Schema detected from xml file

[afrin216]

Currently we need to specify the schema for xml validation in one way or another. Is it possible to auto-detect the schema from any schema information given in the xml file itself?

I have created a new open source project ixvc (https://github.com/rosslamont/jxvc) which provides a JAXP compliant validator which can auto detect schema information from an xml file. It supports the usual suspects, (DTD and XSI) but particularly adds support for ISO/IEC 19757-11:2011 xml-model processing instructions, which in turn can load Relax NG and in theory Schematron and NVDL. I'd be happy to integrate it to xml-maven-plugin.

Regarding the original comment, you don't have to specify the schema via the pom. For normal did and xsd validation (e.g. using psi:schemaLocation in your xml file) it works fine as is.

I assume, this is fixed after pulling in #21?

[rosslamont]

@jochenw - by and large. My library doesn't yet have a DTD validator, and won't for a while, but as far as this plugin goes, there's nothing else to do.

Thanks, Ross. That's sufficient, to me, to close this issue and to wait, what will happen.

Cheers!
