[jdom-interest] XML Schema problem

This last attribute isn't right. The value for schemaLocation should be

1. The namespace being constrained
2. The file for that namespace

So you want something like:

<test
  xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
  xmlns=http://default.namespace.com
  xsi:schemaLocation=http://default.namespace.com test.xsd />

That will locate the schema for the default namespace (which the element
"test" is in), and should work.
