Title:
  vmware driver should work without requiring patched wsdl

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) grizzly series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The current vmware driver requires the user to run tomcat on each
  nova-compute node to serve up a wsdl file, specified using the
  nova.conf option vmwareapi_wsdl_loc.

  This is a workaround for a bug in the ESX 4.1 WSDL, but is not
  necessary for newer versions of ESX, including the current 5.0 and 5.1
  .  However, the current code ALWAYS requires the workaround.

  We should change this so that the driver can be started without the
  vmwareapi_wsdl_loc option, and that the driver only errors out if the
  resulting connection is to an unfixed version of vCenter/ESX.

  Should be a very simple change to the code, see:
  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/vmwareapi/vim.py#L89
