Namespace error when reversing xml file

Question

Hi everybody,
I am using ODI 11.1.1.5.0 and an Oracle 11g database.
I have an xml file generated by a web service that I cannot reverse engineer in ODI.
The xml file is called responseFile. xml on disk C.
The content of the xml file is like this:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'ISO-8859-1'?>
<n0:ZMODIFY_CLOCO_TASK_LOGResponse xmlns:n0="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
<LOG_MESSAGE>
etc .......
In topology manager, I created an XML data server:
daya server Name: F_Response
JDBC driver: com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
JDBC url: jdbc:snps:xml?f=c:/responseFileDiesel.xml&s=RESPO
For the physical schema I specified:
SCHEMA: RESPO
WORK SCHEMA: RESPO
I used the value RESPO for the schema name because the documentation says: 'the schema name (variable s) must be the name of the relational schema where the xml file will b loaded.
if this property is missing, a schema named after the first five letter of the xml file will automatically be created.'
When testing the data server in Topolgy or reversing in Designer, I get the error:
[2012-01-18T15:16:44.157+01:00] [odi] [ERROR] [] [oracle.odi.jdbc.driver.xml] [tid: 3320] [ecid: 0000JJlB4D0FS8T5qBL6iY1F3g1P0000o9,0] ODI-40837: An error occurred during the creation of the schema: ODI-40750: The model generated by the model mapper was not accepted by a validator: Model not accepted: ODI-40817: Namespace not found:
What is that I do wrong? What is this xml's namespace? Should I use it for the JDBC url?
I appreciate any help, I am completely blocked.
thank you,
Daniela

Hi Daniela,
The only time I've seen namespace errors was when using the incorrect driver, not XML in my case but the same ODI error.
