Hey gang.

I'm trying to validate my xml, using a schema I built, based on a schema
extracted (using XMLSpy) from a SQL Server database. I am following the
instructions in the FAQ on the jdom.org site. I get an error message,
and the key passage appears to be this:

".... Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find
the declaration of element 'Dispatch'."

/Dispatch/ is the root element of my document. It will look something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Dispatch>
  <DispatchID>685</DispatchID>
  <DispatchEmaisUserID>156</DispatchEmaisUserID>
  <DispatchEntered>12/3/2004 9:40:03 AM</DispatchEntered>
  <DispatchStatusItem>
    <ItemID>2033</ItemID>
    <ClassID>218</ClassID>
    <GroupID>0</GroupID>
    <ItemName>Submitted</ItemName>
    <ItemCode>2</ItemCode>
  </DispatchStatusItem>
.
.
.

The schema looks, in part, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- edited with XMLSpy v2005 sp1 U (http://www.xmlspy.com) by Gregory

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:mapping-schema"
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="Dispatch" sql:relation="Dispatch"
sql:key-fields="lDispatchID" type="Dispatch_Type" />
<xs:complexType name="Dispatch_Type">
  <xs:sequence>
   <xs:element name="lDispatchID" sql:relation="Dispatch"
sql:field="lDispatchID" sql:datatype="int">
    <xs:simpleType>
      <xs:restriction base="xs:integer">
       <xs:maxInclusive value="2147483647" />
       <xs:minInclusive value="-2147483648" />
      </xs:restriction>
    </xs:simpleType>
   </xs:element>
   <xs:element name="lDispatchEmaisUserID" nillable="true"
sql:relation="Dispatch" sql:field="lDispatchEmaisUserID" sql:datatype="int">
    <xs:simpleType>
      <xs:restriction base="xs:integer">
       <xs:maxInclusive value="2147483647" />
       <xs:minInclusive value="-2147483648" />
      </xs:restriction>
    </xs:simpleType>
   </xs:element>
.
.
.

The documents for the above snippets are quite long, so I won't burden
you with those. Can you see what I'm doing wrong? This is my first
real schema, and am completely willing to own the fact that I may have
my head up my ass re: doing it right! Any tips would be greatly
appreciated.
