Validate XML against XSD with SAXParser results in error

[ErikV]

I have an XML file and a XSD file, I want to validate the XML against the XSD. But I keep getting the following error:\[code\]org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document '/connector/connector.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>.\[/code\]I printed the \[code\]canonical path\[/code\] to make sure I was trying to use to right file. But it wont work. The XML:\[code\]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <Content><commandLine><commandCode>A1</commandCode><marks><mark><code>mail</code><value>[email protected]</value></mark></marks><customerID>1</customerID><MessageType>2</MessageType></commandLine><Antwoordregel></Antwoordregel></Content></xs:schema>\[/code\]XSD:\[code\]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xs:schema id="Message" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14437259/urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata"> <xs:element name="Content"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="commandLine" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"> <xs:element name="commandCode" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="marks" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence > <xs:element name="mark" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence > <xs:element name="code" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="value" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="customerID" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="MessageType" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="Antwoordregel" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"> <xs:element name="resultCode" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="statusInfo" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="transactionInfo" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element></xs:schema>\[/code\]The code I am using to validate:\[code\]static boolean validateAgainstXSD(String xml){ try{ File xsd = new File("connector/connector.xsd"); System.out.println(xsd.getCanonicalPath()); SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI); Schema schema = factory.newSchema(new StreamSource("/connector/connector.xsd")); System.out.println(schema.toString()); Validator validator = schema.newValidator(); validator.validate(new StreamSource(xml)); return true; }catch(Exception exe){ exe.printStackTrace(); return false; } }\[/code\]It will always return false. I tried to validate the XML with the XSD with an online tool, which can be found here: www.utilities-online.info/xsdvalidation. This validator returns:\[code\]Not valid.Error - Line 2, 122: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 2; columnNumber: 122; cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'xs:schema'.\[/code\]What can I do to solve this issue?Any help is appreciated,Thanks!
