Attribute "xmlns" must be declared for element type "beans"

Question

I am new to the spring framework. I am trying out a tutorial that uses the spring @Async annotation.I am receiving this error Line 9 in XML document from class path resource [spring.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 9; columnNumber: 109; Attribute "xmlns" must be declared for element type "beans".

I want to know why this error is happening and how can it be resolved?

My spring.xml file is below

**

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN 2.0//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd">

RegularService.java

package cs;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import cs.MailUtility;

@Service
public class RegularService {

@Autowired
private MailUtility mailUtility ;

public void registerUser(String userName){

System.out.println(" User registration for  "+userName +" complete");

mailUtility.sendMail(userName);

System.out.println(" Registration Complete. Mail will be send after 5 seconds ");
}

}

MailUtility.java

package cs;

import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.Async;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component
public class MailUtility {

@Async
public void sendMail(String name){

System.out.println(" I Will be formatting html mail and sending it  ");

try {
Thread.sleep(5000);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

e.printStackTrace();
}

System.out.println(" Asynchronous method call of send email — Complete ");

}

}

TestService.java

package cs;

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import cs.RegularService;

public class TestService {

public static void main(String args[]){

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {"spring.xml"});

RegularService regService = (RegularService) appContext.getBean("regularService");

regService.registerUser("Skill-Guru");

}

}

Solution

You are mixing the DTD and XSD declarations. Simply remove the line:

<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
