[oXygen-user] How do I switch off validation of XSDs that are called by an XML document instance [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Sun Feb 15 21:57:54 CST 2009
Hi George,
Thanks for providing me with a complete solution in the ZIP file. However, I am still having problems.
I unzipped the ZIP file that you provided into a directory. I then opened a new Oxygen project. I opened the Options => Preferences => XML Catalog and replaced mine with the gml3.2.0Catalog.xml file included in your ZIP. I then saved preferences, shut down Oxygen and opened it up again. I then opened up the GmlDictionaryMetadataLocal.xml file in your ZIP. I tried to validate this but ended up with 18099 errors.
I have saved the errors. You can get them from http://asdd.ga.gov.au/asdd/work/GeorgesGmlDictMetLocalErrors.
I checked the first of these errors and saw that they are referring to the GML etc. that was part of your ZIP.
I get the same results using the GmlDictionaryMetadata.xml file that you provided with the same gml3.2.0Catalog.xml file.
I then imported the gml3.2.0 folder to the project and validated the selection. Oxygen seemed to go through all the different XSDs and reported - via a java window - "validation successful".
I am using Oxygen XML editor <oXygen/> XML Editor 10.0, build 2008102212.
I don't know what file my Options => Preferences is stored in. Would that content be helpful? If so, tell me the file name and I will make it available on the above web site.
Thanks.
John
