Namespace problems: "no declaration can be found for element 'job'"

[volker]

If you are connected to the internet Eclipse will follow the http link to the schema definition, as long as you type it correctly.

It has to be correctly spelled because I'm able to follow this link in Eclipse by clicking ctrl+link. But obviously my Eclipse doesn't follow this link.

Anyway, here is my beans-definition:

<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch"
	xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch/spring-batch-2.0.xsd 
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
		http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd ">

or use the latest Spring IDE (comes with STS from http://www.springsource.com/products/sts) which has the catalog entry defined already

Thanks for this hint. Since I do have the spring extension installed already, I uninstalled it and installed the newest version again. Still the same problem: It seems to point to an old schema and marks all new elements red.

STS also knows the schema location so it can install it in your XML file with one mouse click.

How do I do this?

And how do I create extra catalog entries?

Thanks for your effort!

There is a version mismatch - there were some last minute changes to the Batch schema just before our release, and Spring IDE was released at about the same time. I looked and it seems the latest Spring IDE in STS doesn't have the Spring Batch 2.0.0.RELEASE jars. You can just replace the Batch jars in eclipse/plugins folder, but this should only affect the changes we made between RC3 and RELEASE, which are pretty minimal, so that wouldn't explain your schema validation failures.

You can create catalog entries in Eclipse using the XML editor preferences. Open up the preferences and type "catalog" in the filter. There's a post on this forum somewhere from Dan (DHGarrette) explaining the gorey details. But it shouldn't be necessary now.

The schema installation feature in Spring IDE should be automatically enabled for any Spring XMl file that you register with the Spring Beans Explorer. Just right click on the source text and choose "Configure Namespaces...".

I ran into the same issue and found it had to do with generating an INDEX.LIST file in the jar. When generating the jar with the maven jar plugin, don't use the <index/> option. You can read the following for more information.

I think I am very late in replying. I hope it helps those who reach this forum looking for an answer.

Please make sure you have this on top of your config file.

I think this issue also happens if there is a problem in your internet connection. I was in the middle of some unit testing and I had not changed any of my sping batch configuration files. Then suddenly this error starting happening. I could not understand it, and then I realized that there was in temporary hiccup in my office internet. I tried again after 15 minutes and it worked fine.
