I m learning from udemy  I followed every step that my instructor show me to do  In spring mvc crud section while setting up the devlopment environment i had the same error for    lt mvc annotation-driven  gt  and  lt tx annotation-driven transaction-manager  myTransactionManager    gt    then i just replaced       http   www springframework org schema mvc spring-mvc xsd    with      http   www springframework org schema mvc spring-mvc-4 2 xsd   and      http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx xsd   with      http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-4 2 xsd   actually i visited 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  So  i suggest to try this  Hope this helps   Thank you

In my case this was actually a symptom of the server  hosted on AWS  lacking an IP for the external network  It would attempt to download namespaces from springframework org and fail to make a connection

One extra forward slash     in front of tx and the   xml file troubled me for 8 hours    My mistake   http   www springframework org schema tx  http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-4 3 xsd   Correction   http   www springframework org schema tx http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-4 3 xsd   Indeed one character less more manages to keep programmers busy for hours

You have some errors in your appcontext xml     Use  -2 5 xsd  xsi schemaLocation  http   www springframework org schema beans    http   www springframework org schema beans spring-beans-2 5 xsd   http   www springframework org schema aop    http   www springframework org schema aop spring-aop-2 5 xsd   http   www springframework org schema context    http   www springframework org schema context spring-context-2 5 xsd   http   www springframework org schema tx    http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-2 5 xsd   Typos in tx annotation-driven and context component-scan    instead of -    lt tx annotation-driven transaction-manager  transactionManager    gt   lt context component-scan base-package  com mmycompany    gt

Make sure that Spring version and xsd version both are same In my case I am using Spring 4 1 1 so my all xsd should be version  -4 1 xsd

User · Answer

This is for others  like me       Don t forget to add the spring tx jar maven dependency  Also correct configuration in appctx is   xmlns tx  http   www springframework org schema tx    xsi schemaLocation  http   www springframework org schema tx http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-3 1 xsd     by mistake wrong configuration which others may have  xmlns tx  http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-3 1 xsd    i e   extra   spring-tx-3 1 xsd   xsi schemaLocation  http   www springframework org schema tx http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-3 1 xsd   in other words what is there in xmlns namespace  should have proper mapping in  schemaLocation  namespace vs schema   namespace here is   http   www springframework org schema tx  schema Doc Of namespace is   http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-3 1 xsd  this schema of namespace later is mapped in jar to locate the path of actual xsd located in org springframework transaction config

User · Answer

For me the thing that worked was the order in which the namespaces were defined in the xsi schemaLocation tag     since the version was all good and also it was transaction-manager already     The error was with     http   www springframework org schema mvc  http   www springframework org schema tx  http   www springframework org schema mvc spring-mvc-3 0 xsd  http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-3 0 xsd    AND RESOLVED WITH    http   www springframework org schema mvc http   www springframework org schema mvc spring-mvc-3 0 xsd http   www springframework org schema tx http   www springframework org schema tx spring-tx-3 0 xsd

User · Answer

FWIW I had this same issue  Turned out my xsi schemaLocation entries were incorrect  so I went to the official docs and pasted theirs into mine   http   docs spring io spring docs current spring-framework-reference html transaction html section 16 5 6  I had to add a couple more but that was ok  Next up is to find out why this fixed the problem
