[jdom-interest] trying to validate xml

[Michael Kay]

I don't think the problem is with your schema or source document. It's
something to do with the code controlling the validation - but I don't know
what. I've had enormous trouble with the Xerces validation API myself. You
may find the new JAXP 1.3 interfaces easier (or, dare I say it, the Saxon
schema processor, which supports the JAXP interfaces).
