The RSS 2.0 schema I've found on the net starts with: --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <xs:schema version="1.1.0" targetNamespace="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/RSS20.xsd"; xmlns="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/RSS20.xsd"; xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> --- The RSS 2.0 document instance I've found on the net starts with: --- <?xml version="1.0"?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>Liftoff News</title> <link>http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/</link> <description>Liftoff to Space Exploration.</description> --- xsdvalid, which is the validator used in XXE, says: --- $ xsdvalid -s RSS20.xsd rss2sample.xml file:/home/hussein/tmp/rss2sample.xml:E:2:1: element type not found [cvc-type.1] --- which is *right*, due to the way the RSS schema is written: * The schema validates documents having {http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/RSS20.xsd}rss as their root elements. * The instance has a {}rss root element. * And "rss" without a namespace ({}rss) is a totally different name from "rss" in namespace "http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/RSS20.xsd"; ({http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/RSS20.xsd}rss). You can either: [A] remove 'targetNamespace="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/RSS20.xsd"; xmlns="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/RSS20.xsd";' from the schema [B] OR, on the contrary, add xmlns="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/RSS20.xsd"; to the root element of the document instance to make it work. (I'm not an RSS specialist but [A] seems to be the correct approach in the case of RSS.) --- PS: After doing this, XXE Standard Edition (but not xsdvalid and not XXE Professional Edition) will give you a very clear error message about its restricted support of W3C XML Schemas. Yes, I'm sorry to say that, but in all cases, XXE Standard Edition will lead you to a dead end with this RSS 2.0 schema. Well, there's a workaround.
