I only modified one line of your xsd file, then got no error using xerces 2.0.1
In the address.xsd, change xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; to xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; Cheers, Sandy Gao Software Developer, IBM Canada (1-905) 413-3255 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Christopher Galtenberg" To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <c@galtenberg. cc: net> Subject: Unnecessary Error Messages - Bug? 03/05/2002 12:14 PM Please respond to xerces-j-dev (Repost with XML and XSD files, as requested) Hello! We are writing a chapter for a book on Xerces-J 2.x, and these need to be fixed before publication (which is -soon-). Error Message #1: Using the SAX parser with XML schema validation on this portion of schema: <xsd:complexType name="businessCustomerType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element ref="phoneNumber" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> with this portion of XML: <businessCustomer customerID="SAM132E60" primaryContact="Ellie" sequenceID="88742"> <name>Ellen Boxer</name> <phoneNumber xsi:nil="true"/> causes this error message: ***Error*** org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-type.3.1.1: [attributes] of element 'phoneNumber' must be empty, excepting those whose [namespace name] is identical to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance and whose [local name] is one of type, nil, schemaLocation or noNamespaceSchemaLocation. The schema namespace is http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance and phoneNumber is nil, so can we get this error message turned off? Otherwise our readers will be frustrated by a "non-problem". Thanks!! Error Message #2: The gentleman who constructed the XML and schemas for our example is certain that they are correct, so we're puzzled as to this second error message: ***Error*** org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation' is not allowed to appear in element 'customerList'. Here is the opening to our XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <customerList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=" http://home.pacifier.com/~binstock/XMLSchemaE xample/theme/address.xsd" source="Oracle"> Are you certain that that error message -should- appear? I thank you for your time...
