HTTP 403 on Schemas?

[ojha_riddhish]

Hi everyone,
We are also facing the same problem with the bean schema. Can anybody provide an alternative solution to these schema URLs? Any guidance will be appreciable. Thanks.

Here too. Panic setting in.

This is a problem in development and in production. Dont restart your apps, they wont start ! Call ops fast, stop all automated restarts and new deployments until this is fixed !

Anyone from Spring care to comment - an ETA on this would be good, or instructions on how to resolve ?

We have found that the problem in our application was that we specified the spring util schema location as www.springsource.org and changing it to www.springframework.org works.

It appears that in the Spring 3 spring.schemas files, only www.springframework.org has a mapping. Our app was written using Spring 2 originally, and recently has been upgraded to Spring 3, however we probably should have updated our xsd locations in our config files too.

So far, it appears that this might be our fix, but we haven't tested it well yet.

I haven't got the code in front of me, so can't post our exact changes.

This is a serious problem - when is it going to be fixed?

We are talking about production systems here!!!

Ditto. This is a MAJOR issue. Any fixes anyone? HELP!

The only fix (just tried it and works) I can recommend is to place all the needed spring schemas in the same folder as your applicationContext and in your applicationContext.xml specify the location of the XSDs using the classpath protocol:

<beans xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
classpath:spring-context-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
classpath:spring-beans-3.0.xsd">

I did the same fix this morning on all our production webservers, as it's easiest to make.

Hi all,
This is the solution we've found so far.
What we did was to add a file in "WebContent/META-INF/spring.schemas" with the content :

http\://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http\://www.springframework.org/schema/tool/spring-tool-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-tool-3.0.xsd
http\://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-util-3.0.xsd
http\://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/aop/config/spring-aop-3.0.xsd
http\://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc/spring-jdbc-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/jdbc/config/spring-jdbc-3.0.xsd
http\://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/context/config/spring-context-3.0.xsd
http\://www.springframework.org/schema/jee/spring-jee-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/ejb/config/spring-jee-3.0.xsd
http\://www.springframework.org/schema/lang/spring-lang-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/scripting/config/spring-lang-3.0.xsd
http\://www.springframework.org/schema/task/spring-task-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/scheduling/config/spring-task-3.0.xsd
http\://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/transaction/config/spring-tx-3.0.xsd

What we basically did was to tell Spring to look for the required files in the project's libraries itself. For example, for the beans entry which all of us were having errors :
"http\://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd",
We found the particular in the Project's libraries folder with this location "org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-tool-3.0.xsd".

For your project, the address might be different, you can find the particular xsd file in Maven dependencies section. Also, you might not need all the mappings that I've put above. You can map whatever you want in the schemas file.

Hope this helps!

I have fixed our production servers now, I believe in the correct way, which is to place a spring.schemas in META-INF to map the URLs to the classpath files manually.
