Validation with DynamicJAXBContext

How could I turn on validation during unmarshalling? [moxy 2.6.0]

First intresting thing is that I need to put schema which should be already in DynamicContext. But even with setting schema to unmarshaller again it gives me an error.

I've tried to use this one:

 final JAXBUnmarshaller unmarshaller = dynamicJAXBContext.createUnmarshaller();
        //unmarshaller.setSchema();
        final Schema schema = schemas.get(type);
        unmarshaller.setSchema(schema);
        unmarshaller.setValidating(true);

And it gives an exception. Looks like part which broke this are some elements which are put there from DynamicContext

Solution

  • The problem here is that the schema was not found. You set null instead of Schema instance.

    Btw. method 

    javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller#setValidating

    is deprecated since JAXB 2.0. Using method 

    javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller#setSchema

    will do the job.
