Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I am trying to use javax.xml to validate my xml against my schema. The problem is that if I have a schema like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:wmh="http://www.wmhelp.com/2003/eGenerator"
   elementFormDefault="qualified">
    <xs:element name="aLife">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element ref="x"/>
                <xs:element ref="y"/>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
 
    <xs:element name="x">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="repeated" type="xs:string"/>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
    <xs:element name="y">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="repeated" type="multistrings"/>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
    <xs:complexType name="multistrings">
       <xs:sequence>
          <xs:element name="value" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
       </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>

Note, in my schema there are actually other elements in the sequences that have been removed for brevity. The validator will throw an error when I use the syntax required for the 'repeated' element inside 'y'. I get an error like this:

Element 'repeated' cannot have character [children], because the type's content type is element-only.

Is this a problem with my schema or something else?
