CommonsXsdSchemaCollection and local schemas

[gianlucaJT]

Hi,

I'm trying to use CommonsXsdSchemaCollection to perform some XML validation using local schemas, but I'm having problems when validating against a schema which imports another one. The latter is fetched from the internet even if it's available locally; if the network is not available, then a org.apache.ws.commons.schema.XmlSchemaException is thrown.

The only thread I found with some connections to this problem is http://forum.springsource.org/showpo...04&postcount=6, mentioning something wrong with the underlying URIResolver. Was there any following to the discussion (JIRA issues, etc.)?

I'm using Spring Web Services 2.0.0.RELEASE and Apache XmlSchema 1.4.7. I can provide a small example class and XML code if needed.

thanks,
Gianluca

Since there was no response, I'll post a small example, just to clarify what my issue is.

the class below:

import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
import org.springframework.core.io.Resource;
import org.springframework.xml.xsd.commons.CommonsXsdSchemaCollection;

public class ImportedSchemaTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        // downloaded from:
        // - http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc.xsd
        // - http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/simpledc20021212.xsd
        // - http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd
        Resource[] resources = {
                new ClassPathResource("oai_dc.xsd")  ,
                new ClassPathResource("simpledc20021212.xsd"),
                new ClassPathResource("xml.xsd")
        };
        CommonsXsdSchemaCollection schemaCollection = new CommonsXsdSchemaCollection(resources);
        schemaCollection.setXsds(resources);
        schemaCollection.afterPropertiesSet();
        schemaCollection.createValidator();
    }

}

will throw an exception if executed without internet connectivity. oai_dc.xsd contains an import to http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/simpledc20021212.xsd, but CommonsXsdSchemaCollection doesn't realize that the XSD is available locally and tries to download it.
