Valldation error from Spring IDE Plugin

[spring04]

I've installed spring IDE plug-in in Eclipse. I add the two config files in my project(applicationContext-hibernate.xml and dataAccess-local.xml) to the Spring IDE Projects.

When i opened the dataAccess-Local.xml file in Eclipse, there's a problem marker but i DON'T see the corresponding error message in the 'Problems' task view. It seems to look correct.

Could someone please point out why i'm NOT seeing the corresponding error message and also what's wrong with this config file?

Thanks!

After reading some posts regarding this problem, i modified my dataAccess-local.xml file as follows: I'm getting exception now. Could someone please let me know what's the problem?

Thanks!

Could someone PLEASE HELP finding out why i'm not seeing error message provided by the Spring-plugin and what's the problem in my spring configuration file?

Thanks!

It complains about the fact that some plain text is child of one of your bean tag.
Can you post the whole file so that we can see which is the line 26 and its environment ?
also, can you use an xml outline view to check which children do your bean tag have ?
