SAXParserException while trying to read the xsd - xsd

Question

My project has a JAXWS class where an XSD is read and finally validated in another method.
Here is the java code where they read the XSD
private static final ThreadLocal <DocumentBuilder> parser =
new ThreadLocal <DocumentBuilder> () {
#Override protected DocumentBuilder initialValue() {
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
// loading Schema file
//System.out.println("Hi .. am in parser");
DocumentBuilder parserBuilder = null;
if(finalXsd !=null){
logger.info("finalXsd FILE"+finalXsd);
Source schemaFile = new StreamSource(new File(finalXsd));
try{
logger.info ("place-0") ;
Schema schema = factory.newSchema(schemaFile);
logger.info ("place-1") ;
docBuilderFactory.setValidating(false); // true is used for DTD based validation, for schema validation set to false
logger.info ("place-2") ;
docBuilderFactory.setSchema(schema);
logger.info ("place-3") ;
parserBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
logger.info ("place-4") ;
parserBuilder.setErrorHandler( new JythonResponseErrorHandler() );
logger.info ("place-5") ;
}catch(SAXException s)
{
logger.error("SAXException in ThreadLocal.");
s.printStackTrace() ;
return null;
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
logger.error("ParserConfigurationException in ThreadLocal.");
return null;
}
}
return parserBuilder;
}
};
XSD FILE (which the above code trying to read) :

I even tried changing XS to XSD in the xsd file. but stil i get this exception.
Please help me on this
Thanks
Arun

Answer 1

Issue is fixed,
This is because, in jboss-5 the files inside the WAR file cannot be read using getResource() and hence there were no proper file-binding SchemaFactory
I changed the path of the file and now it is working cool !!
