 The configuration of a document. It maintains a table of recognized 
parameters. Using the configuration, it is possible to change the 
behavior of the load methods. The configuration may support the 
setting of and the retrieval of the following non-boolean parameters 
defined on the DOMConfiguration interface: 
error-handler (DOMErrorHandler) and 
resource-resolver (LSResourceResolver). 

 The following list of boolean parameters is defined: 


"validate"


true
[required] (default) Validate an XML 
Schema during loading. If validation errors are found, the error 
handler is notified. 
false
[optional] Do not 
report errors during the loading of an XML Schema document.
