[jdom-interest] How JDOM handles relative path?

[Balaji Chakravarthy]

I found this posting from JDOM archives.  I am finding the same issue with
JDOM right now.  

Here is my problem:  I have an XML (sample.xml) that has reference (using
noNamespaceSchemaLocation) to A.xsd.  A.xsd has multiple includes on different
XSDs.  When I try to build a JDOM Document on sample.xml, I am getting file
not found exception on included XSDs.  I am using relating path to include
XSDs.

I would really appreciate if any one could reply with work-around,
suggestions, ...

Thanks
