cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'resources'

Question

I am new to spring, i am currently using spring 4

once the war is deployed into JCS-SaaS (cloud) i am getting below error :

org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 33 in XML document from class path resource [pepsiServlet-context.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 33; columnNumber: 62; cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'resources'. One of '{" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans ":import, " http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans ":alias, " http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans ":bean, WC[##other:" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans "], " http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans ":beans}' is expected.

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 33; columnNumber: 62; cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'resources'. One of '{" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans ":import, " http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans ":alias, " http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans ":bean, WC[##other:" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans "], " http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans ":beans}' is expected.

Answer 1

This tag in your file pepsiServlet-context.xml

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

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

Not is correct version or that old, i'm use:

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

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd

than use correct tag with orientation the URL xsd, that case only use bean

Answer 2

I see 2 issues in your XML file:

1. Incorrect closing tag

Your closing tag is not correct , it should rather be:

</beans:beans> (not </beans:bean>)

Because of that your XML document corresponding to pepsiServlet-context.xml is not well-formed so it cannot be parsed.

2. Missing prefix to resources

Your second issue is related to the fact that you forgot to add the prefix mvc to resources which makes your XML file invalid , it should be:

<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />
