I have found that I cannot validate web apps when working offline, because
the validator attempts to reach the web-app schema at:
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd

Interestingly, Eclipse's built in caching mechanism has cached this
resource - it appears, however, that the validator does not look for this
resource in the cache.

As I wish to develop web-applications on a laptop which is not always
connected to the network, this is becoming a real problem....

Is this a bug, or have I missed something?

You should be able to work around this problem by manually adding the
required schema files to the XML catalog. This should allow you to work
disconnected. Alternatively, you can disable the validator
(Window->Preferences->Validation) when working disconnected as the
validator doesn't seem to be producing useful errors.

Manually adding these resources into XML Catalog is a solution before
this problem is sovled.
This has been addressed in previous thread, you can have a look.

Hi,
thanks for the responses - I guess I hadn't searched properly for this
issue, so apologies for raising a known issue.

I had tried the XMLCatalogue approach, but will revisit it in the light of
these suggestions.
