Remarks

Property getter documentation:

Indicates whether or not the factory is configured to produce parsers which validate the XML content during parse.

Java documentation for javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.isValidating().

Property setter documentation:

Specifies that the parser produced by this code will validate documents as they are parsed. By default the value of this is set to false.

Note that "the validation" here means a validating parser as defined in the XML recommendation. In other words, it essentially just controls the DTD validation. (except the legacy two properties defined in JAXP 1.2. See here for more details.)

To use modern schema languages such as W3C XML Schema or RELAX NG instead of DTD, you can configure your parser to be a non-validating parser by leaving the #setValidating(boolean) method false, then use the #setSchema(Schema) method to associate a schema to a parser.
