Prefix “context” for element “context:component-scan” or “contex

The error "Prefix 'context' for element 'context:component-scan' or 'context:annotation-config' is not bound" typically occurs when the XML configuration file is missing the XML namespace declaration for the 'context' namespace. To resolve this error, you need to add the appropriate namespace declaration to your XML configuration file.

Here's an example of how to add the 'context' namespace declaration to your Spring XML configuration file:

<?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:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
       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">

    <!-- Enable component scanning -->
    <context:component-scan base-package="com.example"/>

    <!-- Additional bean definitions go here -->

</beans>

In this example:

  • The 'context' namespace is declared with the namespace URI http://www.springframework.org/schema/context.
  • The context:component-scan element is used to enable component scanning for the specified base package.
  • The xsi:schemaLocation attribute specifies the locations of the XSD schema files for the declared namespaces.

Make sure to adjust the base-package attribute value in the context:component-scan element to match the package where your Spring components are located.

With this configuration in place, the error should be resolved, and Spring will be able to properly parse the 'context' namespace elements.
