title: How to use local xsd for EhCache with Spring
body: <p>We are facing one issue about EhCache and Spring, when we point XSD file in ehcache.xml to  <a href="http://ehcache.org/ehcache.xsd" rel="noreferrer">http://ehcache.org/ehcache.xsd</a>, everything is ok, our application can startup correct.
      But our server can't access external website, so we changed XSD location to local as below, but the application can't startup with following exception (already copy ehcache.xsd to classes folder, same as ehcache.xml).
      I have googled many solution, but it still can't be fixed. I need your help about this. Thank you very much.</p>
  
  <p>Spring: 3.1.0
  EhCache: 2.4.2
  Server: Tomcat 6.0
  Java  :  1.6</p>
  
  <p>Config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ehcache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ehcache.xsd"
      updateCheck="false" monitoring="autodetect" dynamicConfig="true"&gt;
