Problem using ActiveMQ

[anuapmd]

Hi,
I am trying to use Apache ActiveMQ.

I created a Spring MVC template project and added the following dependency.

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
	<artifactId>activemq-core</artifactId>
	<version>5.7.0</version>
</dependency>

But when all dependencies are loaded and when i run the project i get following errors.

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 4 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/root-context.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element "beans", must match DOCTYPE root "null".

I didn't change any of the codes anywhere. All others are default that the template gives.

Why am i getting this? Where am i wrong?
Please help.
Thanks

This is simply badly-formed XML

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionSt oreException: Line 4 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/root-context.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element "beans",

Double check the syntax in root-context.xml; if you can't figure out what's wrong, post it here.

[anuapmd]

This is the content of root-context.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
	
	<!-- Root Context: defines shared resources visible to all other web components -->
		
</beans>

What can be wrong in the XML ? I didn't change anything in the XML.
When i remove the above dependency, the App runs fine.
