I have an issue with my XSD Schema. I keep getting the error mentioned in the title. I don't understand why it says that a certain element is not allowed in another. It doesn't complain about the 'accessrights' but it does about the 'settingvalue' when both of them are essentially the same (just a few basic elements; strings and booleans).

Does anyone have an idea about why it's complaining? I am using Apache XMLBeans 3.0.1 (from the Windows 10 CMD) to try and validate the schema.

The XSD Schema file, in its entirety.
