Description

When the spring context contains the <http-conf:conduit> tag, additional CXF xsd files are parsed. Some of these XSD's rely on the WSDL schema definitions found online. However, the XSD is also included in the jar (schemas/wsdl/wsdl.xsd).

When the application starts up without an internet connection, it will fail because it cannot find the wsdlExtensibiityElement definition.

I have modified the xsd to load [schemaLocation="classpath:schemas/wsdl/wsdl.xsd"]. Now, the application starts up fine without internet connection.

The file I have modified are:

• /schemas/wsdl/http.xsd
• /schemas/wsdl/http-conf.xsd
• /schemas/wsdl/jms.xsd
• /schemas/wsdl/xml-binding.xsd

In all these files, I have removed:
<import namespace = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"/>
and added
<import namespace = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" schemaLocation="classpath:/schemas/wsdl/wsdl.xsd"/>

Perhaps there are other setting requiring external files, but we haven't come across any so far.
