Placing schema's in seperate jar

[gommo]

Is it possible to place the schemas for the service contracts in a separate jar, and if so how do you reference this location.

I've tried just depending on this new schema jar but referencing the location using SimpleXsdSchema throws a ServletContext resource [/xsd/messages.xsd]' does not exit

The schema bean is

<bean id="schema" class="org.springframework.xml.xsd.SimpleXsdSchema">
   <property name="xsd" value="/xsd/messages.xsd" />
</bean>

And I've got xsd/messages in my schema jars resource directory (Using Maven)

Thanks

Yes it is possible. We are doing this in our project.

Just reference the schemas with the standard springframework classpath prefix "classpath:", so in your case that would mean this:

<bean id="schema" class="org.springframework.xml.xsd.SimpleXsdSchema">
   <property name="xsd" value="classpath:/xsd/messages.xsd" />
</bean>
