Spring frame work config issue "prefix context for for element context:annotation-config is not bound"
java, spring, xml
Solution
I was experiencing the same problem until I realized `beans` tag attribute `xmlns:context` was missing. Just added the below lines
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
...."
Then rebuilt the project.
It worked well then on.
Problem
I am having a weird issue that I can't seem to track down. I have this working with other servers without a problem, but I can't seem to get this one to work. The closest post that I see to my problem was this post The prefix "context" for element "context:component-scan" is not bound All others really were just because the prefix was not in the xml file. I am hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction here. Spring XML file: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:dwr="http://www.directwebremoting.org/schema/spring-dwr" xmlns:mongo="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo-1.0.xsd http://www.directwebremoting.org/schema/spring-dwr http://www.directwebremoting.org/schema/spring-dwr-3.0.xsd"> <context:annotation-config/> ``` So I have that, but getting this error: ``` org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The prefix "context" for element "context:annotation-config" is not bound. ``` Appreciate any help. Let me know what else I can provide. Thanks
