Question

i want to validate some files looking like this:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
  http://www.springframework.org/schema/task http://www.springframework.org/schema/task/spring-task-3.0.xsd />

...
<bean>...</bean>
...
</beans>

Some of them have more xmlns and locations and some less. Someone knows if there is any api where u just give in such files and it will validate it in java?

greetings

There you go.

You can wrap it and make parser that will first extract schemas, then use them for validation.
