    • getValidatedXml

      public static Document getValidatedXml(URL xmlFile, URL dtdFile) throws IOException
      Load and validate an XML file against a DTD, and return it as a Document object. The path to the files should be given as a URL, not a filesystem path. For a file on the classpath it is easiest done by the Class.getResource(String) method, ie. XMLUtil.class.getResource("/net/sf/basedb/core/the-xml-file.xml").
      Parameters:
      xmlFile - The URL to the XML file
      dtdFile - The URL to the DTD used for validation, the DTD must be encoded in ISO-8859-1
      Returns:
      A Document object
