Question

I got a problem with my spring configuration when I run it in jetty. I used the exact same file in tomcat without any problems. The error i get is the following.

org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 6 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/web-application-context.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: s4s-elt-character: Non-whitespace characters are not allowed in schema elements other than 'xs:appinfo' and 'xs:documentation'. Saw 'SpringSource.org | '.
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: s4s-elt-character: Non-whitespace characters are not allowed in schema elements other than 'xs:appinfo' and 'xs:documentation'. Saw 'SpringSource.org | '.

My schema looks like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.5.xsd">

I have no idea what can be wrong. Have tested it with 2 different configurations and both gave this error.

Answer 1

Obviously you can not have a newline character inside XML attribute.

Put xsi:schemaLocation attribute value all inside one line.
