UPDATE:

i modify my beam like this and work (i added conf. for pooling but is not important):

<!-- LDAP config -->

    <bean id="contextSourceTarget" class="org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapContextSource">
        <property name="url" value="${ldap.url}" />
        <property name="base" value="${ldap.base}" />
        <property name="userDn" value="${ldap.userDn}" />
        <property name="password" value="${ldap.password}" />
        <property name="pooled" value="false" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="contextSource"
        class="org.springframework.ldap.pool.factory.PoolingContextSource">
        <property name="contextSource" ref="contextSourceTarget" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="ldapTemplate" class="org.springframework.ldap.core.LdapTemplate">
        <constructor-arg ref="contextSource" />
    </bean>

I guess it's because Pivotal's site is displaying captcha before showing the actual XSD,

see Spring schemaLocation fails when there is no internet connection

It depends on whether you get the error in the IDE or in the runtime.

If it's a specialized XML editor you should refer to the documentation of your editor on how to override/specify schema location, if it's in the runtime likely you have to check your project dependencies(pom.xml if it's a maven project).

Spring uses its own mechanism to get the XSD in classpath library (runtime).

Uses following files

1. META-INF/spring.handlers (to parse tag xml to object by an Handler)

example of spring-core-3.2.2.jar

http://www.springframework.org/schema/c=org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.SimpleConstructorNamespaceHandler http://www.springframework.org/schema/p=org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.SimplePropertyNamespaceHandler http://www.springframework.org/schema/util=org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.UtilNamespaceHandler

2. META-INF/spring.schemas (to identify the correct xsd used)

example of spring-core-3.2.2.jar

http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-beans-2.5.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-beans-3.1.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-beans-3.2.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-beans-3.2.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool/spring-tool-2.0.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-tool-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool/spring-tool-2.5.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-tool-2.5.xsd http://www.springf ramework.org/schema/tool/spring-tool-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-tool-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool/spring-tool-3.1.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-tool-3.1.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool/spring-tool-3.2.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-tool-3.2.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tool/spring-tool.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-tool-3.2.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-util-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.5.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-util-2.5.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-3.0.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-util-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-3.1.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-util-3.1.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util -3.2.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-util-3.2.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util.xsd=org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/spring-util-3.2.xsd

The IDE want resolve the location of the XSD by schemaLocation, for this reason I suggest to remove XSD validation on your Eclipse.

Windows->Preferences->Validation-> "Suspend all validators"
