解决方法：

 

加上

<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<beans>

 

 

去掉

<beans
 xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beanshttp://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd">

 

 

错误原因分析：

 

spring1.X使用DOCTYPE，而2.X版本使用schema。我们使用低版本的spring就要配置文件使用dtd解析方式，使用高版本的就要使用xsl解析方式。
