Loading XSD from Jar file

[gdprao]

Hi,

I am new to spring IDE and recently installed spring IDE 2.0 with my Eclipse 3.3. I am developing CXF web service application which uses its specific namespaces and XSD into the spring application context. The XSDs are located within the CXF jar file. Please see the following code snippets.

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"
      xmlns:soap="http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/soap"
      xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd
http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/soap http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/soap.xsd
http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd">

    <jaxws:endpoint
        id="hello_world"       
        implementor="demo.hw.server.GreeterImpl"
        wsdlLocation="WEB-INF/wsdl/hello_world.wsdl"
        address="/hello_world">
        <jaxws:features>
            <bean class="org.apache.cxf.feature.LoggingFeature"/>
        </jaxws:features>
    </jaxws:endpoint>
</beans>

Could someone tell me as to how can I configure Spring IDE so that it finds the XSD from jar file and helpful in editing the application context.

Thanks,
Durga

Hi,

you can manually configure Eclipse to know about the XSD. The procedure is described here. That gives you code completion of XML elements defined in the XSD.

To get full-featured editing and validation support you need to add a Eclipse plugin. See here.
