JBoss 5 RC1 and Struts 2 : Simple validation error (URI sche

[longbeach]

Hi,
I am using JBoss RC 1 and Struts 2 and I am facing a problem when trying to use an XML validation file.
The error message i get is :
[CODE]
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI scheme is not "file"
at java.io.File.(Unknown Source)
at com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.ValidatorFactory.parseValidators(ValidatorFactory.java:323)
[/CODE]
It looks like it is not happy with the XML validation file.
Here is the content of that file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <!DOCTYPE validators PUBLIC
 "-//OpenSymphony Group//XWork Validator 1.0.2//EN"
 "http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/xwork-validator-1.0.2.dtd">

<validators>
 <field name="name">
 <field-validator type="requiredstring">
 <message>You must enter a name</message>
 </field-validator>
 </field>
</validators>

I made some research and found out that someone already had the same error :
http://www.nabble.com/Simple-validation-does-not-work-td18894126.html
My code looks almost exactly like his.
He "solved" the problem by switching back to JBoss 4.0.5 which is not a convenient solution for me
since i want to stick with JBoss 5.

Can anyone help me here ? Is there a problem with Struts 2 for JBoss 5 ?
I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks

Please post the entire exception stacktrace.

By the way, this does not look like anything related to Tomcat. You seem to have posted this in the wrong forum. You should have posted this in the JBoss AS5 forum at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=287

Based on this stacktrace, all that i can "guess" is that the com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.ValidatorFactory.parseValidators expects a URI to be of the form file://something and because of the VFS related changes to JBoss-5, the URI being passed is probably vfsfile://something which only JBoss recognizes and no one else. That might be why you are running into this error.

You might want to open a new thread with these details (you can even point to this thread) in the JBoss AS5 forum http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=287 where you might get some advice.

While posting the logs or xml content or code, remember to wrap it in a code block using the Code button in the message editor window and please hit the Preview button to make sure your post is correctly formatted

thanks.
I did what you recommended and posted my question again here :
