XML Schema errors

[njbartlett]

Hi, I'm getting the following exception when deploying a WAR file that uses the osgi namespace in its applicationContext.xml:

[2010-06-04 17:25:54.898] http-8080-1 org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefin itionReader Ignored XML validation warning org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi/spring-osgi.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>.

Subsequently the web application context fails to start due to an XML validation error:

[2010-06-04 17:25:54.898] http-8080-1 org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet Context initialization failed org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefin itionStoreException: Line 170 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'osgi:reference'.

I saw a message in another thread in which Costin recommended recreating the project, however this does not appear to be a build error. I have tried restarting dm Server with the -clean flag and also wiped the "work/" directory, but this had no effect.

The machine on which this server is running does have internet access, via an authenticated proxy, but obviously I would prefer it to use the schema that should be included in the distribution rather than downloading it.

Thanks,
Neil

I have been able to workaround these errors by configuring the Java HTTP proxy settings in the environment (i.e. -Dhttp.proxyHost etc) but obviously this is still not ideal as it requires the server to have internet access.

Now I have discovered that the correct solution to this problem is to:

a) Use the schema URL "http://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi/spring-osgi-1.2.xsd", rather than just "ttp://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi/spring-osgi.xsd" as specified in some parts of the dm Server Programmer's Guide document (i.e. don't omit the Schema version).

b) Ensure that the package "org.springframework.osgi.config" is imported by the bundle.
