Camel XML Schema URL problem
wjbustraan Apr 8, 2009 9:18 AMI'm running into some problems when using Camel schemas within a Spring config file.
First off, let me describe my network situation. I'm behind an authenticated HTTP proxy, so in order to reach the internet, I must supply a valid username and password. When I'm developing in Eclipse, it's able to get through, but when I run the ServiceMix daemon, it cannot.
Apparently, the Apache project recently changed the URL for their camel-spring schema when Camel became a toplevel project.
It used to be:
http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd
But that URL now redirects to:
http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd
The problem with this is that the namespace has changed also. So, in Eclipse, if you specify the old namespace:
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring
http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd"
... it throws an error because the document that is retrieved has the following schema:
http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring
It would seem like the easiest solution would be to just update everything to the camel.apache.org schemas.
I tried this, but I can't deploy bundles with the new namespace. Remember that my ServiceMix install cannot reach the Internet to retrieve .xsd files. This wasn't a problem before because the appropriate .xsd file is included in ServiceMix and it found it locally. The problem is that Fuse ESB 4 contains Camel 1.5 which includes a camel-spring.xsd for the activemq.apache.org namespace.
So, I'm in a catch-22 situation. If I use the new namespace, Eclipse is happy but ServiceMix gives the following error:
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'camel:camelContext'.
If I use the old namespace, ServiceMix is happy, but the Eclipse won't validate my XML files and gives the same error.
I see two possible resolutions, but they seem to be both out of my control:
1) Somehow get the folks at apache.org to remove the redirect and have http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd point to a .xsd file whose namespace matches the url.
2) Get the new camel.apache.org namespace included in a new release of FUSE ESB 4.
Any other suggestions?
