Hi Julie, Not sure what's wrong here (since you've left out some details), but you may find it easier to get this working using the JAXP 1.3 Validation API. You can compile your schema using the SchemaFactory [1] and then use the Schema [2] object it returns for validation. Schema location hints specified in your instance document will be ignored. There are samples [3][4] included in the binary distribution which show how to do this.
Thanks.
