Deployment Failed: XML-24500: (Error) Can not build schema 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/util' located at 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util.xsd'.

Today I was deploying soa composite for oracle enterprise repository on soa server and getting the following exception:

Deploying on partition "default" of "/Domain_base_domain/base_domain/AdminServer" ...
Deploying on "/Domain_base_domain/base_domain/AdminServer" failed!
There was an error deploying the composite on AdminServer: Deployment Failed: Error occurred during deployment of component: TimedEventClass to service engine: implementation.spring for composite: OERWorkflows: SCA Engine deployment failure.: org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 10 in XML document from URL [oramds:/deployed-composites/default/OERWorkflows_rev1.0/TimedEventClass.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 10; columnNumber: 834; <Line 10 Column 834>: XML-24500: (Error) Can not build schema 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool' located at 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool/spring-tool-2.5.xsd'.

Cause

This problem comes in oracle product version 12.1.3.0.0 and on windows-7 64 bit system. It occurs due to the parameter -Doracle.xml.schema\Ignore_Duplicate_components=true has back slash in setDomainEnv.cmd file.

Solution

1. Go to <DOMAIN_HOME>/bin/setDomainEnv.cmd
2. Change -Doracle.xml.schema\Ignore_Duplicate_components=true to -Doracle.xml.schema/Ignore_Duplicate_components=true i.e. change back slash to forward slash.
3. Restart the server.
