BUG: Document Validation Fails When Target Namespace Property Exists in a Non-XML Document Specification (312700)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000
This article was previously published under Q312700

SYMPTOMS

When you use the BizTalk Editor, if there is a value for the Target Namespace property on the Reference tab of a non-XML document specification, document instances may fail to validate against the specification and you may receive an error similar to the following when you attempt document validation:
The XML document has failed validation for the following reason:
Validate failed because the root element had no associated DTD/schema.

CAUSE

In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000, if you create an XML specification that specifies the Target Namespace property, and then change the specification to a non-XML standard, the Target Namespace value remains.

RESOLUTION

Clear the Target Namespace property for any non-XML document specification.

STATUS

This bug was corrected in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002.

MORE INFORMATION

BizTalk Server 2002 does not display a Target Namespace property for non-XML documents.
