I had this issue and the root cause turned out to be white-space  shown as dots below  after the www springframework org schema beans reference in xsi schemaLocation  i e    lt beans xmlns  http   www springframework org schema beans  xmlns context  http   www springframework org schema context  xmlns mvc  http   www springframework org schema mvc  xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance  xmlns p  http   www springframework org schema p  xsi schemaLocation   http   www springframework org schema beans     http   www springframework org schema beans spring-beans-4 2 xsd http   www springframework org schema context http   www springframework org schema context spring-context-4 2 xsd http   www springframework org schema mvc http   www springframework org schema mvc spring-mvc-4 2 xsd  gt

This error of Cannot find the declaration of element  beans  but for a whole different reason  It turs out my internet connection was not very reliable  so i decided to check first for this url  http   www springframework org schema context spring-context-4 0 xsd  Once I saw that the xsd was open succesfully I clean the Eclipse IDE  project and the error was gone  If you try this steps and still get the error then check the Spring version so that it matches as mentioned by another answer   lt 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-   MAYOR MINOR    xsd  gt    Replace  MAYOR MINOR  on the last line with whatever major minor  Spring version that you are using  For Spring 4 0 http   www springframework org schema context spring-context-4 0 xsd  For Sprint 3 1 http   www springframework org schema beans  spring-beans-3 1 xsd  All the contexts are available here http   www springframework org schema context

For me the problem was my file encoding   I used powershell to write the xml file and this was not UTF-8     It seems that spring requires UTF8 because as soon as I changed the encoding  using notepad    it works again without any errors  Now i Use in my powershellscript the following line to output the xml file in UTF-8   IO File   WriteAllLines  fname dataloader xml config file   dataloader configfile   instead of using the redirection operator   to create my file  Note  I didn t put any xml parameters in my beans tag and it works

Add this code       It helped me   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt       lt 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 aop  http   www springframework org schema aop            xsi schemaLocation            http   www springframework org schema beans             classpath  org springframework beans factory xml spring-beans-3 0 xsd           http   www springframework org schema context           classpath  org springframework context config spring-context-3 0 xsd         http   www springframework org schema aop          classpath  org springframework aop config spring-aop-3 0 xsd            gt              lt  beans gt

Use this to solve your problem    lt context annotation-config  gt

For me the problem was that spring was not able to download http   www springframework org schema beans spring-beans xsd or http   www springframework org schema context spring-context xsd However I was able to access those from my browser as it was using my machines proxy  So I just copied the content of the two xsds to files named spring-beans xsd and spring-context xsd and replaced the http url with the file names and it worked for me

User · Answer

Found it on another thread that solved my problem    was using an internet connection less network   In that case copy the xsd files from the url and place it next to the beans xml file and change the xsi schemaLocation as under     lt 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  spring-beans-3 1 xsd  gt

Try Using this- Spring 4 0  Working   lt beans xmlns  http   www springframework org schema beans         xmlns p  http   www springframework org schema p         xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance         xmlns context  http   www springframework org schema context          xsi schemaLocation  http   www springframework org schema beans                                               http   www springframework org schema beans spring-beans xsd        http   www springframework org schema context         http   www springframework org schema context spring-context xsd  gt

User · Answer

Try this  assuming you re on Spring 3 1    lt 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 1 xsd  gt    Replace 3 1 on the last line with whatever major Spring version you use  Meaning  there is no 3 1 1 XSD even though there is a Spring version 3 1 1
