I can certainly drive this decision.
On this note, does anyone know of an authoritative yet free way to
validate a schema? I'm trying to revise our Geronimo schemas to get out
of the J2EE namespace. I'm at a point where Sun's "multi schema
validator" think my working Geronimo schema is valid but XMLBeans thinks
its not. I have no idea "who's right".
As far as Castor goes, every time I try to run Castor on
J2EE/Geronimo schemas, I get:
namespace 'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace' not declared in schema
at
org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.reader.Sax2ComponentReader.startElement(Sax2ComponentReader.java:256)
This doesn't seem to be a fatal error, but no code is generated
either. Aargh! :)
