Steve,
My web-app is working now but two things changed and I'm not sure which
one did it.
One - My xml file had all the namespace and schema location data in it.
I took that out.
Two - Something else was giving me fits so I recompiled my web-app. I
had probably tweaked the schema somewhat since the last compile so the
bindings ended up being redone (I use ant to handle binding and
compiling together).
When I get a chance I'll try adding the namespace and schema validation
back in to see if it will work. Now that I look back it was probably
the binding be slightly out of sync. The namespace stuff may have gone
in after the last binding.
Thanks
Brad
