--------------------------------------------
Hi Sanjaya,
Thanks for taking initiative to fix this. Nice work on preparing the patch. I
have some suggestions which you can improve on it. Apart from the improvement
Suresh has mentioned do you think you can update the patch to have a order of
preference of selecting online/offline automatically? The reason is that unless
we educate users of this setting in the property file ("offlineModeEnabled")
users may not know that they are required to update it when they loose or gain
Internet connectivity.
So my suggestion is let,
offlineModeEnabled=auto|false|true
and when "offlineModeEnabled" is "auto" (or null) check if the schema url is
accessible over Internet and if not use the local schema files which you've
setup.
Also inorder to dynamically copy the schema files during the build time use the
maven dependency plugin to retrieve the "airavata-gfac-schema-utils" jar (which
will be built before any of the distributions) and extract it to a temporary
location and copy the schema files using an ant task in the maven ant plugin.
(Let me know if you need any help doing this)
Notice that the "modules/rest/webapp" and "modules/integration-tests" will also
require the schema files.

> As per the current implementation Schema validations happens online. Internet
> is required to create workflows and execute them, just because of the schema
> validation. This could be an issue, if Internet connection is slow. Proposed
> solution is to introduce offline mode. If offline mode is enabled schema is
> validated against local schema repository. These schema validation occurs on
> both Airavata server and XBaya.
> Schema Repository - Top Level folder schemas on each installation
> Offline configuration - It could be an property on airavata client/server
