The prefix “context” for element “context:component-scan” is not bound

Question

I am working on spring3 mvc and came up with this error

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The prefix \"context\" for element \"context:component-scan\" is not bound.

Answer 1

Sometime the problem is in forgetting to add namespace. you should do that in the wizard of creating the config file or in the name space tab after it been created. select the proper namespaces, in this case should be context, and save.
