XML parsing exception org.xml.sax.SAXParseException cvc-elt.1

Question

My XML contains

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<organization:Organization xmlns:organization="http://www.bonitasoft.org/ns/organization/6.0.0-beta-016">
......
</organization:Organization>

For complete XML file, Please have a look at : https://github.com/bonitasoft/bonita-examples/blob/master/rest-api-example/src/main/resources/ACME.xml

I get this error on server side (JAVA & Tomcat) :

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 2; columnNumber: 106; cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'organization:Organization'. (Full stack trace is below)

I changed the 'organization' tag to just <organization> ... </organization>

Still I get same error: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'organization'

EDIT

It works when I change the xmlns URI as

<organization:Organization xmlns:organization="http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/organization-xml-schema/1.1">

Can someone please explain.

I am trying to run the REST API example mentioned in the Bonitasoft documentation : http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/create-your-first-project-web-rest-api-and-maven-0 (I guess it is pure XML parsing problem & it has nothing to do with Bonitasoft code)

Can some one help me to resolve this.

Thank you very much for your time.

Please don't point to files on other sites, which may well have changed when people come to read this question in 6 months time. If the questions aren't persistent, people are less likely to answer them, because none of us like having archived answers on the site that no longer make any sense. — Michael Kay, Aug 25 '15 at 15:43
@Michael Kay : Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to pate the contents of XML file along with question. But I get an error "Number of characters exceeded". Please let me know if there is any better way. Thank you — Chakra, Aug 25 '15 at 23:55

The error Cannot find the declaration of element 'organization:Organization shows that you are trying to validate the XML instance against some schema. That schema will contain definitions of a number of elements in some namespace. The fact that it works with namespace http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/organization-xml-schema/1.1 suggests that this is the correct namespace required by the schema. If that is the case, then using a different namespace of your own invention will cause the error you observed. it's purely a question of whether you are using the namespace defined in your schema.
