Hi Peter, The URI of your schema is relative to the URI of the entity in which it is referenced, in your case it's the document. So if your document's located in 'C:\code\src\common\schemas', and you set the system ID on your InputSource to 'file:///C:/code/src/common/schemas/request.xml', and you set the schema location attribute to '../request.xsd', the parser will be able to locate your schema.
You seem to be confusing Windows file names with URIs. The noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute expects a URI, also system IDs are supposed to be specified as URIs (though the parser is sometimes lax on that by default). 'c:\code\source\common\request.xsd' isn't a valid URI, however 'file:///c:/code/source/common/request.xsd' is. RFC 2396 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt?number=2396) describes the URI syntax, if you're not familiar with it. Section 5.2 describes how relative URIs are resolved against a base URI, if you're wondering how that works. ----------------------------------------- Michael Glavassevich [EMAIL PROTECTED] Candidate for Bachelor of Applied Science Computer Engineering University of Waterloo On Tue, 3 Jun 2003, peter peter wrote: > Hi Michael, > Thanks, it worked for me. > So it means schema should be relative to systemId path and it > cann't be the other way, that is if xml is in c:\code\src\common\schemas and > schema is in c:\code\src\common, then setting systemId will also not work, in > that case I have complete path of schema in the > xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="c:\code\source\common\request.xsd" > > Can I buy this? > > Thanks once again. > > Regards, > Peter > > Michael Rafael Glavassevich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Peter, > > '/common/schemas/request.xsd' is a relative URI, but the leading slash, > makes the path absolute so it won't be resolved against the base path.
