How to point xml schemaLocation to a xsd packaged in an application in JBoss EAP?

Issue

• JBoss is still having an issue in reading the xsd files packaged inside the war file, when I package the xsds in WEB-INF and reference them like this:

  <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
          http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans spring-beans.xsd
          http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws jaxws.xsd
          http://cxf.apache.org/configuration/beans cxf-beans.xsd">
  ....
  

• I get this error in the log:

  INFO  [org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader] (MSC service thread 1-5) Loading XML bean definitions from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-beans.xml]
  WARNING [org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader] (MSC service thread 1-5) Ignored XML validation warning: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document '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>.
