Ant 1.7's <schemavalidate> extension to <xmlvalidate> sets things up right for all nested <schema> elements.

If you cannot use the beta, look at the source, see how we set up the property
http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation
Thats neat.

I googled <schemavalidate> and came up with this[1] explanation on this little feature.

I have a question on why the namespace is chosen as the key against which the local XSD can be pointed out.

<schema namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/addressing"; 
file="${ws-addressing.xsd}" />

It turns out that all J2EE 1.4 XSDs belong to same namespace [2]. Further J2EE specifies that the XML instance documents specify the schemaLocation hint using xsi:schemaLocation attribute

Something like :
for web.xml : <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"; version="2.4">

For ejb-jar.xml : <ejb-jar version="2.1" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd";>

Observe how the xmlns value for both XML instance documents is same.

How would one use the <schema namespace=/> thingie in these cases to locate web_2_.4.xsd / ejb-jar_2.1.xsd locally ?

Thanks.
