problem using prefix in xml instance document

[purushotham]

All,

 

I am validating a xml document against schema using DOM parser. When I prefix the elements in instance document with namespace prefix I am getting

'cvc-elt.1 Cannot find the element xsi:ipos' error

 

when I remove the prefix xsi: from the XML instance I don't get this error. can anyone let me know why I see this behavior.

 

Below is the XML instance and the java program I used to validate the xml

 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsi:ipos xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="substitute.xsd">
 <xsi:ipo company_name="Petronet">
   <xsi:open_date>1 March 2003</xsi:open_date>
   <xsi:close_date>7 March 2003</xsi:close_date>
   <xsi:rate>15</xsi:rate>
 </xsi:ipo>
 <xsi:ipo company_name="GAIL">
   <xsi:open_date>1 March 2003</xsi:open_date>
   <xsi:close_date>7 March 2003</xsi:close_date>
   <xsi:rate>187</xsi:rate>
 </xsi:ipo>
</xsi:ipos>

 

 

Java code

=======

 

  DOMParser dom = new DOMParser();
  dom.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",true);
  dom.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true);
  dom.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking",true);
        dom.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",args[1]);
  dom.parse(args[0]);
