SchemaFactory.newSchema(..)

[slc]

Hi,

I wan to validate a xml file with a xsd file.

So there istructions:


SchemaFactory sf =
SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);

Schema schema = sf.newSchema(new File(".../file.xsd"));

But when i build new instance of schema (sf.newSchema(...))
java give this error:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: schema_reference.4: Failed to read
schema document XXXX', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the
document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not
<xsd:schema>.

I have tried with several xsd files that seem are ok.
The file path is right.

What also con be?

Thanks,

slc.

..hmm. Code snippets are less helpful than an SSCCE*

SchemaFactory sf =
SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);

Schema schema = sf.newSchema(new File(".../file.xsd"));

Exactly where is File(".../file.xsd") ?

// test the path!
File testFile = new File(".../file.xsd");
System.out.println( testFile + " testFile.exists: " + testFile.exists() );

But when i build new instance of schema (sf.newSchema(...))
java give this error:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: schema_reference.4: Failed to read

I doubt that. You should check it specifically, by
adding the few lines shown above.

Are you sure about the 3 dots ?
