Sure, but Xerces-J 2.6.2 pre-dates JAXP 1.3 so it's impossible to use its JAXP SchemaFactory / Schema implementation. It doesn't exist in that release. > A test using 2.9.1 reveals that the "honour-all-schemaLocations" feature is > available for the XMLGrammarLoader in that release (but wasn't available in > 2.6.2).

I think in both cases you probably got the implementation from the JDK. Some versions of Java have a bug in SchemaFactory (the abstract base class) which cause it to load the JDK internal implementation instead of the one (e.g. Xerces) which should be found on the classpath. > Regards, > Nick.
