Xsd11SchemaValidator.java XSD 1.1 Test Result

This section provides a tutorial example on validating XML documents with XSD 1.1 schema using 'Xerces2 2.11.0 (XML Schema 1.1) (Beta)' version.

First, let's see if my Xsd11SchemaValidator.java program will work with the Xerces2 version integrated in JDK 1.7:

c:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin\javac Xsd11SchemaValidator.java

c:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin\java Xsd11SchemaValidator 
   xsd11_datatype_test.xsd xsd11_datatype_test.xml

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No SchemaFactory that implements 
the schema language specified by: 
http://www.w3.org/XML/XMLSchema/v1.1 could be loaded

java.lang.NullPointerException

I am surprised on this error. I knew that the Xerces2 version integrated in JDK 1.7 does not support XSD 1.1. So now run it again with the "Xerces2 2.11.0 (XML Schema 1.1) (Beta)" version:

c:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin\java 
   -cp ".;c:\local\xerces-2_11_0-xml-schema-1.1-beta\xercesImpl.jar;
   c:\local\xerces-2_11_0-xml-schema-1.1-beta
   \org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor_1.1.0.jar"
   Xsd11SchemaValidator 
   xsd11_datatype_test.xsd xsd11_datatype_test.xml
