Spring schemaLocation fails when there is no internet connection
Solution 1
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.
Solution 2
I solved it
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
classpath:spring-context-2.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-2.0.xsd"
>
classpath:spring-context-2.1.xsd
is the key for working offline mode (no internet connection). Also i copied spring-context-2.1.xsd
near (same directory) the application-context.xml file
Solution 3
Something like this worked for me.
xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
classpath:org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
classpath:org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-context-3.0.xsd"
Solution 4
In case anyone arrives here via the same root I did - I hit this problem because I was building a single JAR with all dependencies, including Spring JARs. As a result the spring.schemas file in some of the META-INF directories of Spring JARs was overwritten.
I found suggested solutions here: How to create spring-based executable jar with maven?
Solution 5
Ran into a similar issue today. In my case, it was the shade plugin that was the culprit, in addition to springframework.org having an outage. The following snippet cleared things up:
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
<resource>META-INF/spring.schemas</resource>
</transformer>
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
<resource>META-INF/spring.handlers</resource>
</transformer>

I am using Spring and in
application-context.xml
I have the following definitions:<?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:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p" xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.1.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-2.0.xsd" >

When my internet connection is lost, I cannot run my application via tomcat or jetty.
It gives:

Any suggestions how to fix it?

Altug over 14 yearshi, your solution is very complex; i don't understand what do you mean ? jroller.com/marshbourdon/entry/using_spring_2_x_xml, i tried this but it doesn't work. Any suggestions ? It couldn't be complex to work a webapp while there is no internet connection. am i right ? Thanks.
-
Thomas Jung over 14 yearsSpring should work out of the box. Something with your classpath is incorrect. My answer contained only some hints to analyze your problem.
-
Alex almost 12 yearsFor those who need a summary: Spring can't find the schemas in the classpath. The Spring core JAR has a schema->filename mapping that is included in the JAR. If it cannot resolve this it'll go to the web.

Upgradingdave about 11 yearsFor intellij users who might run into this. This works even though intellij doesn't recognize the classpath syntax inside schemalLocation and highlights it as a error.

Pragalathan M almost 10 yearsI have declared it like this "http:////www.springframework.org/schema/context http:///www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-4.0.xsd". I have the 4.0 jar in the Glassfish/domains/domain1/lib. Whenever i deploy the project, glassfish refers to internet. Is this issue specific to glassfish-4.0? (added more '/'s for formatting)

Somaiah Kumbera over 8 yearsYes this works because the xsd is packaged inside the spring jar. So no need to check on springframework.com when you can use the xsd inside the jar :)
