I get this error when I run a certain Spring Web 3 project in NetBeans:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 11; columnNumber: 30; The prefix "mvc" for element "mvc:annotation-driven" is not bound.
Here's dispatcher-servlet.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/"
p:suffix=".jsp" />
</beans>
I think I did the appropriate namespace declarations, but obviously I'm still overlooking something. Why am I getting this error?
mvc:annotation-driven is a tag added in Spring 3.0 which does the following: Configures the Spring 3 Type ConversionService (alternative to PropertyEditors) Adds support for formatting Number fields with @NumberFormat.
mvc:annotation-driven is used for enabling the Spring MVC components with its default configurations. If you dont include mvc:annotation-driven also your MVC application would work if you have used the context:component-scan for creating the beans or defined the beans in your XML file.
This is an IDE Error, Which can be resolved by following to
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
try this it worked for me:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
