Validation against schema

Question

Hi,
I am using the following code to validate aagainst a schema
DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
factory.setValidating(true);
try {
factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA);
factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE, new File("C:\\PORX_IN110101UK04.xsd"));
catch (IllegalArgumentException x) {
// Happens if the parser does not support JAXP 1.2
x.printStackTrace();
ReaderBase.ValidationErrorHandler errorHandler = new ReaderBase.ValidationErrorHandler();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
builder.setErrorHandler(errorHandler);
builder.parse(new File("c:\\test.xml"));
if (errorHandler.validationError)
throw new Exception(errorHandler.saxParseException);
And i am getting a parsing exception which is that it can not find the definition of one of the complex types in the schema -this is due to it being in another included schema. Does anyone know if this code supports including schemas from within schemas and if so why it doesn't work for me?
Thanks in advance.
Darren

Answer 1

Including a schema in another does not become available for validation.
Combine the schemas.
