[xsd-users] No declaration found for element 'people'

[Anatoly Borodyansky]

Boris, thanks a lot!
One more question, if you don't mind:
If I need to parse a large XML file, adjust some elements, and serialize the whole structure again, what is the best way to do it ( it works beautifully with Tree, but my input Is too large for it to handle)

I'm trying to use parser version of the product, and when I build auto- 
generated example based on the people XML example in the users  
guide(pp 8-9 of cxx-parser-guide.PDF), parsing fails with the message  
above. There is no ppl namespace, or target namespace specified in  
this example, so XML looks like

<people>
...
</people>

Is there a way to make it work without altering the XML file?

The reason you get this error is because the underlying XML parser
(Xerces-C++) cannot find the schema to validate the document against.
There are several ways to fix this without modifying the XML document:

1. You can disable XML Schema validation by passing the dont_validate
  flag to the parse() function. See Section 7.1, "Xerces-C++ Document
  Parser" for details.

2. You can disable XML Schema validation in the underlying XML parser
  as per (1) but enable it in the generating code by compiling your
  schemas with --generate-validation option. See Section 5.3, "XML
  Schema Validation" for details.

3. If you would like to use XML Schema validation in the underlying
  parser, then there are several methods to locate the schemas other
  that specifying them inside the document with schemaLocation and
  noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes. The easiest way would be use
  the properties argument to the parse() function as described in the
  above-mentioned Section 7.1. It is also possible to pre-load the
  schemas in to the XML parser object and use that to parse several
  documents. This way the schemas will be loaded and parsed only
  once. For this methos you will need to use one of the parse()
  functions that take the SAX2XMLReader object which you will need
  to create and load the schemas into.
