Validating an XForms document

[Will]

I have been having problems validating an XForms document against the
XForms schema located at
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/2002/XForms-Schema.xsd.

I have reduced the XForm to its bare bones as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xf:model xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
<xf:instance xmlns=""/>
</xf:model>

However, it still does not validate according to any of:

1) http://www.gotdotnet.com/services/xsdvalidator/
2) http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate.html
3) msxml 4.0 sp2

I get errors relating to "model" and "instance" not being declared in
the schema.

Can anyone shed any light on this.

Regards

WH

I have tried validating your simple document against the schema you have
listed above with MSXML 4 with the following JScript program

var schemaCache = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLSchemaCache.4.0');
schemaCache.add('http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms',
'http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/2002/XForms-Schema.xsd');

var xmlDocument = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0');
xmlDocument.async = false;
xmlDocument.schemas = schemaCache;

var loaded = xmlDocument.load('test2004081204.xml');
if (!loaded) {
alert(xmlDocument.parseError.reason + '\r\n' +
xmlDocument.parseError.line + '\r\n' +
xmlDocument.parseError.srcText);
}
else {
alert("valid");
}

and I already get an error when the schema is processed, the error
happens when the included schema for XML schema
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd
is processed so it doesn't look like MSXML 4 is able to help you with
validation here.

Trying jEdit on your file by adding the schemaLocation attribute e.g.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xf:model
xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/2002/XForms-Schema.xsd">
<xf:instance xmlns=""/>
</xf:model>

I do not get any validation errors, jEdit uses Xerces-J from
http://xml.apache.org/.
