org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of ..

[katja.radelicki@colruyt.be]

Hello,I try to validate a DOM Document using:

SchemaFactory factory=SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);Source schemaFile=new StreamSource("myschema.xsd");schema schema=factory.newSchema(schemaFile);Validator validator=schema.newValidator();validator.validate(new DOMSource(document));

I don't validate using the parse(File) method, because I already have a DOM Tree in memory.BUT now I receive the following error:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'catalogue'.at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unknown Source)at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.error(Unknown Source)at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source)at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source)at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator.handleStartElement(Unknown Source)at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator.startElement(Unknown Source)at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.DOMValidatorHelper.beginNode(Unknown Source)at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.DOMValidatorHelper.validate(Unknown Source)at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.DOMValidatorHelper.validate(Unknown Source)at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaValidator.validate(Unknown Source)at javax.xml.validation.Validator.validate(Unknown Source)

catalogue is my rootElement.A part of the XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><catalogue><date_created><day>1</day><month>7</month><year>2008</year></date_created><date_modified><day>1</day><month>7</month><year>2008</year></date_modified>

And a part of the XSD schema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">	<xsd:element name="catalogue">    <xsd:complexType>      <xsd:sequence>        <xsd:element ref="date_created"/>        <xsd:element ref="date_modified"/>        <xsd:element ref="comment"/>        <xsd:element ref="books"/>        <xsd:element ref="cds"/>      </xsd:sequence>    </xsd:complexType>  </xsd:element>

(I'm using jdk 1.4.)Does somebody know how to solve this?Thank you!Katja
