For help on validating schemas without an instance document, read the FAQ at [1].
[1] http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-grammars.html#faq-3 Cheers, Peter McCracken/Toronto/IBM Peter McCracken/Toronto To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: Namespaces 06/19/2003 08:48 AM Please respond to xerces-j-user Hi Talha, The class dom.Counter is meant to process xml files, not schema documents. Try making a valid instance document of blah.xsd and passing that as an argument to dom.Counter -- it will report any errors with blah.xsd, too. If you just want to validate the schema, you could use dom.ASBuilder, but that's deprecated so I wouldn't suggest using it for anything important. I'm not sure what the non-deprecated way to validate schemas is. Cheers, Peter McCracken/Toronto/IBM Talha Aftab <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] om> cc: Subject: Namespaces 06/18/2003 10:14 PM Please respond to xerces-j-user We are having a problem validating a schema that includes another schema. We are having problems with namespaces in general. We are not able to validate the following xml schema using Xerces 2.4.0: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- edited with XMLSPY v5 rel. 3(http://www.xmlspy.com) by R Chamb (Home) --> <!--Generated by Turbo XML 2.3.1.100. Conforms to w3c http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema--> <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://www.LegalXML.org/ns/courtdocument20b"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns="http://www.LegalXML.org/ns/courtdocument20b"; xml:jxdd="http://www.it.ojp.gov/jxdd/prerelease/3.0.0.0"; version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema c:\june1\XMLSchema.xsd" > <xsd:import namespace="http://www.it.ojp.gov/jxdd/prerelease/3.0.0.0"; schemaLocation="c:\june1\jxdds.xsd"/> <xsd:group name="DocumentBody"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:documentation>The "DocumentBody" element group is a reusable "module" that defines the elements and content models for marking up the text contents of the body of a court document. </xsd:documentation> </xsd:annotation> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:choice maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xsd:element ref ="ParagraphGroup"/> <xsd:element ref ="Paragraph"/> </xsd:choice> <xsd:element ref="MachineData" minOccurs="0"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:group> </xsd:schema> The following is the error message: C:\june1>java dom.Counter -n -v -s blah.xsd [Error] blah.xsd:6:18: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'xsd:sc hema'. blah.xsd: 681;30;0 ms (10 elems, 13 attrs, 0 spaces, 223 chars) We think that there is some problem with the namespaces!
