Hi Andrew, Thanks, I was able to find the XML that had a blank line before the XML prolog.
Also, I used Kernow to validate my document using the same schema in question. Odd thing was, it took like 2 minutes for the schema to compile, and Kernow issued this error : sch-props-correct.2: A schema cannot contain two global components with the same name; this schema contains two occurrences of ' http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml,Length'. Am encountering the same slow schema compilation and "cannot contain two global components" error in my Java app - even after using a catalog to resolve the import for "http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd";. I later decided to reference the files locally in my XSD's like this : <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"; schemaLocation="file:/C:/Users/dsinang/Desktop/xml.xsd"> but schema compilation is still slow. As for the validation error, I did a case-insensitive search for name="Length" and found these : D:\schema\mathml3-common.xsd (1 hits) Line 96: <xs:simpleType name="length"> D:\schema\mathml3-presentation.xsd (2 hits) Line 462: <xs:attribute name="length" type="m:unsigned-integer"/> Line 1085: <xs:attribute name="length" type="m:unsigned-integer"/> D:\schema\xhtml-datatypes-1.xsd (1 hits) Line 19: <xs:simpleType name="Length"> D:\schema\xhtml-notations-1.xsd (1 hits) Line 57: <xs:notation name="length" public="-//W3C//NOTATION XHTML Datatype: Length//EN"/> Thanks to Michael's mentioning SAXParseException.getSystemId() , I was able to zero-in on the Length declaration in xhtml-datatypes-1.xsd. I'm just not sure which other "length" declaration it conflicts with (i.e. not sure if 'Length' conflicts with 'length'). Would you know ?
