validation.xml version 1.1schema reference warning - root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>

[gerry.matte]

Using eclipse Neon.3 I generated a project that included a validation.xml file in the META-INF folder.

I tried to track down an xml validation error: schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'validation-configuration-1.1.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>

When I opened the file referenced as xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration validation-configuration-1.1.xsd" I discovered that 3) in the above line was accurate.  The root element at line 18 in the xml is xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" not xsd:schema

Is this an error ?  I note that version 1.0 also uses xs:schema

Can you please paste the complete xsd declaration in that validation.xml that's there in the META-INF?

I inserted line 2 and reformatted line 3 for easier analysis:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<!DOCTYPE xml>

<validation-config xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration"

                   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.1"

                   xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration validation-configuration-1.1.xsd"

                   />

That looks a bit odd. Can you change that xsi:schemaLocation to:

xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration http://www.jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration/validation-configuration-1.1.xsd"

[gerry.matte]

That did it.

Thank you Jaikiran.

I will notify George Gastaldi since the incorrect version was generated from Forge.
