| New Features? Validation International Encodings
| Answers |
| What are the new features? |
| Here are some of the new features in Xerces-J: Additional support for W3C XML Schema Language. DOS filenames no longer work. See Common Problems section of the FAQ.
| How do I turn on validation? |
| You can turn validation on and off via methods available on the SAX2 `XMLFilter` interface. While only the `SAXParser` implements the `XMLFilter` interface, the methods required for turning on validation are available to both parser classes, DOM and SAX. The code snippet below shows how to turn validation on -- assume that parser is an instance of either `org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser` or `org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser`. `parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);`
