Michael Vorburger updated MIFOS-4456:
-------------------------------------
Description:
Mifos should not require an Internet connection to start-up - it should run
e.g. on an Internet disconnected LAN (with a mysql server on another reachable,
or same, host - obviously).
Currently if it cannot connect to the Internet, the attached exception occurs
at start-up (and Mifos fails to start).
The typical cause for Internet accesses leading to such problems, and likely
the culprit behind this exception (from a pre-cursory look), are that certain
third-party libraries erroneously fetch XML Schema (or DTD) from the Internet
to validate some configuration files (here, Hibernate). What such library, and
Mifos own' code, must do instead is configure the XML parser / validation to
use a schema (DTD) packaged on the application classpath.
In this case, the QuestionGroupResponse.hbm.xml has a <!DOCTYPE
hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD
3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd";> which
looks like it's causing this.
This bad for two reasons:
a) In some "enterprise" environments, intranet (LAN) applications runs behind
firewalls which do not permit applications to access the outside full Internet.
This may be less of a concern for the typical Mifos target client?
b) For application start-up performance, fetching files from the internet is
less than ideal - depending on the uplink. This may be quite relevant for
Mifos deployments in certain environments?
