Thanks Dave and Joseph. I will pursue your pointers as indicated.
Thanks again.

Are you using the Java processor or the C++ processor? What is your platform and what version of the processor are you using? 2. Spaces are not valid in URLs, so the parser may be crapping out, then trying to recover. Xalan (either the Java or C++ processor) is not at all involved in parsing a schema instance, or in validating it. 3. If you are using the C++ process, then the Xerces-C++ may be the cause of the exception, as it uses exceptions to control flow when parsing external entities like a schema file.

The XML is not namespace-conformant. The name of a namespace must be a URI, and space is not a legal URI character. Fix your file. (Note that this complaint is probably a Xerces error message rather than a Xalan error message. I don't think we have an explicit check for this. But I'm glad Xerces does.) ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
