Re: [xsl] How to read Schema XSD in stylesheet XSL!

[Abel Braaksma <abel.online@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wiky,

Maybe I missed something in this discussion, but the core of your 
question seems to be about point 2: "yes" when XML input is valid 
against a schema an "no" when XML is not valid.

In all honesty, all you need is an XML processor that supports Schema 
processing. You do not need any XSLT. But if you are determined to use 
XSLT, just use XSLT 2.0 with validation (available with Saxon-SA and 
AltovaXML, the latter free). If the content is valid, output "yes", if 
not,. output "no". For all that I know, you can write any stylesheet (as 
long as validation is on) and let it output something. If the output is 
nothing or an error or a different exit code, you let your calling 
process (i.e., a batch file or a workflow system) output "no". Or, like 
Wendell suggested, use the extension functions of Saxon.

HTH,
Cheers,
