Problem

Validating a json with the json schema validator throws an exception loading the json schema file:



    at com.networknt.schema.JsonSchemaFactory.findMetaSchemaForSchema(JsonSchemaFactory.java:267)
    at com.networknt.schema.JsonSchemaFactory.createValidationContext(JsonSchemaFactory.java:258)
    at com.networknt.schema.JsonSchemaFactory.newJsonSchema(JsonSchemaFactory.java:252)
    at com.networknt.schema.JsonSchemaFactory.getSchema(JsonSchemaFactory.java:296)

    at com.example.demojsonschemavalidation07.JsonSchemaValidatorTest.test_valid_message(JsonSchemaValidatorTest.java:19)
...

Json Schema Version draft-07: https://json-schema.org/learn/miscellaneous-examples.html
- the lib contributer already tested my inputs, so the validator lib works as expected: https://github.com/networknt/json-schema-validator/commit/236967ad478802233ddf1f5e277bf0903af47e5a
Json Validator: https://github.com/networknt/json-schema-validator
Spring Boot Project: 2.2.10

Test project

https://github.com/nusmanov/spring-boot-json-schema-validation/

Json Schema

{
  "$id": "https://example.com/person.schema.json",
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "title": "Person",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "firstName": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The person's first name."
    },
    "lastName": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The person's last name."
    },
    "age": {
      "description": "Age in years which must be equal to or greater than zero.",
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 0
    }
  }
}

JSON Text

{
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName": "Doe",
  "age": 21
}

Remove the s from https for the URI of draft-07.

The URI for draft-07 is http://....

The URI used to identify a schema dialect is not necessarily network addressable... in other words, "It's just a string", which should match completely.
