Error in spring application context schema

Question

I have a maven-spring project in Eclipse and I have this annoying error message in one of my spring contexts:

Referenced file contains errors (jar:fil

Answer 1

I removed this error by updating the version number in

  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd 

to 4.3 as I had upadated spring version in pom as 4.3.7.RELEASE

Answer 2

I recently had a similar problem in latest Eclipse (Kepler) and fixed it by disabling the option "Honour all XML schema locations" in Preferences > XML > XML Files > Validation. It disables validation for references to the same namespaces that point to different schema locations, only taking the first found generally in the XML file being validated. This option comes from the Xerces library.

Answer 3

This happen to me after upgrade eclipse version. What works for me was clean the eclipse cache. Go to Window > Preferences > Network Connection > Cache > Remove All.

I hope this works for anyone!

Answer 4

use this:

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-4.0.xsd"

Answer 5

I have solved it by doing 3 things:

1. Added this repository to my POM:

   <repository>
       <id>spring-milestone</id>
       <name>Spring Maven MILESTONE Repository</name>
       <url>http://repo.springsource.org/libs-milestone</url>
   </repository>
   

2. I'm using this version of spring-jpa:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
       <artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId>
       <version>1.2.0.RELEASE</version>
   </dependency>
   

3. I removed the xsd versions from my context (although I'm not sure it is necessary):

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
     xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jdbc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc"
     xmlns:jpa="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
     xsi:schemaLocation="
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa/spring-jpa.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc/spring-jdbc.xsd">
   

I hope this helps.

Sometimes the spring config xml file works not well on next eclipse open up.

It shows error in the xml file caused by schema definition, no matter reopen eclipse or clean up project are both not working.

But try this!

Right click on the spring config xml file, and select validate.

After a while, the error disappears and eclipse tells you there is no error on this file.

What a joke...
