Spring jdbc:initialize-database not working - spring

Question

I can't get spring to initialize my database, although from what I can see I'm doing this right. I keep getting a org/springframework/dao/DataAccessResourceFailureException.
Here is my springapp-servlet.xml:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}"/>
<property name="url" value="${jdbc.url}"/>
<property name="username" value="${jdbc.username}"/>
<property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}"/>
</bean>
<jdbc:initialize-database data-source="dataSource" ignore-failures="DROPS">
<jdbc:script location="classpath:create_products.sql" />
<jdbc:script location="classpath:load_data.sql" />
</jdbc:initialize-database>
The jdbc.properties file is in Java Resources/src and is this:
jdbc.driverClassName=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
jdbc.url=jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost
jdbc.username=sa
jdbc.password=
The create_products.sql is also in Java Resources/src and is this:
CREATE TABLE products (
id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
description varchar(255),
price decimal(15,2)
);
The load_data.sql is in the same location and is this:
INSERT INTO products (id, description, price) values(1, 'Lamp', 5.78);
INSERT INTO products (id, description, price) values(2, 'Table', 75.29);
INSERT INTO products (id, description, price) values(3, 'Chair', 22.81);
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Dave probably you are also getting this error in your springapp-servlet.xml cvc-complex-type.2.4.b: The content of element 'jdbc:initialize-database' is not complete.
One of '{"http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc":script}' is expected. ?
The org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.init package provides support for initializing an existing DataSource. Just check if your spring-jdbc version.
Ref: [http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.0.RC3/reference/html/ch12s09.html][1]
Just open the spring-jdbc jar and see under: org/springframework/jdbc/datasource if you can see any folder by name init .If init folder doesnt exist, then the version of Spring Framework you are using does not support this feature.
