Why doesn't this validate?

[ychaikin]

Hi,

I've been staring at this code for way too long and don't see anything wrong with it. Anyone see why Oxygen is complaining?

here is the code: (web.xml):

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>  

<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"> 

  

  <!-- Your entries go here. -->

  

  <!-- Disable the invoker servlet. -->

  <servlet>

    <servlet-name>NoInvoker</servlet-name>

    <servlet-class>coreservlets.NoInvokerServlet</servlet-class>

  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-name>NoInvoker</servlet-name>

    <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>

  </servlet-mapping>

  

  <!-- If URL gives a directory but no filename, try index.jsp

       first and index.html second. If neither is found,

       the result is server-specific (e.g., a directory 

       listing).  

  -->

  <welcome-file-list>

    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>

    <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>

  </welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

The error message that it gives me is this:

Hi Yaakov,

The problem is that one of the included/imported schemas, or some of them contain instead of the schema content something like:

***
Our apologies



The IBM developerWorks Web site is currently under maintenance.
Please try again later.

Thank you.

See http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/w ... nt_1_1.xsd

The solution is to get a local copy of the schemas together with an XML Catalog that resolves the remote references to the local copies and set the catalog in oXygen. This is also recommended for speeding up the validation.

Best Regards,
George
