Hello Eddie, I'm still confusing everyone with my example, my apologies. The value of a schemaLocation attribute's (schema part) is identical to the namespace defined on the element, honestly :-), I'm using a slightly different namespace in my project which is "http://www.zandar.com/control/";. I've always thought that setting systemId is what is required for a default resolution of relative URLs, as system id serves as a base xml property; while using EntityResolver would be preferrable in cases where I'd like to introduce some custom io post/pre processing for particular system ids, etc. So, my conclusion is that either systemId is ignored (as far as schemas resolution is concerned) by Xerces, and EntityResolver must always be used. If systemId is not ignored then either I've not specified it correctly (in the code I've used many variations: getRealPath("/WEB-INF/devices/config/devices.xml") and getResource("/WEB-INF/devices/config/devices.xml").toString(), with and without devices.xml part in both cases ) or EntityResolve must at least return null to indicate to the a parser that a systemId must be used instead. I'll implement Entity Resolver and it should start validating Thanks Sergey Beryozkin
