Total newb question. I've played with XML a few times over the years.
Now I need to validate an XML doc against an XSD. I've tried using NetBeans, XMLSpy, Visual Studio, and a Perl script and all are failing to find/parse the XSD as it is identified in the XML doc. The top of the XML doc looks like:
The XSD file is well formed and is where the xsi:schemaLocation attributes says it should be.
None of the validation engines in any of the software packages I'm trying to use is finding the xsd file.
It appears to me that the xsi:schemaLocation content is mal-formed. Shouldn't there be two items in that content instead of the one fully qualified path to the xsd file?
Thanks,
'hope this helps
