New to xml schema - does the dtd/schema validation happens always ?

Hi group,

I am a novice in XML technologies even though I have been exposed to
it for quite some time. My question is as follows

If a dtd or schema is supplied with the xml, is the xml validated
always against  the dtd/schema ?

We specify the dtd (or schema) with a URL like the one below which is
a part of a web deployment descriptor - web.xml. If the validation is
mandatory why does'nt it throw me an error when I am working
standalone (disconnected from the web) ?

</web-app>


Thanks and regards
Pramod R
