I see no other solution than: [1] Translate your W3C XML Schema to a DTD. This DTD should specify the root element of your document using something like: --- <!ELEMENT g2> <!ATTLIST g2 xmlns CDATA #FIXED "http://www.cggveritas.com/geovation/module/g2";> --- [2] In your .xxe configuration file, add something like: --- <cfg:dtd systemId="g2.dtd"/> --- References: * http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/dtd.html -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
