#9 schemaFactory Fail Under Eclipse

[Bob Arnold]

Wrt the following section of code compiled with the help of Eclipse development environment, in the XMLModelReader class lines 1. and 2. do not equal 3. 1. and 2. produce a clean JUnit test; line 3. errors with the message below

  try {

1. File schemaLocation = new File(xsdFileString);
2. schema = schemaFactory.newSchema(schemaLocation);
3. //schema = schemaFactory.newSchema(new StreamSource(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(xsdFileString)));

Error message:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:schema_reference.4:Failed to read schema document "null", 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>.
