Java Spring: Error message "no declaration can be found for element 'util:constant'

Question

I\'m trying to use util-constant for ioc but I\'m getting the following error message:

cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can          


        

Answer 1

This is the correct declaration of util namespace (don't forget about specifying schemaLocation):

<?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:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
   xsi:schemaLocation="
     http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
     http://www.springframework.org/schema/util  http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-3.1.xsd">


</beans>
