[jdom-interest] Schema Validation not working

[Colin Goudie]

I store a modules.xml file in a jar file in /xsd/modules.xml. I also have a
modules.xsd file in that directory too. Note, it is all stored in a Jar
file.

My xsd file has a targetNamespace and xmlns
="http://www.maptek.com.au/rpuwin" but a
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

My xml file has a xmlns="http://www.maptek.com.au/rpuwin"


No in code I do this
builder = new SAXBuilder();

builder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",
true);

builder.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schema
Location",

getClass().getResource(MODULE_XSD_FILE).toString()); // MODULE_XSD_FILE =
/xsd/modules.xsd

document = builder.build(getClass().getResource(MODULE_FILE)); //MODULE_FILE
= /xsd/moudles.xml

Namespace namespace =
Namespace.getNamespace("http://www.maptek.com.au/rpuwin");

Element root = document.getRootElement();
System.out.println("Got root = " + root.getName());
Iterator iter = root.getChildren("Module", namespace).iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
	Element elem = (Element)iter.next();
      System.out.println("Module name = " + elem.getAttributeValue("name"));
}

However, my problem is that it isnt validating. I can screw the xml file up
and I get no errors or anything. Is this right? Should build() call fail?

I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong with the namespaces or something.

Thanks
