Validating against schema for schemas

[Edwin Goei <ed...@sun.com>]

Hi all,

Has anyone been able to successfully validate an XSD against the 
normative schema for schemas defined by the Part 1 spec?

When I tried this with Xerces 2.1.0 and other recent versions, I get the 
following exception about "xs:anySimpleType".  In this example, test.xml 
is a trivial <xs:schema/> document containing no content.  Is there a 
workaround?  I tried defining "xs:anySimpleType" as a type derived from 
"xs:anyType" but what I did did not seem to work.

% java SAXLocalNameCount -xsdss XMLSchema.xsd test.xml
Exception in thread "main" org.xml.sax.SAXException: Error: URI=null 
Line=1348: st-props-correct.4.1: The type definition is not a valid 
restriction with repect to the base type 'xs:anySimpleType'.
	at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source)
	at SAXLocalNameCount.main(SAXLocalNameCount.java:246)
