∟Using Elements Declared in Different Namespaces - Errors

This section describes a tutorial example of incorrect usages of imported element declarations from a different namespace.

One common error on using elements declared in different namespaces is that the element name is not prefixed with the correct namespace. Here is a sample schema document, .xsd, that has this type of errors:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<book>
<!-- xhtml_import_error.xml

 <p>What is XML Schema? ...</p>
 <pre>... schema code ...</pre>

</book>

Here is the error message reported by the schema validator program, XsdSchemaValidator.java:

herong> java XsdSchemaValidator xhtml_import.xsd xhtml_import_error.xml
