Is there a new schema location for websphere ibm-web-bnd.xml?

Question

This used to work fine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-bnd xmlns="http://websphere.ibm.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://websphere.ibm.com/xml/ns/javaee http://websphere.ibm.com/xml/ns/javaee/ibm-web-bnd_1_0.xsd" version="1.0">   
    <virtual-host name="default_host" />
</web-bnd>

And at deploy-time it still does but Eclipse's validator keeps show annoying "errors" because http://websphere.ibm.com/xml/ns/javaee does not point to a valid site anymore (redirects to some search site),when trying to download the schemas.

I know that probably I'll just have to turn off validation for these files, but let me try asking first:

• Is there a new home for those schemas?
• Or somewhere to alert IBM that they are failing miserably on that regard...?

Answer 1

Install WebSphere Developer Tools via Eclipse Marketplace. It will add required schema to the XML Catalog in the Eclipse. You can check if you have them via Preferences > XML > XML catalog. These schemas are in one of the jars from plugin (the exact filename can be different depending on tools version)

Location: schemas\ibm-web-bnd_1_0.xsd in jar file C:\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.jee.was.descriptors.schemas_1.1.100.v20141119_2034.jar.

For Websphere Application Server:

You can find all the schemas here...
