I am trying to use to make my Spring application work with annotations. But I am getting an error: that the prefix "context" for element "context:annotation-config" is not found.
Can anyone tell what the root cause for this is.
You are missing the required xml name space entries
Spring reference documentation
make sure you context.xml is similar to the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

I was trying to run application in eclipse, it was running fine. I created jar using Maven install, and while running the jar I am getting the error "Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/context]
Offending resource: class path resource [appContext.xml]"

I'm trying to update spring from 3.2 to 4.1.6 version, I downloaded the jars and replace them with the old one.
The question is must I change the schemaLocation versions in the application-context.xml ?
If you don't have an exception and the application works then no.
If you have the schemas without the version:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
instead of
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">
the framewrok will get the right schema.
I get an error in spring-dispatcher.xml in eclipse as given below.

It would be great if I get some help... The posts with same subject did not help me to resolve this.Thanks in advance...
The error is because it could not find the xsd. Try doing the below which is using a specific version 4.1.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

Or if you don't mention a version, it will try to use the latest.

A recommended (best) practice is to use this, since the version will
be correctly identified from the Spring dependency version in the
project. Also, the other advantage is that you can upgrade the Spring
version you are using, and the new definition specifications will be
automatically supported in your configuration files without your
having to modify them
There is no such xsd in any Spring jar :
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.1.5.xsd
Spring xsd for Spring 4.1.x can be referenced by :
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.1.xsd
or better :
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
The correspondance between the URL and the real location inside each spring jar can be found in META-INF/spring.schemas, so the "version less" URL will still work when u upgrade Spring.
In my case it went away by adding
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
to spring-dispatcher.xml and then running update maven project.
Belive me or not, this may be a maven problem if you're using it and things ended up like this from nothing. I know this may not be your case, but if so, please update your maven project. If you're using Eclipse IDE:
Right click on the project name.
Maven.
Update Project...
Again, this may be your case. It worked for me doing this. This can work also to anybody else who is on the same situation.
Try this, it worked for me

I have enroled for spring course on udemy. I followed every step that my instructor show me to do.
So if you are using spring mvc and hibernate you may encounter this error
Failed to read schema document 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd' etc for:
<mvc:annotation-driven/> and <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="myTransactionManager" /> elements
in my spring configuration file i had these two urls
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd
in xsi:schemaLocation, which i replaced with
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-4.2.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-4.2.xsd
Actually visit these two sites
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/ and http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/
and just added the latest version of spring-mvc and spring-tx i.e, spring-mvc-4.2.xsd and spring-tx-4.2.xsd as shown above.
In my opinion specifying version no explicitly is a good practice.
It worked for me, hope this works for you too.
Thank you.
I tried modifying the xml as mentioned in the other solutions but none of them worked for me. In the end I tried opening the schema location file on a web browser but it wouldn't connect either (even though internet was working fine). Was the spring framework server down?
Turns out the Internet Security software that we use had to be turned on to access this site. So try opening the schema file in a web browser to verify that the URL is correct and that you can connect to it especially if the configuration was working fine previously.
I had a similar problem, it was giving the similar error for http://mybatis.org/schema/mybatis-spring.xsd file. Finally it was a missing jar in the application. I added the below dependency in my gradle file and that solved the problem
compile group: 'org.mybatis', name: 'mybatis-spring', version: '2.0.0'
So it could be a similar dependency or a spring jar missing in your application
Using Version-less dependencies is appreciated. Find my code below.

You see, I didn't put the drools-service-spring.xsd in my .xml file. So I'm quite stuck with it. Any suggestions?
