Hi, XML schema validation requires namespace support. You need to set namespace awareness to true on the SAXParserFactory otherwise it won't work. And based on the error message you're getting, the schema document you've specified does have a target namespace so you should be setting the external-schemaLocation [1][2] property instead of the external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation one.
Thanks.
