Hello, This is my second attempt to use castor. In both cases I can create the java code via the .xsd file(schema). It builds under eclipse just fine. I can run the code that calls the marshal methods and it works just fine. I can test the 'well formed' and 'validity' of generated xml via xmlspy5 and it checks out ok!
But when I try to unmarshal the resultant .xml file the code generates an IllegalArgumentException. This is an example from: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/07/24/databinding.html It's really very straight forward, but I don't know what to do anymore!!!! HELP HELP HELP I'm really stuck!!!! Below is the stack dump from my current attempt: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The prefix 'xml' is reserved (XML 1.0 Specification) and cannot be declared. at org.exolab.castor.xml.Namespaces.addNamespace(Namespaces.java:130) at org.exolab.castor.xml.UnmarshalHandler.startPrefixMapping(UnmarshalHandler.java: 1953) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startNamespaceMapping(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.dtd.XMLDTDValidator.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl$ContentDispatcher.scanRootElementH ook(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher. dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Unmarshaller.java:583) at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Unmarshaller.java:491) at org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Unmarshaller.java:669) at org.dogshow.Show.unmarshal(Show.java:93) at org.dogshow.LoadDogShow.main(LoadDogShow.java:10) this is my current classpath in eclipse: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <classpath> <classpathentry kind="src" path=""/> <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/xerces-2_5_0/xercesImpl.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/xerces-2_5_0/xercesSamples.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/xerces-2_5_0/xml-apis.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/xerces-2_5_0/xmlParserAPIs.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/castor/castor-0.9.5.2/castor-0.9.5.2/jta1.0.1.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/castor/castor-0.9.5.2/castor-0.9.5.2/castor-0.9.5.2.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/castor/castor-0.9.5.2/castor-0.9.5.2/castor-0.9.5.2-xml.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/castor/castor-0.9.5.2/castor-0.9.5.2/jdbc-se2.0.jar"/> <classpathentry kind="output" path=""/> </classpath> I'm using the Sun JRE 1.4.2_01 Heres the generated XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Show><id>1</id><name>O'Reilly Invitational Dog Show</name><judging><breed><id>1</id><name>English Springer Spaniel</name><dog><id>1</id><name>Wil-Orion's Angus Highlander</name></dog><dog><id>2</id><name>LenLear's Webmaster</name></dog></breed><judge><id>1</id><firstName>John</firstName><lastN ame>Smith</lastName></judge><showRing><id>1</id><name>1</name></showRing><dateTi me>2003-11-02T18:56:50.359-05:00</dateTime></judging></Show> Heres the schema: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xs:complexType name="ShowType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="id" type="xs:long"/> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="judging" type="JudgingType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="BreedType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="id" type="xs:long"/> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="dog" type="DogType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="DogType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="id" type="xs:long"/> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="JudgeType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="id" type="xs:long"/> <xs:element name="firstName" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="lastName" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="ShowRingType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="id" type="xs:long"/> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="JudgingType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="breed" type="BreedType"/> <xs:element name="judge" type="JudgeType"/> <xs:element name="showRing" type="ShowRingType"/> <xs:element name="dateTime" type="xs:dateTime"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:element name="Show" type="ShowType" nillable="false"/> <xs:element name="Breed" type="BreedType" nillable="true"/> <xs:element name="Dog" type="DogType" nillable="true"/> <xs:element name="Judge" type="JudgeType" nillable="true"/> <xs:element name="ShowRing" type="ShowRingType" nillable="true"/> <xs:element name="Judging" type="JudgingType" nillable="true"/> </xs:schema> And heres the unmarshal code: package org.dogshow;
