> 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?
