Validating Documents with Relative Schema 'includes'...

Howdy all,

I'm running into a problem in document validation, and I have not found
anything that points me in the right direction...

I am validating a document against a schema that has multiple 'includes',
to wit:
---
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
	<xsd:include schemaLocation = "cCertificateInformation.xsd"/>
	<xsd:include schemaLocation = "cCommodityInformation.xsd"/>
	<xsd:include schemaLocation = "cContactInformation.xsd"/>
	<xsd:include schemaLocation = "cLocationInformation.xsd"/>
	<xsd:include schemaLocation = "cEntityInformation.xsd"/>
---

Now, when validating the document, I use the Xerces property
---
---

The validation is able to identify the 'QualityCertificate.xsd'file, but
validation gives the following errors:

[Warning] :0:0: File
"file:///C:/agxml/NamespaceExamples/cCertificateInformation.xsd" not found.


[Warning] :0:0: File
"file:///C:/agxml/NamespaceExamples/cCommodityInformation.xsd" not found.

[Warning] :0:0: File
"file:///C:/agxml/NamespaceExamples/cContactInformation.xsd" not found.
---

(i.e. the validator is searching for the "included" schema files in the
directory of the java program, not the schema location itself.)

So, my question boils down to this;

-> How do I specify an included schema without 'coding' the directory path
into each and every file?  (This would likely not work well as I move
schemas from my local hard drive to a production 'Big Box' to a website,
etc...)

Anyone run into these problems?

Thanks, 

Chad

I'm running into the same problem. I've been trying to stick to
the JAXP API, and if I can't find a better solution, I'm going
to have to use some trickery with

javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(java.io.InputStream is,
java.lang.String systemId)

where systemId is the base path to resolve URI's. If you find
a better solution, (it seems like the URI's should be resolved
from the location of the including schema) please let me know.
