The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'tx:annotation-driven'

Question

I am trying to configure JSF+Spring+hibernate and I\'m tying to run a test but when I use this \"tx:annotation-driven\" on my application-context.xml file, I get this error:

Answer 1

This is for others (like me :) ). Don't forget to add the spring tx jar/maven dependency. Also correct configuration in appctx is:

xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.1.xsd"

, by mistake wrong configuration which others may have

xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.1.xsd"

i.e., extra "/spring-tx-3.1.xsd"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.1.xsd"

in other words what is there in xmlns(namespace) should have proper mapping in schemaLocation (namespace vs schema).

namespace here is : http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx

schema Doc Of namespace is : http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.1.xsd

this schema of namespace later is mapped in jar to locate the path of actual xsd located in org.springframework.transaction.config

Answer 3

In my case this was actually a symptom of the server, hosted on AWS, lacking an IP for the external network. It would attempt to download namespaces from springframework.org and fail to make a connection.
