Configuration	Properties file or variable.
Class name	com.ebd.hub.datawizard.parser.XSDPreparser

Description

This preparser can validate an XML file with an XSD file.

The result is an XML file with a list (can be empty) of the errors found. See example below.

The preparser expects the path to a properties file that contains the path to the XSD file. Alternatively, the path to the XSD file can also be transferred from a predecessor profile in the variable "XSD_PATH".

Note: The variable must be named exactly like this in the predecessor profile, but must not be created in the successor profile.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
xsdPath	Path to XSD file.

Path to properties file: ./conf/myxsd.properties

./conf/myxsd.properties

xsdPath=./conf/my.xsd
