Example

The following example shows the usage of Javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.getSchema() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
import javax.xml.validation.Schema;
import javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory;
import static javax.xml.XMLConstants.*;

public class SAXParserFactoryDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a new SAXParserFactory
      SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();

      // create a new schema factory
      SchemaFactory schemaFactory =
         SchemaFactory.newInstance(W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);

      // a file that points to our schema
      File file = new File("Student.xsd");

      try {
         // create a new schema
         Schema schema = schemaFactory.newSchema(file);

         // set our schema for our parser
         factory.setSchema(schema);

         // get the schema set
         System.out.println("" + factory.getSchema());

      } catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
      }

   }
}
