validation error

[eHannes]

Hi,

Whene validating an xml instance i get the following error:

Code: Select all

Description: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'general'. One of '{general}' is expected.

What's the error??

Thanks, Hans

Hello,

Please post small samples of the XML and XSD files for which you get that error.

Here's the XML.

btw when i parse the lom:lom element alone (not in the AOI-PMH container) it validates!
I guess it has to do with namespaces but i do not know exactly what.


Thanks, Hans

The exact error (oxygen gives me) is:

Code: Select all

Hello,

The error message says that you need the general element from no namespace because that is how it is declared in the lom.xsd schema. In your XML document the default namespace is http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/ so you try to use the general element from the http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/ namespace. It worked when you placed the lom:lom element in other file because there you had the no namespace as default namespace. That means you have to specify that the subelements of lom:lom are in no namespace, for example by adding the xmlns="" to the lom:lom element:

Code: Select all

<lom:lom xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://library.wur.nl/WebQuery/ns/lom  http://library.wur.nl/WebQuery/ns/lom.xsd" isn="209785" cd="2006-08-03" cu="jscholt2" md="2006-08-03" xmlns="">
