The parser can not load the schema when property schemaSource when set with a relative URI string, such as "Foobar.xsd". The same effect is optainable however using the apache external-schema location property. However, when a full path is supplied, i,e file:/..., the schemaSource can load the file. Note that apache settings does not require this.

I include a test run to compare the settings below. The first run contains the
JAXP setting and compare it with setting the XMLReader property.

Please refer to the attachments to duplicate the case and examples. For convenience, please refer to http://javaweb.sfbay/~umit/jaxp12_bugs/test directory and change the Makefile* to point to the appropriate jars.
