Hi David,

It sounds like Priscilla has offered the same advice that I would 
concerning the addition of the schema location and the correct way to set 
the "http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation
",property in your Java code (the value of the propery must be a 
whitespace separated pair ... e.g. "namespace   location").

Even with this change you'll notice that older version of the Websphere 
Studio product (e.g. WSAD 512) will complain that the reference 
XMLSchema.xsd is not valid.  The XML validator in WSAD is based on Xerces 
2.0.0 and hence we inherit one of their bugs related to process schema for 
schema.  This bug is fixed in the most recent version of our product (now 
name Rational Application Developer) by virtue of updating to a newer 
version of xerces.

BTW, schema editing and validating capability will soon be freely 
available in the open source Web Tools Project 
(http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/index.html).   We're eagerly seeking 
additional contributors to the project. 

thanks

Craig
