I had this problem  For posterity  my exception was   org xml sax SAXParseException  lineNumber  7  columnNumber  117  schema reference 4  Failed to read schema document  http   www springframework org schema beans spring-beans-4 2 xsd    I solved it when I realised the the version of spring-beans specified in my Maven pom xml was 4 1 x  thus meaning the specific  xsd could not be found on the classpath   This was masked for a long time because I normally am online  so I thought being offline had  broken  the build  But it really had nothing to do with it  Updating my pom xml to specify the correct version of spring-beans  namely 4 2 x  fixed it

There is no need to use the classpath  protocol in your schemaLocation URL if the namespace is configured correctly and the XSD file is on your classpath   Spring doc  Registering the handler and the schema  shows how it should be done    In your case  the problem was probably that the spring-context jar on your classpath was not 2 1  That was why changing the protocol to classpath  and putting the specific 2 1 XSD in your classpath fixed the problem    From what I ve seen  there are 2 schemas defined for the main XSD contained in a spring-  jar  Once to resolve the schema URL with the version and once without it   As an example see this part of the spring schemas contents in spring-context-3 0 5 RELEASE jar   http    www springframework org schema context spring-context-2 5 xsd org springframework context config spring-context-2 5 xsd http    www springframework org schema context spring-context-3 0 xsd org springframework context config spring-context-3 0 xsd http    www springframework org schema context spring-context xsd org springframework context config spring-context-3 0 xsd   This means that  in xsi schemaLocation    http   www springframework org schema context spring-context-2 5 xsd    will be validated against   org springframework context config spring-context-2 5 xsd    in the classpath    http   www springframework org schema context spring-context-3 0 xsd    or  http   www springframework org schema context spring-context xsd   will be validated against  org springframework context config spring-context-3 0 xsd    in the classpath   http   www springframework org schema context spring-context-2 1 xsd   is not defined so Spring will look for it using the literal URL defined in schemaLocation

Ran into a similar issue today   In my case  it was the shade plugin that was the culprit  in addition to springframework org having an outage   The following snippet cleared things up    lt transformer implementation  org apache maven plugins shade resource AppendingTransformer  gt      lt resource gt META-INF spring schemas lt  resource gt   lt  transformer gt   lt transformer implementation  org apache maven plugins shade resource AppendingTransformer  gt       lt resource gt META-INF spring handlers lt  resource gt   lt  transformer gt    HTH someone

The problem lies in the JAR files that you use in your application   What I did  which worked  was to get inside the JARs for SPRING-CORE  SPRING-BEANS  SPRING-CONTEXT  SPRING-TX that match the version I am using  Within the META-INF folder  I concatenated all the spring handlers and spring schemas that come in those JARs   I killed two birds with one stone  I solved the problem of the schemas so this also works correctly in offline mode   P S  I tried the maven plugin for SHADE and the transformers but that did not work

I had ran into this similar problem as well  In my case  my resolution is quite different  Here s my spring context xml file        lt beans xmlns  http   www springframework org schema beans  xmlns context  http   www springframework org schema context  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 xsd      http   www springframework org schema context      http   www springframework org schema context spring-context xsd  gt        I m not specifying any xsd version as I want spring to use the latest xsd version inside spring dependencies  The spring version my application used was spring-beans-4 3 1 RELEASE jar 4 3 1 RELEASE and when I assembly my application into jar  all spring dependencies exist in my classpath  However  I received following error during startup of my spring application context   org xml sax SAXParseException  schema reference 4  Failed to read schema document  http   www springframework org schema beans spring-beans xsd   because 1  could not find the document  2  the document could not be read  3  the root element of the document is not  lt xsd schema gt     After some hard time troubleshooting  I found the issue is due to the index list inside the META-INF folder of my jar file  With index list file  spring namespace handlers cannot be located to parse the spring application context xml correctly  You can read more about this spring issue SPR-5705  By removing indexing from my maven-jar-plugin  I manage to resolve the issue  Hope this will save some times for people having the same problem

If there is no internet connection in your platform and you use Eclipse  follow these steps  it solves my problem    Find the exact xsd files  You can unzip these files from their jars  For example  spring-beans-x y xsd in spring-beans-x y z RELEASE jar   Add these xsd files to Eclipse XML Catalog   Preferences- XML- XML Catalog  Add files  Add these files location to configuration file   Be careful  write the exact version of file     Example      xsi schemaLocation   http   www springframework org schema beans   http   www springframework org schema beans spring-beans-x y xsd

If you are using eclipse for your development   it helps if you install STS plugin for Eclipse   from the marketPlace for the specific version of eclipse     Now When you try to create a new configuration file in a folder normally resources  inside the project   the options would have a  Spring Folder  and you can choose a  Spring Bean Definition File   option   Spring   Spring Bean Configuation File     With this option selected   when you follow steps   it asks you to select for namespaces and the specific versions    And so the possibility of having a non-existent jar Or old version can be eliminated     Would have posted images as well   but my reputation is pretty low

Just make sure the relevant spring jar file are in your runtime classpath  In my case this we were missing spring-tx-4 3 4 RELEASE jar from runtime classpath  After adding this jar  the issue was resolved

I would like to add some additional aspect of this discussion  In windows OS I have observed that when a jar file containing schema is stored in a directory whose path contains a space character  for instance like in the following example   c  Program Files myApp spring-beans-4 0 2 RELEASE jar    then specifying schema location URL in the following way is not sufficient when you are developing some standalone application that should work also offline    lt beans  xsi schemaLocation      http   www springframework org schema beans org springframework beans factory xml spring-beans-2 0 xsd        gt    I have learned that result of such schema location URL resolution is a file which has a path like the following     c  Program 20Files myApp spring-beans-4 0 2 RELEASE jar    When I started my application from some other directory which didn t contain space character on its path then schema location resolution worked fine  Maybe somebody faced similar problems  Nevertheless I discoverd that classpath protocol works fine in my case   lt beans  xsi schemaLocation      http   www springframework org schema beans classpath org springframework beans factory xml spring-beans-2 0 xsd        gt

I had the same problem when I m using spring-context version 4 0 6 and  spring-security version 4 1 0   When changing spring-security version to 4 0 4  because 4 0 6 of spring-security not available  in my pom and security xml-- schemaLocation  it gets compiled without internet   So that mean you can also solve this by    changing spring-security to a older or same version than  spring-context  changing spring-context to a newer or same version than  spring-security     any way spring-context to be newer or same version to spring-security

You should check that the spring handlers and spring schemas files are on the classpath and have the right content   This can be done with ClassLoader getResource      You can run the method with a remote debugger in the runtime environment  The extensible XML authoring setup is described in the Spring Reference B 5  Registering the handler and the schema    Normally  the files should be in the spring jar  springframework jar META-INF   and on the classpath when Spring can be initiated

You need to add schema locations to your bean definition  and then they can be found in classpath instead of fetched over the net  Given your formatting problems  I m not 100  sure that you aren t doing this already    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      xsi schemaLocation  http   www springframework org schema beans http   www springframework org schema beans spring-beans-2 0 xsd     http   www springframework org schema context http   www springframework org schema context spring-context-2 5 xsd  gt   lt  -- empty  the beans we use are in the base class s context  -- gt   lt  beans gt

Find class path  If you are using eclipse click on corresponding jar file  Goto - META-INF-  open file spring schemas  you will see the lines something like below   http   www springframework org schema context spring-context xsd org springframework context config spring-context-3 1 xsd  copy after     and configure beans something like below    lt beans xmlns  http   www springframework org schema beans          xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance          xmlns util  http   www springframework org schema util         xmlns rabbit  http   www springframework org schema rabbit          xmlns context  http   www springframework org schema context          xsi schemaLocation  http   www springframework org schema rabbit classpath org springframework amqp rabbit config spring-rabbit-1 1 xsd         http   www springframework org schema beans classpath org springframework beans factory xml spring-beans-3 1 xsd         http   www springframework org schema context classpath org springframework context config spring-context-3 1 xsd         http   www springframework org schema util classpath org springframework beans factory xml spring-util-3 1 xsd  gt
