XSD Validation Errors of an XML File

[Stryker227]

Problem: I've designed a XSD of which I wish to validate a valid XML
file. However, I cannot seem to get the .xsd to align properly with
the .xml file. Here are my source files:

album.xsd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:marist="http://www.marist.edu/msis517"
targetNamespace="http://www.marist.edu/msis517"
elementFormDefault="unqualified">

<complexType name = "AlbumType">
<sequence>
<element name = "photo" type = "marist:PhotoType" minOccurs = "1"
maxOccurs = "unbounded" />
</sequence>
</complexType>

<complexType name = "PhotoType">
<sequence>
<element name = "title" type = "string" />
<element name = "filename" type = "string" />
<element name = "width" type = "integer" />
<element name = "height" type = "integer" />
</sequence>
<attribute name = "id" type = "integer" />
</complexType>

<element name="album" type="marist:AlbumType" />

</schema>

album.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<album xmlns="http://www.marist.edu/msis517">
<photo id="1">
<title>Jason and I Egging Houses</title>
<filename>egging1996.jpg</filename>
<width>640</width>
<height>480</height>
</photo>
<photo id="2">
<title>Senior Prom 1999</title>
<filename>prom1999.jpg</filename>
<width>768</width>
<height>1024</height>
</photo>
<photo id="3">
<title>Marist Bowling Championships</title>
<filename>mbowlchampionships2001.jpg</filename>
<width>1280</width>
<height>1440</height>
</photo>
<photo id="4">
<title>WWE Live Event - Edge</title>

Hi,

One problem I see is that you are using elementFormDefault="unqualified" in
your schema, and using a default namespace declaration in your XML document.
This combination does not work.

You should either:
(1) change it to elementFormDefault="qualified", OR
(2) change your XML document to use a prefix for the namespace, and only
prefix the album element, as in:

<pre:album xmlns:pre="http://www.marist.edu/msis517">
<photo id="1">
<title>Jason and I Egging Houses</title>
......
</pre:album>

Hope that helps,
Priscilla
