I have enroled for spring course on udemy. I followed every step that my instructor show me to do. So if you are using spring mvc and hibernate you may encounter this error Failed to read schema document 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd' etc for:

 and  elements

in my spring configuration file i had these two urls

    http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd

    http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd

in xsi:schemaLocation, which i replaced with

    http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-4.2.xsd

    http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx 
    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, in my opinion specifying version no explicitly is a good practice. It worked for me, hope this works for you too. Thank you.
