[opennms-devel] Validation of xml files

Hi!

It would be a huge improvement if xml files where validated against the XSD
during startup.
I commented out the <hideMessage> section in syslogd-configuration.xml since
I didn't use it.

Appearently, the <hideMessage> is not nillable (see
http://www.opennms.org/documentation/java-xsddocs-stable/syslogd-configuration.html).
But instead of a nice message informing me about that during startup I had
to realize that no syslogd events came in to OpenNMS due to the following
NPE as seen in output.log:

Exception in thread "Thread-894" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at
org.opennms.netmgt.syslogd.ConvertToEvent.make(ConvertToEvent.java:410)
        at
org.opennms.netmgt.syslogd.SyslogConnection.run(SyslogConnection.java:93)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

Is there an enhancement request for validation? If not, I'm filing one.

Regards,
Jimisola
