获取org.xml.sax.SAXParseException启动Spring MVC应用程序

Question

I am getting an org.xml.sax.SAXParseException starting my Spring MVC application. I've been Googling like crazy trying to figure this one out. This is what I'm getting in Tomcat 8.0.30.

org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 11 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 11; columnNumber: 72; Document root element "beans", must match DOCTYPE root "xml".

plus a whole bunch more lines

This is my applicationContext.xml. Line 11 ends with spring-mvc-4.3.xsd.

        <property name="username" value="ghscom_root" />
        <property name="password" value="GHSMatadors1986" />
    </bean>
</beans>

This is my pom.xml for Maven. I should maybe point out that I'm a relative newbie to Maven, so if the problem is here that's why.

Answer 1

<!DOCTYPE xml>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    ....

With the <!DOCTYPE xml> You told the XML parser that the root element was going to be <xml> , not <beans> .

Remove the DOCTYPE declaration completely, that is for old-style DTD validation and you are using schemas.

If you were still using DTD validation (I think it's deprecated) the DOCTYPE would be something like

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

but that would be for Spring 2.0, which is ancient.
