Apache CXF Rest Services using Spring - spring

Question

I am using Apache CXF framework for implementing Rest WebService.I am using Spring 4.3.10 version.Problem I am facing is I am not able to use <jaxrs:server> element.I think there is some change in Spring upgraded version: previously it was configured something like below code snippet:
<jaxrs:server id="userManagerREST" address="/rest/UserManager">
<jaxrs:serviceBeans>
<ref bean="userManagerService"/>
</jaxrs:serviceBeans>
<jaxrs:providers>
<ref bean='jsonProvider' />
</jaxrs:providers>
</jaxrs:server>
When I am using <jaxrs> tag I am getting below exception:
org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 29 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 29; columnNumber: 67; cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'jaxrs:server'.

Please find below my namespace declaration in Spring configuration file:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:jaxrs="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.3.xsd
http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxrs-common.xsd">
So,as it can be seen from above code snippet I have included jaxrs namespace inspite of that it gave the above error.
But now I found a new tag : <jaxrs:model>.[I got this option in eclipse
inside spring bean configuration file by using Cntrl+Space option].
I want to know its usage.
Anyone can provide any suitable example for this?

I had faced same problem few years back(now I no longer use xml based configuration), I don't remember its eclipse auto selection problem or the file was moved. Anyways problem is your schema location, change it from jaxrs-common.xsd to jaxrs.xsd.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:jaxrs="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.3.xsd
http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxrs.xsd">
You can check the both the xsd's in cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs.jar schemas directory.
