Re: Validate XML by XSD failes with jDOM and Xerces 2.10.0

Does JDOM has a native Xerces-J XSD integration? If its kind of that,
then the XSD processor active within your JDOM runtime may have a
validator bug. If that is so, you may need to report this problem to
JDOM forum.

As far as I know, Xerces-J doesn't provide explicit JDOM integration.
Another approach you can try is if you're constrained to use a JDOM
representation of your input XML for XSD validation is to following
steps like below,
1) Serialize the JDOM tree into an XML document (like a file, string etc).
2) Then use result of step 1) and your XSD document, to do schema
validation with Xerces-J. This would also allow you to integrate an
externally available (which may have a better XSD compliance, that the
validator currently active in your JDOM implementation) Xerces-J
library, with your JDOM input.

Having written all of this, I really haven't verified the internals of
JDOM. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
