WFS failing with a "premature end of file" in compile XML schema

[JohannaOtt]

Describe the bug
When validating this WFS in the Team Engine Validator, the validation is failing with many errors. One of them is "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; Premature end of file." in this test and I could imagine that it is also causing many of the other errors.
This is why I would like to know why this WFS causes the premature end of file error because I do not see any differences in its capabilities compared to other WFS that pass.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the team engine validator
2. Validate the WFS linked above against the WFS 2.0 test class

Expected behavior
A helpful error message on why the WFS is failing the test

Screenshots

Additional context
This is the log of the test

Thank you for reporting.
We will do further investigation.

@JohannaOtt The problem is that the schema (DescribeFeatureType) Has imports like the following:
<import namespace="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/act-core/4.0" schemaLocation="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/act-core/4.0/ActivityComplex_Core.xsd"/>

The Inspire schemas have been moved to HTTPS and accessing the URL using HTTP leads to a redirect. The schema validator cannot follow this redirect. This is causing the "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; Premature end of file."

We will try to improve the text of the error message, so the root cause can be understood better. Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

@bpross-52n Thanks for investigating and working on the error message. You are right - when the service was created, the INSPIRE schemas still used http for importing other INSPIRE schemas.

The documentation will be updated with a note about the HTTP Redirect limitation.

We found out that the error message must be improved in ets-gml32.
New issue for improving error message: opengeospatial/ets-gml32#66
