ISO schematron & schema-aware validation

[madde001]

Hi guys,

I've gotten confused about how to set up RelaxNG + ISO Schematron validation with schema-aware processor.

When Preferences>XML>XML Parser>ISO Schematron>Use Saxon SA/EE is checked, attempt to validate an instance gives the "ISO Schematron (XSLT 2.0)] Cannot validate <<document-root-element>>: No element declaration available" error. Disappears when the option is unchecked.

Obviously, Saxon is looking for the document schema to use with the Schematron transform.

But where and how do I tell Saxon where it is? Is there some declaration that I didn't put in the Schematron schema? In the document instance? I'm lost. Help!

Hi John,

The default options in oXygen for Saxon schema aware is to apply strict validation on the input. You need to change them to lax validation. See Options->Preferences -- XML / XSLT-FO-XQuery / XSLT / Saxon / Saxon-SA (or HE/PE/EE in beta 11) -- make sure you have "Lax schema validation (-vlax)" selected.

Best Regards,
George
