application.xml cannot be read due to XSD

I am using maven to build an ear and, after making it with java 1.6, I am trying to deploy on Websphere 6.1. Upon deployment it gives this warning and then the error below:

> +++ Warning +++: Sun Feb 12 10:17:03 AST 2012    org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: schema_reference.4:  Failed to read
> schema document 'http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd',
> because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be
> read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>.

error:

> exception.DeploymentDescriptorLoadException: META-INF/application.xml
> Stack trace of nested exception:

I tried searching on the forum and on Google but couldn't really find anything concrete on it.

I even tried to put the application_6.xsd in the {WAS_HOME}/runtimes/base_61/properties/schemas/ but to no avail.

The application.xml is actually made by maven so I don't think there should be any problem with it. This is what it looks like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd" version="6">

Can anyone tell me whats wrong here?

Solution

  • The DeploymentDescriptorLoadException means that the application.xml is not valid. The generated code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd" version="6">

    is incomplete. Use the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit as in these questions:
