Question

I have my Spring Configuration as follows:

<?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:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.1.xsd
                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.1.xsd">

This works fine when the server is connected to the internet. However, if the access is revoked, the following error happens:

org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 2 in XML document from class path resource [spring/applicationContext-service-webapp.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Open quote is expected for attribute “{1}” associated with an element type “http-equiv”.

Any idea why?

Answer 1

It seems that some different version of one of the included schemas are being loaded or the schema is not accessible/loaded at all.

Excluding the duplicated artifact in your pom file will resolve the problem.
