Hi Christian, The XMLParserConfiguration (e.g. SoftReferenceSymbolTableConfiguration) is essentially the XML parser: a pipeline of XML processing components including an XML scanner, namespace binder, DTD validator, etc... It may contain a schema validator but makes no sense for a schema validator to have one and as you've noticed setting one has no impact on its behaviour. There's no mechanism provided for setting the SymbolTable on the validator. It's an internal component. If you attempt to set it you'll get an exception.
Sorry, there's no way around this at the moment. Thanks.
