You get these errors because XML Schema validation is enabled by
default and the parser cannot find the schema since none is
specified in the instance or elsewhere. You have three options:

1. Disable validation.

2. Add schemaLocation attributes to your XML documents.

3. Programmatically specify the schema location.

These options are discussed in more detail in Section 2, "Validaion
and Parsing" of the FAQ:
