Loading util:properties with Spring Profile causes multiple occurrences of ID

Question

I am using Spring(3.1) profiles to load property files vis util:properties:

Answer 1

Make sure your xsd declarations are using >= 3.1 versions for both beans and util namespaces:

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  ">

Most likely cause of error would be forgetting to set util declaration to 3.1, if as you say this works for other beans but not those declared using util.
