Hi Michael, The external schema location properties have the same definitions as the ones defined in the schema spec [1]. The value of schemaLocation is a list of pairs of URIs, where the first of each pair is a target namespace and the second of each pair is a schema location hint. You've only specified a location. Does your schema have a target namespace? If it doesn't have one you should be using the noNamespaceSchemaLocation property instead.
