i get the following error when trying to run my spring 3.1.0 MVC app via Tomcat 7:
The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for
element ‘mvc:annotation-driven’.
Here is my mvc-config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="

http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.1.xsd">
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<!-- the application context definition for the springapp DispatcherServlet -->
<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="index" />
</beans>
And here is my servlet
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

The missing library is spring-webmvc.
Maven dependency :
org.springframework
spring-webmvc
${spring.version}
