Hi Simon, Failure to resolve an import [1] is not an error however Xerces does report a warning to let the user know that it failed. I suspect that you haven't registered a an ErrorHandler with the SchemaFactory. By default (see DraconianErrorHandler) [2] it will silently ignore warnings.
If you write your own ErrorHandler and register it with the SchemaFactory you should get a warning which looks like: schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'file:///C:/bar/foo.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>. If you want this warning to be fatal throw an exception from your ErrorHandler. Thanks.
