Hi Michael, Thanks for your reply and letting me know the correct property name.
But I am still not able to achieve what I want to do. As per your suggestion I modified the Java program as below: [1] parser.parse(new File(filename), this); String schmLocation = (String) parser.getProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource"); System.out.println(schmLocation); But I get the output: null (the exception now doesn't come) It seems, Xerces doesn't set this property by taking input from the XML document's hint (i.e., xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation). But when I change the program to (and remove the hint, xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation from the XML document): [1] parser.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource", "schemaFileName.xsd"); parser.parse(new File(filename), this); String schmLocation = (String) parser.getProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource"); System.out.println(schmLocation); I get the output: schemaFileName.xsd and the document also get's validated properly. But I need to achieve what is written in code fragment, [1]. i.e., I want to supply the Schema file hint (i.e., xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation) in the XML document, and retrieved the Schema URI from the Java parsing program. Could you kindly suggest, how this can be achieved with Xerces.
