SAXParseException coming while parsing the xml file

[Himanshu Rawat]

Hi,

Below is my xml file.

<TariffPlan xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="TariffPlan.xsd">
<IdentifierGroup>
<Name>Local</Name>
<Identifier>
<Type>Prefix</Type>
<Text>8711</Text>
</Identifier>
</IdentifierGroup>
<IdentifierGroup>
<Name>AnytimeId</Name>
<TariffIdentifier>SameTariffAnytime</TariffIdentifier>
</IdentifierGroup>
<IdentifierGroup>
and it continues...


Below is my XSD file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="TariffPlan">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Complete tariffing information</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="IdentifierGroup" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>

..........
.........


And I'm getting below error.

Can anyone tell me why this error is coming? I did a lot of search on this and tried thei given options but they aren't working for me.

Awaiting for response!!

That probably means the parser didn't find your schema. If you rename it to something else and rerun, and you get the same exception, then that's the answer.
