I was just wondering if someone could give my XML validation code a once over to see if I’m doing it right. Here’s the portion of code that is giving me the trouble…

SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();  SchemaFactory schemaFactory = SchemaFactory     .newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);  // *** CODE FAILS ON THE BELOW LINE **/ factory.setSchema(schemaFactory     .newSchema(new Source[] { new StreamSource(schemaStream) }));  SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();  SAXReader reader = new SAXReader(parser.getXMLReader()); reader.setValidation(false); reader.setErrorHandler(new ResultProducingErrorHandler()); reader.read(content);

Whenever I run the above code, I get an error along the lines of:

src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name 'ns:myStructure' to a(n) 'type definition' component.

The elements mentioned in the error messages are all ones that are imported into the schema via calls to <xs:import />. The schema seems to validate OK via the W3C XML Schema Validator.

Do I have to include each of these schema’s individually or is Java smart enough to go off and fetch these extra schema’s too? I tried adding them in the array passed to the newSchema call but that didn’t make any difference.

I don’t think I can give out the link to the schema, so I’m really just looking for a yes or no regarding if my code looks at least acceptable.

  1. Ensure that the xs:import statements point to paths that are reachable from the current directory of your application. The current directory may not be what you think it is.
