That is because.....the "name" is not defined:) To resolve, you should 1. Provide an XML Schema with targetNamespace=http://www.sample.com/sample that defines the attribute name, and import it in the sample.xsd <xs:import schemaLocation="http://www.sample.com/sample sample2.xsd"> or refer to it in the instance document, like: <book mynamespace:name="XML Bible" schemaLocation="http://www.sample.com/sample sample2.xsd"/> 2. Specify "lax" in the processContent attribute of your anyAttribute declaration <xs:anyAttribute namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/> It will instruct the parser to validate the attribute if you provide the corresonding declaration or do not validate otherwise Regards, Peter A.
