How to validate a Schema.

["Sudeep JA" <sudeep.jain@patni.com>]

Hi All,

We have a xml document and xml schema which uses the namespace
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data" & "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
                The objective is to use JAVA Based XML parser like Oracle
xmlparser and schema processor to validate the xml using the above mentioned
schema.
                The problem is that these processors does not identify the
namespace, which is of microsoft. Is there any way to overcome this.
                I've pasted the part of sample schema that i'm using below.

Thanks in advance.

Sudeep.
