xml validation with KNIME

[Thyme]

Hi Ivan,

Judging from the name and it’s description, the XMLValidator is exactly what I’m looking for. Unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work. The list file node (or other nodes I’ve worked with so far) has output ports that are incompatible with the XMLValidator. In the OpenMS Extension I couldn’t find any equivalent nodes.

This forum question:

Error Handling while loop through xml files

I'm trying to gian some experience in Knime by creating a workflow to loop through xml files but log the instances where the xml file isn't valid or there was an error. I get the list of xml files from an excel sheet and convert the rows of the tabel into variables before using the fileLocation variable as the xml reader parameter Before I tried to include the error handling I would encounter the error  Execution failed in Try-Catch block: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber:…

already covers Try/Catch nodes as workaround to workflow interruptions, which is useful information, but not what I want. (a xml being non-broken doesn’t necessarily mean it’s valid, right?)

Cheers, Thyme
