importing application context file from jar

[kousik.majumder]

Hi,

I am referencing a bean which is residing in the jar given in the classpath.
So I have imported the .xml file only in my config file. But I am getting the below error.
Please help.

..............
<beans:import resource="classpath:spring/applicationContext-services-.xml" />
.....
<beans:bean id="accntManager" class="com.test.impl.AccountManagerImpl">		
		<beans:property name="localCardManager" ref="localCardMngrRef"/>
	</beans:bean>

Error stacktrace:-

ce [counterJob.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matchi

Pretty clear imho... You haven't declared the beans namespace as root so there is somewhere a <property in your xml file which should be <beansroperty...

[kousik.majumder]

Thanx Marten for your quick response.
Yes. there was a property without a bean.

Actually I am confused what is the difference between these two:
1. beansroperty
2. property

[Marten Deinum]

i suggest reading something about xml and how it works.

if you have defined beans as the root element you don't need to prefix your elements with beans: if you have something als defined as your root namespace (like security for instance) you need to prefix all y our other elements not residing in the root namespace.

OK. Got it.
Thank you.
