Expose and access static XSD schema in Spring WS 2

Question

I can't reach XSD schema. Here is my configuration:

web.xml

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>spring-ws</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>transformWsdlLocations</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>spring-ws</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

spring-ws-servlet.xml

<sws:annotation-driven/>
<context:component-scan base-package="example.ws.endpoint"/>

<sws:dynamic-wsdl id="boo"
                  portTypeName="BooResource"
                  locationUri="/services/">
    <sws:xsd location="classpath:example/ws/schema/Boo.xsd"/>
</sws:dynamic-wsdl>

WSDL is accessible on [http://localhost:port/spring-ws-server-0.1-SNAPSHOT/services/boo.wsdl], but how can I expose XSD and what will be the URL?

Answer 1

I've been able to expose my XSD's without using Spring-MVC for it by defining something like this in my @Configuration class:

private ClassPathResource messagesXsdResource = new ClassPathResource("messages.xsd");

@Bean
public SimpleXsdSchema messages() {
    return new SimpleXsdSchema(messagesXsdResource);
}

You should take a look at this question as well, that explains how to do this in XML.

Answer 2

I'm afraid this is not possible, at least not automatically like your WSDLs are exposed. Spring WS doesn't intend to make your XSDs available like it does with the static and generated WSDLs. Of course, you can make your XSDs available through a simple servlet or through MVC (if you're using MVC as well).
