Problem with loading XML Schema document in Resin and Spring-WS

Question

I am getting following exception when trying to load a XML Schema file in Resin 3.0.25 container. The schema file does not refer anything external besides XML Schema namespace (http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema). The XML Schema file is valid and exact same code works when using a Jetty container.

The machine that runs Resin is has no access to internet, and machine running Jetty has internet access.

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are:
PropertyAccessException 1: org.springframework.beans.MethodInvocationException: Property 'xsdSchema' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.xml.validation.XmlValidationException: C

I have tried different XML parsers like this but it does not seem to have any effect.

-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl 
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl

What could be the reason for this behaviour?

Edit: With a bit different spring configuration I am getting this stacktrace

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: s4s-att-invalid-value: Invalid attribute
value for 'base' in element 'restriction'. Recorded reason: UndeclaredPrefix:
Cannot resolve 'xsd:string' as a QName: the prefix 'xsd' is not declared.

Answer 1

I don't know why this error occurred but the working solution is to upgrade to Resin 3.1.10.

Answer 2

Probably without internet connection it can't download schema for XSD. You can probably try to use XML Catalog to point to schema available locally.
