Class PluggableSchemaResolver

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.PluggableSchemaResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:
  EntityResolver

    public class PluggableSchemaResolver

extends Object
implements EntityResolver

`EntityResolver` implementation that attempts to resolve schema URLs into local `classpath resources` using a set of mappings files.

By default, this class will look for mapping files in the classpath using the pattern: `META-INF/spring.schemas` allowing for multiple files to exist on the classpath at any one time. The format of `META-INF/spring.schemas` is a properties file where each line should be of the form `systemId=schema-location` where `schema-location` should also be a schema file in the classpath. Since systemId is commonly a URL, one must be careful to escape any ':' characters which are treated as delimiters in properties files.

The pattern for the mapping files can be overidden using the `PluggableSchemaResolver(ClassLoader, String)` constructor

Since:
  2.0
