I\'m writing a library which takes xml files and parses them. To prevent users from feeding inalid xmls into my application i\'m using xerces to validate the xml files via an xsd.

However, i only manages to validate against xsd-files. Theoretically an user could just open this file and mess around with it. That\'s why i would like my xsd to be hardcoded in my library.

Unfortunately i haven\'t found a way to do this with XercesC++, yet.

That\'s how it is working right now...

bool XmlParser::validateXml(std::string a_XsdFilename) xercesc::XercesDOMParser domParser; if (domParser.loadGrammar(a_XsdFilename.c_str(), xercesc::Grammar::SchemaGrammarType) == NULL) throw Exceptions::Parser::XmlSchemaNotReadableException(); XercesParserErrorHandler parserErrorHandler; domParser.setErrorHandler( parserErrorHandler); domParser.setValidationScheme(xercesc::XercesDOMParser::Val_Always); domParser.setDoNamespaces(true); domParser.setDoSchema(true); domParser.setValidationSchemaFullChecking(true); domParser.parse(m_Filename.c_str()); return (domParser.getErrorCount() == 0);

std::string m_Filename is a member variable holding the path of the xml i validate.

std::string a_XsdFilename is the path to the xsd i validate against.

XercesParserErrorHandler inherits from xercesc::ErrorHandler and does error handling.

How can i replace std::string a_XsdFilename with something like std::string a_XsdText?Where std::string a_XsdText contains the schema definition itself instead of a path to a file containing the schema definition.

I\'ll describe three ways of how to hardcode your XSD in your program:
