Hi David, I think that the problem is that you are using "\" characters in schemaLocation. According to the XSD spec here:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#element-import> the value of schemaLocation in an import statement must be an anyURI. anyURI must conform to a URI as defined in RFC3986: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986> (this RFC obsoletes the older ones referred to in the XSD spec). Careful reading of section 3.3 of this RFC shows that the path component of a URI (in this case the whole string) must consist of zero or more path segments separated by '/' characters. A path segment can contain characters of the following types: unreserved (i.e. ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~" ) %-encoded characters sub-delims (i.e. "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "=" ) ":" "@" i.e. '\' characters are not allowed in URI's at all. I am not familiar with using XMLBeans on Windows systems, but I would suggest using '/' instead of '\', and relying on XMLBeans to interpret the string as a filesystem path. I suppose that using '%1c' instead of '\' and relying on Windows to interpret the string as a filesystem path might work, but I wouldn't recommend that. Remember that even when a URI refers to a path on a local filesystem, it is still using an abstraction of a path in which '/' is the path element separator, not a physical path as implemented on particular operating systems. It is the responsibility of whatever software interprets that URI to convert it to path strings as required by the underlying operating system. Regards, Peter.
