how to use catalog files in jbossws?

[smartz]

Hi,

I have a WSDL that imports an external schema using a URL:

...
<wsdl:types>
 <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://www.foobar.com/SimpleService/">
 <xsd:import namespace="http://www.foobar.com/SimpleService/Schema"
 schemaLocation="http://127.0.0.1:9090/SimpleService/Schema"></xsd:import>
 </xsd:schema>
</wsdl:types>
...

The URL (127.0.0.1:9090) is not available while consuming the WSDL (wsconsume/wsimport), nor at runtime.

I would like to avoid editing the WSDL, so I have created a catalog file (see below) and I am able to run wsconsume/wsimport correctly using the 'catalog' ant attribute; however, I cannot understand how to provide the catalog file in the runtime environment (deployed WAR/EAR).

I have tried putting the catalog file in META-INF and WEB-INF, but it does not seem to be picked.

I am running JBoss 4.2.3 with JBossWS jbossws-3.0.1-native-2.0.4.GA

Catalog file (jax-ws-catalog.xml):

<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"
 prefer="system">
 <system
 systemId="http://127.0.0.1:9090/SimpleService/Schema"
 uri="../wsdl/SimpleService.xsd" />
</catalog>

thanks in advance for any help

The stacktrace I am getting while creating the service client (SimpleServiceService.getSimpleServiceBinding()) is:
