Oxygen XML Forum

When i try to validate personal.xml against personal.dtd, i get the error 'cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'personnel'. This happens with any xml file i tried so far that has a dtd associated.

Surprisingly, validating personal-schema.xml works.

Environment:
Linux gentoo 2.4.25
Eclipse 3.0m8
oxygen 4.1
oxygen proxy enabled
no other than the two default xml catalogs
Verbosity set to debug (cannot see any output though)

Hi,

The problem is that you have set the option "Ignore the DTD for validation if a schema is specified" [1] to true. If you disable that feature oXygen will validate against the specified DTD. This feature is useful for handling cases when both XML Schema validation and support for entities is needed. I agree that the name of this option is a little misleading, it should better read: Always use XML Schema for validation.

George,

thumbs up - runs like a charm. The option should be disabled by default, shouldn't it?

Thanks
