Geronimo v2.0.2 needs access to Internet for SPECjAppServer2004 application to be deployed – it tries to fetch XML schemas from http://java.sun.com site.

So if you're behind a firewall, add the appropriate -Dhttp.proxyHost= and -Dhttp.proxyPort= options to the Geronimo startup line.

This problem is caused by OPENEJB-700 bug which is already fixed and should disappear after that bug is fixedthe fix should make it to the next version of Geronimo.

If your installation of Geronimo has no access to Internet at all, or your proxy requires authentication, you may use the following workarounds (thanks to Konstantin Malynkin for describing them). You may download the necessary DTDs to your local drive and specify the local path to them in your deployment descriptors (see <SPEC>/src/deploy/geronimo directory). For example, you could use <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar SYSTEM "C:/DTD/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd"> instead of <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd'>. Another way is to omit verification at all by deleting or commenting out the references to DTDs in the deployment descriptors. Note that in both cases you would have to rebuild and redeploy the SPECjAppServer2004 application for the changes to take effect.
