i get the following error when staring jboss from eclipse. | org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext]; nested exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect | java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect | i know this error happens because im behind a firewall when it tries to retrieve the schema referenced in the bean config files. This is the schema reference im using | <!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN 2.0//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd"> | it seems i need to either 1) configure a proxy that jboss will use when starting up (in a jboss config file perhaps?), i tried setting the proxy in eclipse but to no avail. 2) copy the schema locally so internet access is not required, i tried copying the schema to the web-inf folder but this didnt help? Im at a loss, any pointers welcome. Thanks Andy View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4111878#...
