the tree to
a stream and then calling the above (which seems a pretty roundabout way of
doing things).

Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm wondering why the Serializer setLineSeparator method doesn't accept
an empty String.

Is is mandatory in XML to have line end returns ?

I found this rather rigid as I'm using XOM to generate content for
mobile phone, I'd like to strip end of line characters to save bytes.

No but there is a difference between white space and no white space,
and sometimes between a space and a line separator. If you don't want
line breaks in your XML, then you need to not add them in the model
and don't use pretty printing from the serializer.
