I kept on trying with the DTD validation, but I'm quite a XML newbie. One
drawback of DTD validation is that Java XML API are really strict. If a
document is not well formed, the validation can't be done as the parser
stops. That's why I was looking for specific HTML library. The best would=
 be
to have results like those from the W3C validator (tag not closed, DTD
violation but also hints), but I think I should stop dreaming.

So far, I didn't try with local copies of DTD, as the XML parser is able =
to
get the DTD from the internet. But it's a good idea to have local copies =
as
I noticed long delay for validation, think it was coming from the DTD
retrieval.

I'll keep on working on this if my job allows me to, perhaps my first
contribution to JMeter  :-)

Cheers,

Arno

Objet : Re: validating HTML with JMeter


Why not just enhance XML Assertion to add DTD validation as well?
Or maybe XPathAssertion.=20
There does not yet seem to be an XML Schema for XHTML, otherwise that
could presumably be used as it is.
Seems unnecessary to have yet another Assertion.

In any case, presumably one would need local copies of the relevant
DTD to allow this to work when offline.

Or have I misunderstood this completely?

create XHTML Assertion. you need to point to the following xhtml1-strict.=
dtd
then xhtml will work as standard way. I have never done it but I am sure =
it
will work.
