Hi All,
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. The wsdl files depends on couple of .xsd files which in turn references many external online sites. (like http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#) The error getting is something similar as follows. *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* 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. I have the CXF related jars copied under jre/lib/ext folder. CXF web service is copied on the tomcat server's, webapps folder. Tomcat is a slightly altered version bundled with the IAM product. Directory Structure <product_root>/jre/lib.ext <product_root>/Tomacat_instance/webapps/cxfws/ Under cxfws folder wsdl folder (contains wsdl and xsd files) and the following files cxf-beans.xml web.xml Regards, George
