Cannot find the declaration of element 'beans' Error in in xml file

I'm following the tutorial on https://www.journaldev.com/3524/spring-hibernate-integration-example-tutorial and all I've done is copy and paste yet I'm getting the error below:
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 7 in XML document from class path resource [spring.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 7; columnNumber: 107; cvc-elt.1.a: Cannot find the declaration of element 'beans'.
This is what my XML file looks like up until thee 7th line where the error is referencing to:

Does anyone know what's causing this error? Thanks in advance.
Please let me know if u need any more information to answer this.

Why does the m2e plugin build to a WEB-INF/classes in the target folder for a maven jar project?

Since I am packaging a jar (i.e. Maven jar project), I don't know why m2e insists on setting the Eclipse project's source folder's output to write to target/WEB-INF/classes. I tried changing it to point to build/classes, but as soon as I do a Maven -> Update Project it changes it back.
Why? Am I missing a project level setting?
Update: Added pom.xml

The reason this was happening was because I had this "outputDirectory" tag in the <build> section of the parent pom.
<!-- for hot reload of the web application -->
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/classes
</outputDirectory>
As soon as I removed that, the Maven Update removed "WEB-INF" from the .classpath output directories.

hi friends i try to make smiple web maven project in Spring tool suite but every time when i try to run the project on server there is no option come to run on server..
then i change the java version 1.5 to 1.8 but again its not working..
then i go to the project facet and select the Dynamic web module 3.0 then it show run on server but it also show error in pom.xml file that it dont have web.xml file..
but file is there .i waste my lot of time but still no solution

Add a new server on the Servers tab (Tomcat for example) or choose an existing one, deploy your web application and start the server

maven dependency not support when code is pushed to remote server

I have a web application which I developed on my local system and it works fine in my local system but when I push it to the remote server I get compilation errors (maven dependency problems) does not load my spring frame work in the remote server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Errors at compiling mean that some dependencies are missing. However, they are not when compiling in local. I recommend you execute
mvn dependency:build-classpath -Dmdep.outputFile=cp.txt
on both environments, which will produce a file cp.txt containing the list of libraries used for the compilation classpath. Then, for every library included on it, compare the local version with the remote version. If they are not binary equal, purge the libraries from the remote repository:
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository

Missing artifact javax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B ( Issue was different as you may see the resolution is different)

I am trying to learn Hibernate-Spring-Struts using the example Struts 2 + Spring + Hibernate integration example.
But after creating the pom.xml getting this error :
Missing artifact javax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B
I made a progress only up to creating the pom.xml file and made the changes to include most recent libraries.

I tried with and without dependency for javax.transation. Did not make difference. Can any one tell me what am I doing wrong ? What should I do to get rid of it?

In my case i tried example from mkyong
jsf-2.0 spring hibernate integration example
When i got the exception i searched alot i was using spring sts suit tool , and eclipse MARS with JDK 8 the solution was
I changed pom to 1.1 instead of 1.0.1B
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
<artifactId>jta</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
</dependency>
And if it could not be downloaded automatically from m2 repo you should download it manualy (you can check this in the repo in folder C:\Users\pc1\.m2\repository\javax\transaction\jta\1.1\jta-1.1.jar )
and check the maven dependency in project properties it should not give you an error in the lib tab.

3-Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' Unable to instantiate default tuplizer [org.hibernate.tuple.entity.PojoEntityTuplizer]
Tomcat error: Not Found in ExternalContext as a Resource

The error in your pom.xml because you mess up different versions of Struts core and plugins.
Change
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
<artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>
<version>2.3.15.2</version>
</dependency>
I don't know why do you need JTA 1.0.1B but you could change hibernate to 3.3.2 (at least, without headaches)
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
<version>3.3.2.ga</version>
</dependency>
it has a recommended dependency for JTA 1.1.
Create a new project from pom.xml then add source files to it.

Which repository are you using?
Add the java.net Maven repository as below.
<repository>
<id>java.net</id>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/2/</url>
</repository>

This repo worked for me:
<repository>
<id>webpublico-repository</id>
<name>Webpublico Nexus Repository</name>
<url>http://repository.webpublico.com.br/repository/maven-public/</url>
</repository>

some approach from Unable to resolve javax.transaction dependency
clear the .ivy/cache folder. it works, but takes very long time.

At the moment, it may be unnecessary. But I think we should update this ticket for someone.
It works for me. Change porm.xml
