SpringData and MongoDB configuration error : MongoTemplate - spring

Question

I am currently attempting an integration of mongodb to my spring application.
I have the initial mongodb environment setup on my machine, service startup, etc.
However on the application configuration in spring there is an error related to the mongoTemplate construction-arg
"wildcard is strict but no declaration found for element"
I've actually used the same xml outlay as described in the documents here, the same as some recent tutorials online, and as far as I can tell I have addded the correct namespace urls. So i am a bit lost at the moment as to what I am missing. Any help on this is most appreciated.
Here is a look at the xml configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Qualify the xsd names to match the spring version you're using.
Considering you're using Spring 4, the xshema name space will change to following.
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mongo="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.0.xsd
