org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from ServletContext resource

Question

I'm new to spring mvc 3 and hibernate 3. i need some clarification for the following issue.I'm locked with this issue, so that i can't proceed to next step.

This is my dispatch-servlet.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


    <context:component-scan base-package="net.example"/>
    <tx:annotation-driven/>
    <!--
    Most controllers will use the ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping above, but
    for the index controller we are using ParameterizableViewController, so we must
    define an explicit mapping for it.
    -->

    <bean id="viewResolver"
          class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
          p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/"
          p:suffix=".jsp" />

</beans>  

In that once i include this line i got the following error, i tried to solve but nothing will happened.

i'm using spring 3.0.2 RELEASE version. and also included spring-tx.3.0.2.RELEASE.jar in my library(i'm using netbeans 7.0)

Answer 1

You're probably missing the spring-tx.XXX.jar or org.springframework.transaction.XXX.jar from your classpath.

Answer 2

Using this:

 <tx:annotation-driven/>

requires this in your classpath (and perhaps others):

org.springframework.transaction-3.1.0.M2.jar
