jboss eap6.3 vs spring 3.0 CVC-ELT.1: CANNOT FIND THE DECLARATION OF ELEMENT 'BEANS'

[manojmykumar]

I am working on migration project from websphere to jboss 6.3 eap. When i deploy my application on jboss, i am getting Parser exception as below:

18:41:51,567 ERROR [com.silvermoongroup.was.startup.ejb.EagerClassLoaderBean]

(ServerService Thread Pool -- 77) Error when initialising class: Unable to return

nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:

Cannot find the declaration of element 'beans'.

So i changed beans xmlns to DTD like this:

<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-2.5.xsd">

to

<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN 2.0//EN"

"http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd">

and it worked fine, there is no parsing exception as such.

But in one xml having transaction configuration like this:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"

  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd

                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx

                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd">

when i changed it to above mentioned DTD, it throwing exception.

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 12; columnNumber: 15; Document root element "tx:transaction", must match DOCTYPE root "beans".

I want permanent solution for this. Please help, thanks in advance.
