I am trying to learn Spring MVC and trying some sample applications. I am getting an error Line 14 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/config/sdnext-servlet.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 14; columnNumber: 61; cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'beans'. I am getting stuck in the middle because of this error. Please help me to fix the error.

My Spring Configuration XML file:

    <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

        xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

  • It doesn't look like an error in your application context, but in the sdnext-servlet.xml file, on line 14. unless you named your application context xml "sdnext-servlet.xml". Commented Mar 19, 2014 at 16:42
  • Can you please elaborate your answer so that I can understand your point correctly. Commented Mar 19, 2014 at 17:02

Reset to default

XML is case-sensitive - you need xsi:schemaLocation (capital L), not xsi:schemalocation (small l).

The error is because you haven't provided an xsi:schemaLocation attribute, so the schema validator doesn't know where to find the schema declarations for the elements you're using in the XML file.

The error got fixed by changing schemalocation as schemaLocation with capital L in location and you too gave proper sdnext-servlet.xml with this change.Thanks for your reply
@Riya, no problem, yrw :)

try to copy-paste this into your xml, there is a problem

    xsi:schemaLocation="

Its not making any difference. Seems both are same.
I was getting the same exception with your xml, but when I replaced springframework.org/schema/beans from my working xml the error disappeared
may be you have changed the schemalocation into schemaLocation in your xml and it worked i guess. Bcoz after doing this change it got fixed for me.
