XML Validation problem

B

Brian

I am having alot of trouble getting a XML document validated with a
schema.

I got a sample document and schema off of w3schools.com, which passed
an online xml validator:
http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate.html. I cannot, however,
get them validated programmatically.

The documents are:

node.xsd:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.w3schools.com"
xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com"
elementFormDefault="qualified"><xs:element name="note">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="heading" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="body" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element></xs:schema>

node.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<note
xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3schools.com note.xsd">

<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

I'm using java 1.5 currently, although I had problems with 1.4 and
xerces, so I'm pretty confident the problem isn't related to the java
version.

My code is:

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
factory.setIgnoringComments(true);
SchemaFactory sFact =
SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);

factory.setSchema(sFact.newSchema(new java.io.File(SCHEMA_FILE)));

DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
builder.setErrorHandler(new ErrorHandler() {
public void warning (SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException
{
System.err.println(exception);
}
public void error (SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
System.err.println(exception);
}
public void fatalError (SAXParseException exception) throws
SAXException {
System.err.println(exception);
}
});

org.w3c.dom.Document doc = builder.parse(file);


The error I recieve is:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-schema-1#cvc-elt.1?note
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:

....

I am behind a web proxy, and I don't know if the validation process
involves retrieving files at the URLs in the xml and xsd files, which
could be the problem.

can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.
