SOAP validation error

Question

hi all,
I am trying to validate a simple soap message against soap schema and the xml message part against my own schema. I am getting the following error:
Envelope unmarshalled :[Attributes={}] [Header=null] [Body=[Attributes={}] [Body
Entries=
[(0)=[pns:staff: null]]
]] [EnvelopeEntries=]
Error: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Schema error: sch-props-correct: Duplicate declaration for an attribute group encodingStyle.
I am unable to understand the problem as I have not defined the encoding style in the SOAP message. I am pasting the soap message created:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ http://localhost:8080/myDir/XML/schemas/schemas.xmlsoap.org.xsd">
<s:Body>
<pns:staff xmlns:pns="http://myDir/XML/schemas" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://myDir/XML/schemas http://localhost:8080/myDir/XML/schemas/staff_newns.xsd">
<name>joe</name>
<age>22</age>
<email>[email protected]</email>
</pns:staff>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>
Would greatly appreciate all your help.
thanks and regards,
Rishi

Hi all.
Im using a simple soap template and validating with org.xml.sax.SAXParser.
I've set my xmlreader schema and validation on.
String defaultXMLReader =
System.getProperties().getProperty("org.xml.sax.driver",
"org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
reader =
XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(defaultXMLReader);
reader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",
true);
reader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",
true)
I get the same error when I parse using inputsource or from file:
sch-props-correct: Duplicate declaration for an attribute group encodingStyle.
Here's my soap example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Any ideas why the saxparser does not know about the schema location? Is there another feature I need to set in the reader so it knows to locate the schema? btw the parser validates fine other xml that does not have schema location.
Appreciate help on this. Thanks.
