Hi All,
This is something slightly out of the topic. But I did not get a reply from the CXF users group and hence posting it here so that someone knowledgeable could help me out. We have a slightly customized Tomcat bundled with the product. Directory Structure <product_root>/jre/lib.ext <product_root>/Tomacat_instance/webapps/*cxfws/* Under cxfws/WEB-INF folder, following contents are present wsdl folder (contains wsdl and xsd files) cxf-beans.xml web.xml CXF related jars are copied to /jre/lib/ext The Apache CXF based SOAP web services works fine in a setup with internet connection available. However, it does not load in a setup with no internet connection available. (parsing failure occurs).The wsdl files depend on a couple of .xsd files which in turn references many external online sites. (like http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#) An extract from the error getting is something similar as follows. (from catalina.log) *javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing file * */........../webservices/WEB-INF/wsdl/xxx.xsd java.net.UnknownHostException www.w3.org <http://www.w3.org> errors* *//callstack* *Caused by: javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException (at /definitions/types/xs:schema/xsd:schema/schema): faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing 'file:/opt/Entrust/GetAccess/infrastructure/instance1/webapps/asicxfws/WEB-INF/wsdl/xmldsig-core-schema.xsd'.: java.net.UnknownHostException: www.w3.org <http://www.w3.org> at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.getDocument(WSDLReaderImpl.java:2198) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.parseSchema(WSDLReaderImpl.java:830) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.parseSchema(WSDLReaderImpl.java:864) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.parseSchema(WSDLReaderImpl.java:864) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.parseSchema(WSDLReaderImpl.java:654) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.parseTypes(WSDLReaderImpl.java:610) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.parseDefinitions(WSDLReaderImpl.java:320) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.readWSDL(WSDLReaderImpl.java:2352) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.readWSDL(WSDLReaderImpl.java:2338) at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLManagerImpl.loadDefinition(WSDLManagerImpl.java:255) at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLManagerImpl.getDefinition(WSDLManagerImpl.java:165) at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceFactory.<init>(WSDLServiceFactory.java:85) ... 43 moreCaused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: www.w3.org <http://www.w3.org> at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:184) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:392)* Is it possible to have web services loaded without validating wsdl files or any other way to resolve this issue? The cxf-beans.xml too has external references. Does bundling CXF related jars in <product_root>/Tomacat_instance/webapps/cxfws*/*WEB-INF/lib make any difference? Regards, George
