Xerces 1.4.4 use a unified validator for both DTD and Schema, so it was
easier to tell which kind of validation needs to be performed.
In Xerces2, we have separate validators, so things became a little harder.
The result is that there is way in Xerces2 to say "I only want schema
validation". What you can do is to use the JAXP 1.2 schema-language
property.

external entities and schemas 1.4.4 vs 2.3.0

Please respond to
xerces-j-user
I have a document with structure similar to the xml below. When I use
Xerces 1.4.4, I am able to validate the document against the schema without
any problems. When I use Xerces 2.3.0 the validation tells me that all of
the elements in each of the entities need to be defined (however they are
defined in the schema.) It appears to me that the xerces is searching the
DTD for the ANY elements without referencing the schema. Any explanation
as to why it works in 1.4.4 and not 2.3.0. I would also appreciate any
recommendations as to what I need to do to make it work in 2.3.0.
Thanks, Carl
