after a few lumps i realized that the following issue:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException:
IOException parsing XML document from URL
[jar:file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Tony/My%20Documents/work/eclipse/conciergeWeb/.deployables/conciergeWeb/WEB-INF/lib/myfaces.jar!/META-INF/faces- config.xml];
nested exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: java.sun.com
java.net.UnknownHostException: java.sun.com
was due to not having a connection to the internet.
in some circumstances, i need to work when disconnected.
anyone know any tricks to address this? i have a local copy of the DTD,
but i'm not sure where to place it or what to do to make myfaces look
locally for it.
i think i can always brute force it by removing the DTD from the
faces-config.xml in myfaces.jar, but i would prefer a more practical
solution.
by the way still using 1.0.9 of myfaces...
any help appreciated!
thanks,
tony.
FWIW, the JSF RI deals with this situation by using Commons Digester to parse the faces-config.xml files, and it registers an internal local copy of the relevant DTDs so that validated parsing can happen even when you are offline. That sort of thing ought to be possible no matter what parsing technology MyFaces is using.
