Xsd schema location can not be found in WSDL file

Question

This problem still not solved since 3 days, really appreciated if someone can help, here is all the code below.

Problem is: this web service works well if I show the wsdl file (which is in my eclipse project directory) to the soapUI from hard disc. But it can not find the Request schema file if I give the url as:

http://localhost:8080/mwp/mws/mwsid.wsdl

This expose the wsdl correctly but cant find the schema, I get the error from soapUI:

ERROR:Failed to load url [http://localhost:8080/mwp/mws/Request.xsd]

this is the spring config file

and this is how I define in the web.xml:

    <servlet-class>org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
            <param-value>classpath:/resources/mtchwebservice/applicationContext-MtchWebService.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>

    <init-param>
        <param-name>transformWsdlLocations</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>

    <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

Answer 1

Changing:

<bean id="schema" class="org.springframework.xml.xsd.SimpleXsdSchema">
    <property name="xsd" value="classpath:/wsdl/Request.xsd" />
</bean>

to:

<bean id="Request" class="org.springframework.xml.xsd.SimpleXsdSchema">
    <property name="xsd" value="classpath:/wsdl/Request.xsd" />
</bean>

should get the schema resolution of Request.xsd to work. The MessageDispatcherServlet looks for XsdSchema types and resolves the request for a xsd to the schema based on the id/name.
