Validate XML using DTD

Saxon 8b doesn't explicitely do DTD validation (Saxon is an XSLT processor)
you can use Xerxes for that
xerxes.apache.org

I had an error in my reference
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/

I have downloaded Xerces jars. How can I use it to validate an XML with a DTD

The best way to validate a document is to ue one of the sample programms
I usually use DOMCount or SAXCount
here is how to do that
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/domcount.html

please note that you have to put a link to the DTD inside your XML document in order for calling the DTD

<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "yourdtd.dtd">
should be the first line
where root is the name of the root element and
between "" after SYSTEM should be the relativ epath + filename of your DTD

cheers

I can't find the DOMCount class.
I have downloaded xerces-2_5_0 and in the samples directory there is no dom\DOMCount class
