Validate an XML file with NVDL and Apache Ant

[xephon]

Hi,
I'd like to validate an XML file with NVDL via Apache Ant, like I can do it with https://relaxng.org/jclark/jing-ant.html and Relax NG. But I could not find a solution. Do you have an idea how to do that?

Thanks a lot

I assume that no answer can be interpreted as "there is no solution".

Hi Stefan,
Sorry, I did not see your initial post.
It seems we are using Jing in Oxygen to validate with the NVDL schema.
So why not use the same with NVDL as you do with RNG?

Hi Radu, I don't know how to do it in Apache Ant. The <jing> task seems to only work with a Relax NG file: https://relaxng.org/jclark/jing-ant.html

Code: Select all

<project name="example" default="validate" basedir=".">
  <taskdef name="jing" classname="com.thaiopensource.relaxng.util.JingTask"/>
  <target name="validate">
    <jing rngfile="xslt.rng">
      <fileset dir="xsl" includes="**/*.xsl"/>
    </jing>
  </target>
</project>

Hi Stefan,
From looking at the Java code of "com.thaiopensource.relaxng.util.JingTask" I think you should take your chances and point the "rngfile" attribute to the NVDL schema because it might just work.
