Validator does not work correctly when packaged as jar within other application about validator HOT 6 CLOSED

Thank you for the quick reaction :)

I can confirm that this issue has been resolved with this branch 👍

What are your release plans for a new Validator version? Can you give an approximate time frame?

from validator.

This is a known limitation and we plan to support loading scenario-content from a jar file.
However, since JAR-URIs fail to resolve relative paths correctly, it is not as easy as 'return a correct stream source in ContentRepository'. This would result in errors loading transitive resources like references schema files.

I prepared a branch with this. This must be testet now. Beta testers welcome!

I should be sufficient to provide a valid JAR-URI to initialize ContentRepository and/or ScenarioRepository.

Unfortunately, we have the same problem with all previous releases. It also doesn't work with your development branch.

First some details about our use case and the technical implementation:

• We want to use the KoSIT validator as a library.
• Our actual application is a Spring Boot application.
• We get the "KoSIT validator"-library as dependency in Maven.
• For each configuration version of the XRechnung (https://github.com/itplr-kosit/validator-configuration-xrechnung/releases) we have its own subfolder in our resource folder of our Spring Boot application.

Here is a snippet with the concrete example (It is relatively easy to reproduce.): https://gist.github.com/AM-csx/63f63c5166345cb398ddcb3a90287037

When we launch the application from our development environment, everything works fine because our application is still "exploded":

If we build our Spring Boot application now as executable JAR (mvn package) and start it, we get the following errors during the initialization:
KositValidationDemoApplication_failed_from_jar.log

Thanks for beta testing the branch. Actual I missed the default deduction of the repository location when not configured explicitly. I created a fix in 3edb23b and was successfull loading the resources with your snippet.

Can you please test the branch again (moved to this repo)

we plan to release within July. The branch is merged to the master now
