Question

I am trying to do Configuring Web Flow for use with JSF. from the following site

http://static.springsource.org/spring-webflow/docs/2.3.x/reference/html/ch13s04.html

but I am getting the following error:

Description Resource    Path    Location    Type
The prefix "si" for attribute "si:schemaLocation" associated with an element type "beans" is not bound. flowwithjsf.xml /WebFlowWithJSFIntegration/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring   line 12 XML Problem

Here is my XML it looks just like the site:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    </webflow:flow-registry>

    <!-- Configures the Spring Web Flow JSF integration -->
    <faces:flow-builder-services id="flowBuilderServices" />

    <!-- A listener maintain one FacesContext instance per Web Flow request. -->
    <bean id="facesContextListener" 
        class="org.springframework.faces.webflow.FlowFacesContextLifecycleListener" />  

</beans>

try changing si:schemaLocation="... by xsi:schemaLocation="...
I think that is why you are having this error
