Help - Entity mappings suddenly failing xsd validation

Hibernate ORM
1

Hi, we have a legacy app that just recently can’t start because it’s referencing an internet xsd file, and it doesn’t seem happy about it now for some reason.

If I download the xsd and place it in a local file, and reference it by full path it works.
Is there a way to include the xsd file in my jar (with the hbm.xml file) and reference it from there?
Or - is there a way to disable the validation?

<entity-mappings xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/orm"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/orm
      http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/orm_2_1.xsd"
   version="2.1">

Here’s the error we started getting (on multiple machines). (Hibernate v3.6.9)
