[RESOLVED] Failed to load custom model

[bluearth]

Hi all,

I have declared a custom model (shown below). it's a fairly straightforward one.
consisting of one document type with three simple properties; two date and a text.
I saved it in a file called: myModel.xml

And I also have registered the model by creating a context file called my-model-context.xml.
Both file resides under alfresco/extension package (under the tomcat shared folder).

Then when I rebooted tomcat,  I got the following exception ():

Can anyone tell my what is wrong with my model declaration?
Thanks before.

you have to declare the "imports" before the "namespaces".

hope this helps

It works!  Thanks.
