without digging too much into the issue, have you looked into using XMLBeans inst2xsd tool to create an XSD for the instances you get from Xcelsius. I've had a lot of success with the xsds created and it was much easier than writing my own from scratch.
As far as the empty array, it might be related to the namespace. try calling validate(errors) and iterating through the error list and that might shed some more light on what is causing this. -jacobd On Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 6:13 AM, Schuster Stefan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I have a problem with arrays.
