partial XML validation against xsd

[presto]

Hi!

The scene:

I've a webservice defined in a wsdl. For each port, there is an xsd file defining its type. Ok, now I want to validate this xml against this xsd.

The problem:

My xsd's has no root element. They just define a type of node. for instance:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="..." xmlns:bons0="..." targetNamespace="...">
	<xsd:complexType name="MyServiceRequest">
		<xsd:sequence>
			<xsd:element minOccurs="1" name="MyElement" type="xsd:string">
			</xsd:element>
		</xsd:sequence>
	</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

but my xml has a root element that is a "MyServiceRequest" node:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<MyService>
    <MyElement>my element value</MyElement>
</MyService>

How can I validate just the "internal" part of the root node against my xsd? or my full xml against the wsdl, if there is a way...

Regards!

It may help if you use some PHP code to validate your XML and xsd. Read the article below and see if you can apply the techniques to your work.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Menre!
I'll take a look at this!

I forgot to say, but I'm using jsp and servlets (java 5 xml packages -> javax.xml.*.*).
