Cannot locate BeanDefinitionParser for element for

Question

I am brand new to Spring web services and I keep getting this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Cannot locate BeanDefinitionParser for element [annotation-driven]
Offending resource: ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-ws-servlet.xml]

After some digging around, it looks like I most likely have a version mismatch between my schemas and jars but I do not see where (I'm shooting for v3.1).

Here is every Spring jar in my library:

    <context:annotation-config />

</beans>

The error is being thrown in spring-ws-servlet.xml whenever it reads a element. Like I said, I'm brand new to Spring web services and recognize that there is probably an obvious flaw in my setup and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

Answer 1

Solved. Apparently one of my dependencies was bringing in a different version of spring-ws even though it wasn't listed under my referenced libraries. I actually ended up not needing the whole dependency so I simply removed it and now I'm not getting any errors.
