Cannot locate BeanDefinitionParser for element for Spring web services

Question

I am brand new to Spring web services and I keep getting this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Cannot locate BeanDefinitionParser for element [annotation-driven]
Offending resource: ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-ws-servlet.xml]

After some digging around, it looks like I most likely have a version mismatch between my schemas and jars but I do not see where (I'm shooting for v3.1).

Here is every Spring jar in my library:

    <context:annotation-config />

</beans>

The error is being thrown in spring-ws-servlet.xml whenever it reads a element. Like I said, I'm brand new to Spring web services and recognize that there is probably an obvious flaw in my setup and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

Solution

Solved. Apparently one of my dependencies was bringing in a different version of spring-ws even though it wasn't listed under my referenced libraries. I actually ended up not needing the whole dependency so I simply removed it and now I'm not getting any errors.

Do you know which dependency it was? I have read your question yesterday (before your answer) and the only thing I could come up with on google was something similar.

[lancex]

Well, the dependency I removed was one written by my company so I can't really say for sure. I'm assuming since I still have some 3.0 spring jars in my library that it was just an older version of spring-ws.

Ok, I was just curious (-: Thanks!
