simplify: Bad namespace URL http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify #86

Closed wltjr closed 7 years ago

wltjr commented 7 years ago

java.net has been shutdown. This seems to cause issues as the namespace url is no longer valid. http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify I cannot find that file. Makes anything using it, not able to be usable via xjc/jaxb2. Thanks!

http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify is the valid namespace URI.

Namespaces are URIs ("identifiers"), not URLs ("resource locators"). A namespace URI does not need to point to some existing resource. It may but that is completely optional. As the matter of fact, there have never been any resource under http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify, there is no (and never was) a "file" there. So the shutdown of java.net is completely irrelevant and has no influence on functionality of the plugin in xjc/jaxb2.

Now you seem to have a problem that you thought have been caused by "invalid namespace URL". Why don't you start with describing that problem - like, how you execute the plugin (ideally a build script/Maven pom), which error messages you get (complete log) etc.

Ok. Not to get into semantics but a URL is a URI. The fact that it has http makes it a URL, http://. I was not sure if the missing namespace mattered or not. I guess it does not matter. I am looking into building the plugins and using them. Seems they reside in the javaee/jaxb2-commons repository. Once I build and package them, I can see about using the Simplify plugin. Maybe then the namespace will not matter. I think that is the first time I have come across a namespace/schema that has no source.

XML namespaces are URIs, not URLs. The http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify as used in the plugin is a URI, not an URL. And URI, by definition "is a compact sequence of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource". There is no requirement that it is a physical resource and that it actually exists and is accessible.

Seems they reside in the javaee/jaxb2-commons repository.

JAXB2-Basics plugins including the Simplify plugin are hosted in this very repository, where you've filed this issue. See:

https://github.com/highsource/jaxb2-basics/tree/master/basic/src/main/java/org/jvnet/jaxb2_commons/plugin/simplify

Once I build and package them, I can see about using the Simplify plugin.

Or you can get the JAR here: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jvnet/jaxb2_commons/jaxb2-basics/0.11.1/

As it seems there was no actual problem with the plugin, I'm closing this issues as invalid.

I am packaging this stuff on Gentoo, building jars, not using them. This is actually something Hibernate is using. I was not sure what this repo relationship was to the plugin. I did not see it on maven.org, at least version wise etc. What is the relation between this one and the one under javaee?

highsource commented 7 years ago

Historically JAXB2-Basics was a subproject of JAXB2 Commons (hosted on java.net). Later on I've moved my projects from java.net to GitHub, but some older repos probably remained on java.net.

Ah ok, I was just going based on what I was seeing in maven. Seems this project is in better shape. The one under javaee is a mess.
