Hello,
I'm trying to validate the xml string which root follows:

<ScenarioResponse
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Scenari
oResponse.xsd">
..............
</ScenarioResponse>

with the schema file ScenarioResponse.xsd:

<xs:schema
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"elementFormDefault="qualified">
.......
</xs:schema>

My code:

private void validate(String schemaPath, String xml) throws
SAXException,
           ParserConfigurationException, IOException
   {
       // parse document
       DocumentBuilderFactory dbf =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
       DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
       Document doc = db.parse(new InputSource(new
StringReader(xml)));
       // create schema
       SchemaFactory sf =
SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
       sf.setErrorHandler(new myErrorHandler());
       InputStream iStream =
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(schemaPath);
       StreamSource ss = new StreamSource(iStream);
       Schema schema = sf.newSchema(ss);
       // validate
       Validator validator = schema.newValidator();
       validator.setErrorHandler(new myErrorHandler());
       validator.validate(source);
   }

executing the last instruction I get

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute
'xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation' is not allowed to appear in element
'ScenarioResponse'.

I try to use another instance of the SchemaFactory so I try the
following:

SchemaFactory sf =
SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_INSTANCE_NS_URI);

the result is:

2005-10-27 16:17:17,932 [http-0.0.0.0-8080-1] ERROR [ROM] [THREAD: 1]
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
       at
javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newInstance(SchemaFactory.java:181)

so I suppose an instance for this schema is not implemented.

Can someone give me a direction, please?
