XMLSchema validation for StAX parser

Question

In DOM or SAX parsers in Java it is possible to define the XML Schema to use by calling methods DocumentBuilderFactory.setSchema(..) or SAXParserFactory.setSchema(...).

How can I do the similar thing (enable XML Schema validation) when using StAX parser? Actually I am creating the parser as follows:

XMLInputFactory factory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
factory.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_NAMESPACE_AWARE, true);
XMLStreamReader reader = factory.createXMLStreamReader(docIs);
parseDoc(reader); // own method which reads data from XML

and I would like to know when the XML document does not match schema or is invalid XML document.

XMLBeans has a tool for this. Check out StreamInstanceValidator which makes use of ValidatingXMLStreamReader .

Could you please add an essential piece of code that shows how to implement this? – Trinimon Mar 26 '13 at 18:38
