Find out whether a Schema is Valid or Not

 

Some times in SOA you need to find out whether the schema you have designed/developed is valid and conforms to XML schema standards etc.

For this you can use the JDK 1.6 tool xjc.exe to check ,

%JDK_HOME%\bin\xjc.exe <your-schema-file> and check whether you are getting errors or not.
When I ran the xjc command with the original schmea , I got the errors
parsing a schema...
