java - context:component-scan" is not bound

Question

Am new to spring and I know this question has been asked many times, but I had to ask it again.

I guess,I have done appropriate namespace declarations, but still facing the error "The prefix "context" for element "context:component-scan" is not bound." There is a similar question here, but I dint get the answer

Here is my xml document, Is it that my namespace is not correct ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">



    <bean id="point1" class="org.sri.proj.Point">
        <property name="x" value="0" />
        <property name="y" value="0" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="point2" class="org.sri.proj.Point">
        <property name="x" value="10" />
        <property name="y" value="10" />
    </bean>

    <context:component-scan base-package="org.sri.proj"/>

</beans>

Answer 1

Add the context namespace declaration to the beans tag definition in the application context file

<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-3.0.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">
