I am running spring test application in which I have used Spring 3.1.2 and in context xml added spring-context-3.1.xsd. Now for my testing I have removed all .xsd files (spring-context-2.5.xsd, spring-context-3.0.xsd, spring-context-3.1.xsd) from all spring jar files which are in classpath. But still spring application is running without any error.
Now again changed xsd version in context xml from 3.1 to 3.0 and then application failed to start.
Why spring application is running without any spring xsd file in classpath?
Note: All tests are performed without any network connectivity. So no question about getting xsd file from www.springframework.org
