Validation of XML document % DTD

But it would be the parser that validates the XML against its DTD. JDOM is not a parser, it uses some other product (which you can specify, I believe) to do the parsing. So the answer would be yes, since parsers do exist that can validate against a DTD.

The online document which describes that is the JDOM FAQ:

http://www.jdom.org/docs/faq.html#a0370

While you are waiting for them to implement that feature, the thing to do is to output the DOM to an XML document, and include the reference to the DTD you want to validate against. Then feed that document into a parser in validating mode.
