Java Technology & XML - Validate an existing DOM object .

This may help you:

DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
//create DOM parser
DocumentBuilder parser = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
//Build DOM tree by parsing xml document
Document document = parser.parse(getClass().getResourceAsStream("test.xml"));
// create a SchemaFactory capable of understanding XML schemas
SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
// load an XML schema
Source schemaFile = new StreamSource(getClass().getResourceAsStream("test.xsd"));
Schema schema = factory.newSchema(schemaFile);
// create a Validator instance and validate document
Validator validator = schema.newValidator();
validator.validate(new DOMSource(document));
