Spring configuration error

Solution 1
Turns out this is because I'm using Hibernate 3 with Spring 1.x which means the DTDs are wrong. Updated the Spring JAR file in the project and that fixed the problem.
Solution 2
You may be using old version of spring.jar. I got this and it got solved when I used the latest spring.jar
Solution 3
Update your spring.jar with latest version

My spring-context file is shown below.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xmlns:jee="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee" xmlns:jms="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jms" xmlns:lang="http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx" xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee/spring-jee.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/jms http://www.springframework.org/schema/jms/spring-jms.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang/spring-lang.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util.xsd"> <bean id="cfaBeanFactory" class="org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext"> <constructor-arg value="classpath:cfa-spring-core.xml" /> </bean> </beans>
When I try to run my application, I get the following error:
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.access.BootstrapException: Unable to initialize group definition.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
