Question

I have a method like this.

public void myMethod(String xml){
   ...

   File file=convertStringToFile(xml)  // I need to convert xml string to File
   object.fileDemandingMethod(file);

}

fileDemandingMethod(file) is expecting File but my input is string.

How can I get my xml string in the form of File object?

I need this for this JAXB Validation

Schema schema = schemaFactory.newSchema(new File("C:\\schema.xsd"));
unmarshaller.setSchema(schema );

Since you can also work with a StreamSource, you can construct a javax.xml.transform.Source from the String with:

new StreamSource(new StringReader(xml))
