XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Arjan Huijzer" <huijzer AT gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I am using XOM 1.1 and I get the following error when I parse my XML
document:

Exception in thread "main" nu.xom.ParsingException: Missing scheme in
absolute URI reference

My XML document looks like:


<asset_list xmlns="wke_asset_list" version="1.0">
   <!-- some content -->
</asset_list>


When I modify the value of the xmlns attribute to "http://wke_asset_list"; it
works.
Can someone shed some light on this? I would hate to have to modify the
namespace.

Thanks in advance,
