加载 Apache CXF SOAP web 服务而不验证 wsdl 文件

Question

The Apache CXF based SOAP web services works fine in a setup with internet connection available. However a client has reported problem in a setup with no internet connection available. The wsdl files is dependent on couple of xsd files which inturn references many external online sites. The error getting is something similar as follows.

javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing file 
/........../webservices/WEB-INF/wsdl/xxx.xsd java.net.UnknownHostException www.w3.org errors

Is it possible to have web services loaded without validating wsdl files? The cxf-beans.xml too has external references. One option I could think of defining all external references (online references) as local to file systems. But this looks non practical since it has lot of references. Any other suggestions to make it work in a system with no internet connections?

Answer 1

Was able to resolve parsing error on startup of the product by removing wsdlLocation from cxf-beans.xml and also from the @javax.jws.WebService annotation in the SOAP service implementation class. Client code without SSL is working, but with SSL has some issues.
