Hi, I am using Xerces 2.4.0 for parsing XML files and validating the XML against the schema file. I created an entity resolver class which loads the XSD file from the local disk and returns it as an InputStream. I am setting this entity resolver on the parser in this way:
DOMParser parser = new org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser(); parser.setEntityResolver(new TestEntityResolver()); parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true); parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces", true); parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true); parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking", true); My entity resolver's resolveEntity method works in this way: String xsdFile = "TestSchema.xsd"; InputSource is = new InputSource(new FileReader(xsdFile)); return is; I also created a small ErrorHandler that prints out any SAXParseException that it gets. Now, when I try to parse the XML string, I get the following error printed out by my ErrorHandler: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'RootElement'. The XML String I am trying to parse is of the form: <RootElement><Elem1>Data1</Elem1><Elem2>Data2</Elem2></RootElement> My XSD file has the following in the beginning of the XSD file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="unqualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> And the RootElement is definitely defined in the XSD file. I ran a search for this error through google and some of the discussion boards said that there was a bug with older versions of Xerces, which is supposed to be fixed. Any help would be grately appreciated. Thank you, -Vamsi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
