Description

I'm trying to make use of the newish javax.xml.validation APIs. I can get them to work with the Xerces built in to Java 1.5 but not with Xerces 2.7.1. I've got a project still on Java 1.4, so I need to get a non-bundled Xerces working.

I'm testing with the sample code available from <http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-jaxp/>

[slamb@dhcp-105 /tmp]$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-83)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-48, mixed mode, sharing)

$ curl -O ftp://www6.software.ibm.com/software/developer/library/x-jaxp-all-about.zip
$ unzip x-jaxp-all-about.zip
$ javac TestDOMValidation.java

Xerces 2.7.1's SchemaFactory implementation errors out:

but the one built in to Java 1.5 works correctly:

Document validates fine.

xmllint also works fine with these files:

$ xmllint --schema simple.xsd simple.xml
[...]
simple.xml validates
