Hello,

The XML Schema specification does not provide a public ID mechanism for associating an XML Schema with a unique ID independent of the storage location. You have to use the system ID mechanism to map your XML Schemas references to XSD files through an XML catalog. That means a DOCTYPE declaration that associates an ID with an XSD file

<!DOCTYPE be PUBLIC "-//Kluwer/XSD BE-JUR-OFF-XML//NL" "be-jur-off.xsd">

does not make sense. Only a DTD can be associated in this way. All your XML documents validated against XML Schemas should look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<be xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="file:/C:/Daidalos/PuMaSVN/relax/trunk/DTDs/be-jur-off/be-jur-off.xsd"
  xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance ">
...
</be>

or should be associated by default with the XML Schema set in an oXygen document type as you can read in the validation error message that you posted. You define a document type from menu Options -> Preferences -> Document Type Association:

The public ID mechanism available for DTDs was defined in the W3C XML specification where DTDs are also defined and was inherited from SGML. XML Schema was defined in a different specification (the W3C XML Schema specification) which defines only the system ID mechanism.

This xml-instance validates just fine. Note that I had to comment the DOCTYPE declaration. What's the problem with my setup of catalog and PUBLIC IDs?
