I believe the default behavior for loading relative paths is to resolve them against the "working directory" of the JRE, which would be similar to passing a relative path to a File constructor.
To provide more deterministic resolution, you can use the EntityResolver interface [1] if you're using SAX parsing. If you're using a more recent JAXP version, such as what's available in Java 5, you can setup an LSResourceResolve [2] on a SchemaFactory [3]. I've never personally tried the later. -Nathan [1] http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/org/xml/sax/EntityResolver.html [2] http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/ls/LSResourceResolver.html [3] http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/xml/validation/SchemaFactory.html On 5/23/07, Kurt Roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I am trying to import one xsd schema into another via the xsd:import statement. The files are in the following directories: ./appgen/config/ApplicationSchema.xsd <- - - the xsd doing the importing ./appgen/config/xsd/ConfigurableDimensionsContext.xsd In ApplicationSchema.xsd, I have specified: <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; elementFormDefault="unqualified"> <xsd:import namespace="http://prosrm.com/appgen"; schemaLocation="xsd/ConfigurableDimensionsContext.xsd" /> . . . This is referenced in an XML as follows: <Application xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../appgen/config/ApplicationSchema.xsd"> . . . This xml file is located in directory: ./scf/ (./scf is at the same level as ./appgen). When I try to parse with xerces, I get this error: [java] - Unrecoverable warning parsing input SCF: C:\prosrm\pricing/../scf/ PricingDemo.xml [java] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: schema_reference.4: Failed to read sc hema document 'xsd/ConfigurableDimensionsContext.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the doc ument is not <xsd:schema>.

Furthermore (and a bit confusing to me), is IF I have ConfigurableDimensionsContext.xsd in the same directory as the importing ApplicationSchema.xsd, it is found, and all is OK. It seems like the parser is taking just the file name (stripping off the relative dir) of the schemaLocation attribute, and looking for that name in the current directory. Is this correct? Is that the correct behavior? Or am I doing something wrong? I would like the import xsds to be in a different directory than the main one. How can I get this to work?
