<html><head></head><body>Thank you Travers,<br>
<br>
The xerces 1.4.3 version works with the namespace:<br>
<br>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"</a>><br>
<br>
I still don't undersand how the xerces.jar is being picked up as I am running with:<br>
<br>
java -classpath ../build/jdom.jar:. SAXBuilderDemo<br>
<br>
which doesn't include the xerces.jar file?<br>
<br>
cheers<br>

<pre wrap=""><!----><br>This could be a problem. The version of Xerces that ships with JDOM b7 is 1.2.0, from 09/2000, so it's unlikely to support<br>the schema spec of 2001.

Then you can use xmlns:xsi=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"</a>.<br><br>I see that you tried using XercesJ 2, which maybe you thought was the latest version of the Xerces jar that shipped with<br>JDOM, but actually Xerces J 2 is a completely different parser to XercesJ 1, and does not support schema validation yet, I<br>think.<br><br>The latest official Xerces release is 1.4.3.<br><br>Good luck.<br><br>Travers<br><br><br><br><br></pre>
