Spring schemaLocation fails when there is no internet connection

by

There is no need to use the classpath: protocol in your schemaLocation URL if the namespace is configured correctly and the XSD file is on your classpath.

Spring doc “Registering the handler and the schema” shows how it should be done.

In your case, the problem was probably that the spring-context jar on your classpath was not 2.1. That was why changing the protocol to classpath: and putting the specific 2.1 XSD in your classpath fixed the problem.

From what I’ve seen, there are 2 schemas defined for the main XSD contained in a spring-* jar. Once to resolve the schema URL with the version and once without it.

As an example see this part of the spring.schemas contents in spring-context-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar:

http\://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd=org/springframework/context/config/spring-context-2.5.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/context/spring-context.xsd=org/springframework/context/config/spring-context-3.0.xsd

This means that (in xsi:schemaLocation) 

http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd

will be validated against 

org/springframework/context/config/spring-context-2.5.xsd

in the classpath. 

http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd

or

http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd

will be validated against

org/springframework/context/config/spring-context-3.0.xsd

in the classpath.

http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.1.xsd

is not defined so Spring will look for it using the literal URL defined in schemaLocation.
