This user forum post http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=152041 suggested that support for URLs for the InXsd and OutXsd be added: anonymous wrote : Please consider, however, to allow a URL specifier for the inXsd and outXsd attributes, in addition to the current classpath reference. It allows for much easier debugging (manipulating schemas in file system, rather than JAR resources), and allows reference to centrally http published schemas (as many larger organisations have). This sounds like a good idea to me but I wanted to check if there was a reason for not doing when first implemented? If not let me know and I'll create a jira for this.
