Hi Elena, > Xerces does not allow you to validate a schema against Schema for > Schemas.
Just out of curiosity, why doens't Xerces allow you to validate a Schema against the schema for schemas? Can't you supply the Schema for schemas in the "http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation"; property and then validate normally? What's different with the Schema for schemas compared to other schemas? Like this: reader.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation";, "XMLSchema.xsd"); Cheers, /Eddie > > > > but, you avoided the quaestion that i asked, shouldnt xerces 'know' that i > > am asking it to validate a schema? > > No. The DocumentTracer is design to trace instance documents (and > validate those).
