[oXygen-user] How do I switch off validation of XSDs that are called by an XML document instance [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi John,

Putting the local schemas in the schema location attribute, like below:

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/gml gml3.2.0/gml/gml.xsd
    http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink gml3.2.0/xlink/xlinks.xsd
    urn:x-ogp:spec:schema-xsd:EPSG:0.1:dataset gml3.2.0/EPSG.xsd">

I get the file reported valid without any errors.

Now, a couple of observations:

- your archive contains gml 3.2.0 while your instance refers to gml 
3.2.1, see the initial schemaLocation:

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/gml 
http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gml.3.2.1/gml.xsd
    http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink 
http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gml.3.2.1/xlink/xlinks.xsd
    urn:x-ogp:spec:schema-xsd:EPSG:0.1:dataset 
urn:x-ogp:spec:schema-xsd:EPSG:0.1:dataset">

- the remote schemas at the locations in your original file do not 
exist, or at least I cannot access them, I get a 404 not found HTTP error.

- you do not have a location specified for the last schema, so I assume 
you also have a catalog that maps that to a location?

Best Regards,
George
