Re: fairly simple schema is still driving me nuts. HELP.

Hi, Michael,
I am still relatively new to schema but I will give it a try.

In your schema you have 'elementFormDefault = "unqualified", which means
that all your elements don't have namespace assigned to them, thus
qualified name is "null:element"

However, in your instance document you say:
xmlns="http://www.sas.com/Critters"
which assigns to all elements in your document the namespace, and
qualified name becomes = "uri:element"

Thus any parser will complain -> it would assume uri:element is declared
somewhere, but instead your grammar was built using qualified name =
"null:element".

To fix this problem you can do 2 things:
1) change in your schema : elementFormDefault = "qualified"
OR
2) in your instance document :
<foo:Vertebrate
   xmlns:foo="http://www.sas.com/Critters"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sas.com/Critters Vertebrate.xsd"
   Name="MarshHawk" LimbType="wing">
 <PreyList>
  <Vertebrate Name="Mickey"/>
 </PreyList>
</foo:Vertebrate>

Hope it helps,
