xpathvalidator

Xpathvalidator is java-based configurable XML validator libary.

To use:

• Include the xpathvalidator.jar on your classpath

• Create your custom validator class by implementing one of the included interfaces:

  • org.sitenv.xml.xpathvalidator.engine.MultipleXPathNodeValidator
    • Use this validator interface to return multiple validation results from a single validator
  • org.sitenv.xml.xpathvalidator.engine.XPathNodeValidator
    • Use this validator interface to return a single validation result from a single validator

• Create a configuration xml file to specify the use of the validator. The configuration file should be int the following syntax:

    <configuration>
    	<expression xpathExpression="ClinicalDocument/documentationOf/serviceEvent/code">
    		<validator className="org.sitenv.xml.validators.ccda.CcdaCodeValidator" />
    	</expression>
    </configuration>
  

• Initialize the Validation Engine and pass it a file to validate.

    private static XPathValidationEngine engine = null;
  
    .
    .
    .
  
    engine = new XPathValidationEngine();
    File file = new File("path/to/fileToBeValidate");
  
    engine.initialize(props.getProperty("path/to/configFile.xml"));
  
    List<XPathValidatorResult> results = engine.validate(file.getInputStream());
