XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Michael Kay" <mike AT saxonica.com>]

Since Saxon can accept a XOM document as a Source, one option is to do
schema validation like this:

            System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
 
"com.saxonica.SchemaAwareTransformerFactory");
            TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            factory.setAttribute(FeatureKeys.SCHEMA_VALIDATION, 
                                 new Integer(Validation.STRICT));
            factory.setAttribute(FeatureKeys.VALIDATION_WARNINGS, 
                                 Boolean.TRUE);
            
            Transformer trans = factory.newTransformer();
            Source source = new DocumentWrapper(jdomDocument);
            trans.transform(source, new Sink());

> This worked fine until I switched to Xerces, which bow trows an
> IOException. I had to modify my code to read:
> 
>     Document doc = parser.build("file:///c:/xomtest/books.xml");
> 
> Is this second way the correct way? I am a bit puzzled.
