Spring MVC returning XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException when trying to use mvc:resources or mvc:default-servlet-handler

Question

I just started to study Spring using the 3.0.0 RELEASE version, and when I declare the tag mvc:resources or mvc:default-servlet-handler the server returns the XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException, telling me that it couldn't find the tag's reference.

Does somebody know how to solve this?

Thanks!

Well, after some work I discovered the answer for my question. Inside the header os the spring-context.xml I opened the url link http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc and then selected the spring-mvc-3.0.xsd file, in this case this link .

After use the browser's search for default-servlet-handler , I've found it's declaration in the file, and saw that the class that was needed for this tag was org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.DefaultServletHttpRequestHandler .

I found some references in the web, telling that this class was implemented in the Spring 3.0.5, and I was using 3.0.0. So, I've downloaded the right version of the framework, replaced it in my classpath, and everything worked right.
