Cannot find the declaration of element 'bean'

[Anand Loni]

Hi Ranchers,

I am getting exception when I deploy my application

Substituted for the exception org.xml.sax.SAXParseException which lacks a String contructor, original message - cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'bean'.

here is my applicationContext.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" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
	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
	 http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-aop.xsd">

	 <import resource="applicationContext-hibernate.xml"/>
	 <import resource="applicationContext-database.xml"/>
	<import resource="applicationContext-service.xml"/>
	
</beans>

Any idea what went wrong ??

Are the imported files complete XML files?
