SEVERE: Context initialization failed and org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException

Question

I new for spring mvc and jdo and I try to learn I got error of

HTTP ERROR 503

Problem accessing /add. Reason:

org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 11 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 11; columnNumber: 28; The prefix "mvc" for element "mvc:annotation-driven" is not bound.

my program of spring mvc is placed here:

please check your context xml. I think you have not defined schema for "mvc".

eg:

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

The problem lies in the file called /WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml

It seems that you have tried to use xml namespaces and you did not define them correctly.

Make sure that if you use an element prefixed with mvc that you have the line with xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" in your namespace declaration like in the above example. You wil also need the schemaLocation like in the example below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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"
       xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd">

    <mvc:interceptors>
    </mvc:interceptors>

</beans>

Following is the schema that I use for spring-mvc applications. I faced the same issue because I had missed out on adding the spring-mvc schema.

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

For more information on the schemas to use refer to this link:
