Question

* strong text *I am having following error while running Java SE +Spring application. I have found similar problem over intenet and this web site but could not find proper solution. I think the problem is missing jar file.

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://ehcache-spring-annotations.googlecode.com/svn/schema/ehcache-spring]
Offending resource: class path resource [Spring-Module.xml]

Answer 1

You are trying to use ehcache-spring-annotations , but I don't see the dependency in your POM.

Try to add :

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.googlecode.ehcache-spring-annotations</groupId>
  <artifactId>ehcache-spring-annotations</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>

BTW, if you want yo use native Spring support for @Cacheable , you don't need this dependency. So just remove

http://ehcache-spring-annotations.googlecode.com/svn/schema/ehcache-spring
http://ehcache-spring-annotations.googlecode.com/svn/schema/ehcache-spring/ehcache-spring-1.1.xsd

from your Spring.xml file.
