Issue/Introduction

---

The DevTest Registry service fails to initialize completely and remains in a "bad state." The registry.log contains the following error indicating a failure to validate XML bean definitions:

 

WARN  org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader - Ignored XML validation warningorg.xml.sax.SAXParseException: schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>....Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out

 

Environment

DevTest 10.8.3.1

Cause

 

The Registry service attempted to validate its XML configuration by fetching the Spring schema (spring-beans.xsd) from the internet. The server experienced a network connectivity timeout, preventing it from reaching external URLs. Typically, these schemas should be resolved locally from the application's JAR files; however, an issue in the ActiveMQ library configuration may force an external lookup.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, replace the ActiveMQ library with the attached patched version. 

Steps to Apply Fix:

1. Stop all DevTest services.
2. Backup: Navigate to <devtest-home>/lib/shared and move the existing itko-activemq-5.16.7.2.jar to a backup location outside of the DevTest installation directory.
3. Replace: Place the newly provided itko-activemq-5.16.7.2.jar into the <devtest-home>/lib/shared directory.
4. Restart: Start the DevTest services (Registry first) and verify that the service initializes without the SAXParseException.
