problem with "xmlns must be declared for element type beans" exception

[emc2family]

Hi all,

i'm a newbie here so pls. forgive my missteps. i tried to test a JMS POJO example but got this parse exception instead:

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

i am not sure what i'm missing here, but here is the file:

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

<bean id="requestQueue" class="org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue">
<constructor-arg value="PREADMIT.TO400.QUEUE"/>
</bean>

<bean id="connectionFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFacto ry">
<property name="brokerURL" value="tcp://localhost:61616"/>
</bean>

<!-- this is the Message Driven POJO (MDP) -->
<bean id="messageListener" class="com.hmacorpmis.msglistener.ActiveMQJMSListe ner"/>

<!-- and this is the attendant message listener container -->
<bean id="listenerContainer" class="org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMes sageListenerContainer">
<property name="concurrentConsumers" value="5"/>
<property name="connectionFactory" ref="connectionFactory"/>
<property name="destination" ref="requestQueue"/>
<property name="messageListener" ref="messageListener"/>
</bean>
</beans>



any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

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">

...and that should do the trick.

Hi Mark,

appreciate the response. when i took out the DTD, it then came up with another msg:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element "beans", must match DOCTYPE root "null".

btw, i am using jdk 1.5, and these are the following jars in cp:

activemq-core-4.0.1.jar
geronimo-jms_1.1_spec-1.0.jar
geronimo-j2ee-management_1.0_spec-1.0.jar

thanks.

finally worked! but i found it weird that i had to delete xmlns and schemalocation and replaced both with:

<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd">

there must be something in the schema that's causing the parser to go whacko.

any explanations on this?

[Mark Fisher]

What version of Spring are you using - is it 2.0 final?

[Reid M. Pinchback]

It sounds like the JAXP parser might be something like Crimson instead of Xerces. I'd check the specific release # of the JDK 1.5 installed, might need to be bumped up to one of the more recent update releases.

[emc2family]

i am using spring 2.0 final

regarding jdk 1.5, it looks like it's using xerces. i'll have to check again though if it's an old version.

[Mark Fisher]

For Spring 2.0 final, you need to change the schema reference from "spring-beans.xsd" to "spring-beans-2.0.xsd".

I met with the same problem.I use spring1.2.8,the xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
