[oXygen-user] Validation of no-namespace Schema-based Document

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Eliot,

oXygen supports XML Catalogs 1.1 and you can resolve the schema based on 
its suffix, so you can have something like:

<systemSuffix systemIdSuffix="simpletest_nons.xsd" 
uri="simpletest_nons.xsd"/>

that should solve all schema locations ending in simpletest_nons.xsd to 
the simpletest_nons.xsd from the same folder as your catalog file.

Best Regards,
George
