Hello John, The value of the external-schemaLocation property is a list of pairs of URIs (just like the xsi:schemaLocation attribute [1]), where the first of each pair is a target namespace and the second of each pair is a schema location hint. Did you specify the target namespace before the location "conf/BDM-FDDNUServletRequest.xsd"? If not, that probably explains why you get the error.
Thanks.
