you have not declared a type in <element name="CA"
substitutionGroup="xsd1:CA2" abstract="false"
final="#all"/> so anyType is assumed. however, the type must be
the type or a subtype of the head of the substitution group and that
type is type="xsd1:CAType" by reference to CA3. anyType is a supertype,
not a subtype, of xsd1:CAType so the schema is not valid.

Ok, that sounds convincing. Thanks for the fast response.
I do think if it would be better for this error scenario to be reported
either as a diagnostic or as a more meaningful exception rather than as
a NullPointerException. I've managed to code a whole load of erroneous
schemas so far but this is the first time I've had an NPE out of the XSD
validation code.
If the schema is at fault then, as a general rule, I like to be able to
return some kind of vaguely meaningful message to the user. In this
scenario all I can really do is report that schema validation failed.
Thanks.
Paul.

Paul,
It should't produce an NPE. Please open a bugzilla for your sample schema.
