I've been struggling with this issue for several days now. I am trying to initialize a standard Spring project with the usual spring namespaces: beans, aop, context, util... my current, very initial, beans.xml file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xml
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-context.xml
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-aop.xml
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-util.xml"
</beans>
When I attempt to compile and run the project in Glassfish, I hit an IllegalStateException while invoking org.glassfish.weld.WeldDeployer. Further down it states that the XML of dependent documents must be well formed and shows the first line of one of the dependent files (e.g. spring-beans.xml) which is clearly HTML. After some further digging, I found that indeed in my mavencachedirs where these .xsd files are cached, every single one had identical HTML content referencing a 404 Not Found. I am working offline with internal maven repositories, but this should not be a problem given that my dependent Spring jar files all have the appropriate spring.schemas and spring.handlers files. It simply seems like my project is failing to recognize them.
I'm a bit new to Spring, but I feel like I've done my due diligence in researching this issue. Any suggestions that may point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE - Following some of the tips posted in Spring schemaLocation fails when there is no internet connection, I consolidated my spring.handlers and spring.schemas files into two files in src/main/resources/META-INF. Running getResource returns the consolidated version of each file in this directory. That said, this still did not resolve the problem.
UPDATE 2 - I've reproduced this issue at home. I created a new Spring project on Netbeans 7.3.1 using the following archetype:
Group ID: co.ntier
Version: 1.0.2
Artifact ID: spring-mvc-archetype
Repository: http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/
Once the project was created, I added a beans.xml file to the classpath and stripped it down to it's most basic form:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd"
/>
I built the project and deployed to Glassfish 4.0 through NetBeans while still connected to the internet. This worked as expected with no errors. However, when I disconnected the computer from the internet and deployed again (AND cleared the cached xsd files from ...Netbeans\Cache\7.3.1\mavencachedirs), I got the following error several times:
WARNING: WELD-001210 Warning when validating file:/C:/Users/Elliott/Desktop/Development/SpringTest/target/SpringTest/WEB-INF/beans.xml@5 against xsd. schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not .
I understand that Spring is supposed to be reading from the spring.schemas and spring.handlers files to locate these resources, but it clearly isn't! I challenge anybody to attempt to reproduce this issue and demonstrate that this is actually working as it should be. Right now I'm not convinced.
