org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException

Question

I am doing some tutorial and I got this errors. This tutorial is spring, hibernate, and maven related tutorial. I am attaching the following errors:

Here is the applicationContext-mytutorial.xml file:

<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" 
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/util 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd">

    <bean id="courseService" class="com.mytutorial.CourseServiceImpl" scope="prototype">
        <property name="courseDAO" ref="courseDao" />

    <bean id="courseDao" class="com.mytutorial.CourseDaoImpl" scope="prototype" /> 
</beans>

I would be very appreciated if someone can help me with this.

Answer 1

Your XML is not well-formed, you forgot to close the first bean definition:

<bean id="courseService" class="com.mytutorial.CourseServiceImpl" scope="prototype">
    <property name="courseDAO" ref="courseDao" />
</bean>

Answer 2

In my case , this xml schema works for me

<?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:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
    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 http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">

    <!--  Your code here -->
    <!--  Your code here -->
</beans>

I tried to let Maven help to resolve a project . That is find in term of dependency, However , the XML doesn't quite right. ( for helloworld program with simple dependency injection )
