Json schema exception no protocol error when creating a metadata type in Mule using a Json schema

Question

I am adding a metadata type in Mule 3.8.1 using a JSON schema called stores.json which contains a property that references an organization.json schema

"organization": {
  "$ref": "definitions/common/organization.json"
},

but I am getting the error:

Error creating metadata... 
org.mule.common.metadata.parser.json.SchemaException:
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:
definitions/common/organization.json

The organization.json schema is located at: src/main/api/schemas/definitions/common and the stores.json is located at: src/main/api/schemas

Thanks

Looks like you are creating the metadata in a currently older version of Anypoint Studio which probably has a bug for reading the schema. Mule Runtime 3.x doesn't create the metadata. Try the current version of Anypoint Studio (6.5.x at this time) to check if it is fixed.
