    AS 5.1.0.GA fails to parse Spring schemas, on AS 4.2.3.GA al

    nesyarug

      Hi,

      I'm trying to migrate my Spring-based webapp from JBoss AS 4.2.3.GA to JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA. I'm running into the following on startup:

      Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBException: Failed to parse source: Failed to parse schema for nsURI=http://www.springframework.org/schema/context, baseURI=null, schemaLocation=null

      Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBRuntimeException: Failed to parse schema for nsURI=http://www.springframework.org/schema/context, baseURI=null, schemaLocation=null

      Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBRuntimeException: -1:-1 1:55 White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.

      Would anyone here know why?

      This is the header of for example applicationContext.xml:

      <?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"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.5.xsd">


      Many thanks for your support,

          Hi,

          just some guessing...

          You might try to remove the newline and spaces between "xsi:schemaLocation="...." and the first id/schemalocation pair.

          If this does not work: try to specify the schema locations on the first element of each xsd, as seen here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2000JulSep/0235.html. Maybe the JBoss XML parser does not like multiple schema locations...

          Hope this helps

            Hi Wolfgang,

            Thank you for your suggestions. Have tried them all with no result unfortunately.

              Hi Nes,

              I don't know Spring, so I can just try to reproduce what you post here. I tried to deploy a simple webapp with just one file "applicationContext.xml" with the content of your sample, and this worked.

              I also tried to deploy the spring 2.5 sample "imagedb", and this also worked besides database errors because I don't have a MySQL database. The sample's applicationContext.xml has the same header as yours.

              Could you give the "imagedb" sample a try?

              Best regards

              Wolfgang

                I've now tried to run imagedb on JBoss 5.1.0 in a default server and there are no errors. Seems I have some more investigation to do and compare...

                Thanks for the suggestion.

                  By the process of elimination I've now narrowed it down to a specific file, but can't for the life of me figure out what could be wrong.

                  The problematic file is my Hibernate/DAO configuration applicationContext-hibernate.xml. Strange however that it seems to fail with the "White spaces" error on the XSD for the first non-default namespace in the XML file.

                  Here is my "beans" tag:

                  <?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:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
                   xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
                   http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
                   http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
                   http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd
                   http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx
                   http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-2.5.xsd">


                  When the first non-default namespace tag starts with "<context:", in my case:

                  <context:annotation-config />


                  the error is:

                  Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBException: Failed to parse source: Failed to parse schema for nsURI=http://www.springframework.org/schema/context, baseURI=null, schemaLocation=null

                  When I remove that line so that the first non-default namespace tag starts with "<tx:", in my case:

                  <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />


                  the error is:

                  Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBException: Failed to parse source: Failed to parse schema for nsURI=http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx, baseURI=null, schemaLocation=null

                  Does that make sense to anyone?

                    I have the same exception with an applicationContext file in /WEB-INF, but it works fine when putting the context file in an classpath: location or elsewhere but /WEB-INF.

                      Alexis, yes that is the solution (or rather workaround).

                       

                      Somehow I didn't understand it before as I had in my mind that Spring  was hardwired to read these files from WEB-INF and I misread "a  directory under WEB-INF" for "in WEB-INF".

                      Anyhow, I moved the problematic files into a new directory  WEB-INF/appctx, updated my web.xml:

                      <context-param>
                      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
                      <param-value>/WEB-INF/appctx/applicationContext-hibernate.xml  /WEB-INF/appctx/applicationContext-security.xml...

                      and the "White spaces are required between publicId and systemId"  disappeared

                      I then had to go through a whole bunch of other issues, but I'm running  on JBoss 5.1.0 now.

                      Many thanks for all your support.
