Thank you for your help.
I removed the document type declaration and referenced the schema in the
root node as you suggested. I now receive a new error:
Element type "Method" must be declared.
"Method" is my root element.
I'm sure I am making some kind of rookie mistake. Instead of asking everyone
to help me debug my project, perhaps someone can suggest some reference
material on schema validation using SAX and Xerces 1.x?

:
In difference to the DTD reference
<!DOCTYPE rootnode SYSTEM "my.dtd">
the reference to a schema must be made with
<rootnode
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='my.xsd'>
:
</rootnode>
It's not possible to only change the "my.dtd" to "my.xsd"!
Hope this helps,
Andi.
