I am currently working on a project that requires my to be able to parse a particular XML document and validate it against a given schema.
I have tried using the saxcount example that comes with the Xerces package to validate my XML document against the schema. i.e. saxcount -v=always -n -s -f TMT21.xml Error at file C:\xml parser\xerces-c1_5_2-win32\bin\TMT21.xml, line 2, char 16 Message: Unknown element 'TransXChange' Error at file C:\xml parser\xerces-c1_5_2-win32\bin\TMT21.xml, line 2, char 16 Message: Root element different from DOCTYPE Error at file C:\xml parser\xerces-c1_5_2-win32\bin\TMT21.xml, line 3, char 212 Message: Unknown element 'StopPoint' etc etc. Investigation has led me to believe that this problem has something to do with the fact that the XML Schema my document is using uses the Microsoft Namespaces as opposed to the W3c version. Comparing my schema with the schema given as an example there are subtle differences such as the use of the required attribute as opposed to the use attribute, i.e. Microsoft: required="no" W3C: use="required" The schema in the demo file uses the W3c namespaces e.g. Schema file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'> ... XML file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <personnel xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='personal.xsd'> ... Where as the xml file and schema I wish to use, make use of the Microsoft namespaces, e.g. Schema file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Schema name="document" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data" xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"> ... XML file: <?xml version='1.0'?> <Document xmlns="x-schema:schema.xml"> ... I would greatly appreciate some advice on this problem, and any pointers to helpful information.
