Hi, I'm trying to validate a XML document against a copy of an external schema.
The XML document, called portlet.xml start with the following code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <portlet-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd" version="1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd"> I've download the schema from http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd and stored in a file called portlet.xsd. The code for my spike is the following: DOMParser portletParser = new DOMParser(); portletParser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true); portletParser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true); String portletXSDLocation = new File("portlet.xml").toURL().toExternalForm(); portletParser.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation", portletXSDLocation); portletParser.setErrorHandler(myErrorHandler); InputSource source = new InputSource(new FileInputStream("portlet.xml")); parser.parse(source); The code above doesn't work as expected. If I'm behind a firewall the DOMParser doesn't use the XSD local copy and always tries to fetch the xsd from http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd. Any ideas how to validate a XML document using a local copy of an external schema?
