XML Schema validation problems

[Morten Holt]

Hello group

I'm having issues validating some XML against a schema.
I'm getting the error:
org.jdom.input.JDOMParseException: Error on line 4: cvc-elt.1: Cannot
find the declaration of element 'simpleserver'.

The XML is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<simpleserver xmlns="http://simpleserver.t-hawk.com"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://simpleserver.t-hawk.com
SimpleServer.xsd">
<general>
<host>192.168.0.12</host>
<port>10001</port>
<logger>FileLogger</logger>
<loglevel>4</loglevel>
<password>...</password>
<logpass>...</logpass>
</general>
</simpleserver>

and as you can see the schema is located at
http://simpleserver.t-hawk.com/SimpleServer.xsd

I know it won't validate against the schema, but it should at least
validate the root element.

Any ideas and solutions would be more than welcome.

I am not familiar with the JDOM API and how you set it up to validate
against a schema. Have you followed the suggestions at
http://www.jdom.org/docs/faq.html#a0360?
Does your code give an error about not finding the declaration of the
root element for any kind of XML document and schema or does that only
happen for that particular document/schema combination?

xmllint's error message seems to make more sense, after looking at your schema, see below.

$ xmllint --noout --schema http://simpleserver.t-hawk.com/SimpleServer.xsd yourfile.xml
Element '{http://simpleserver.t-hawk.com}general': This element is not expected. Expected is one of ( {http://simpleserver.t-hawk.com}config, {http://simpleserver.t-hawk.com}module, {http://simpleserver.t-hawk.com}users ).
yourfile.xml fails to validate

$ xmllint --noout --schema http://simpleserver.t-hawk.com/SimpleServer.xsd myfile.xml
myfile.xml validates

$ cat myfile.xml
