Cannot find the declaration of element 'beans'. when running executable

I am having some issues with a Spring configuration file. When attempting to use it, I get the message:
org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException:
Line 8 in XML document from file
[C:\WORK\Software\SOAPUI\extract-rest-with-crud\productws\target\classes\WEB-INF\dbcontext.xml]
is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;
lineNumber: 8; columnNumber: 74; cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the
declaration of element 'beans'.
Below is the Spring configuration file. What exactly is the problem?
TIA

JPA - Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/jpa]

New to Hibernate and Spring. So I copied and pasted some configurations online and did the rest myself.
However when I try to start my Jetty server I am getting a Spring error.

Replace the url in the beans tag

with

Hibernate 4 + Spring : org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException

I'm currently working on some implementation with Hibernate4, Spring and JPA, but I'm having some troubles regarding the creation of my Bean.
In the application, we are using one SQL Server database with their respective configurations (C3p0 class, dataSource, *hibernate.cfg.xml and applicationContext) and It works.
But when I tried to configure another database (PostgreSQL) and test it with JUnit, it seems that is not able to create the new connection to the PostgreSQL database.
But I verified the access and they work in a external dbview program. Please consider the following:
Stacktrace:

<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>
<import resource="classpath:/config/hibernate.cfg.xml" />

and finally I'm using the following headers to load the applicationContext.xml:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(locations="classpath:/config/applicationContext.xml")
#Transactional
public class UnitTest(){

}
Is it possible that the application cannot handle multiple connections (datasources)? Or Is there another way to make it works?

Change your hibernate.cfg.xml as below:

Hibernate SessionFactory Mappings is not reloaded

It works fine until I add one more XML mapping file as follows:
<property name="mappingResources">
<list>
<value>mappings/File1.hbm.xml</value>
<value>mappings/File2.hbm.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
The added mapping "File2.hbm.xml" is not affected at all. I even try to set the class in "File2.hbm.xml" with an invalid name but there is no error shown in Hibernate (When I do that in "File1.hbm.xml", there is exception).
Could you tell me why the mapping "File2.hbm.xml" is not affected? I use Eclipse and Tomcat, does it cache some where. I already tried to clean Tomcat and restart my PC but it does not help.
Thank you in advance!

The problem is Tomcat cached the old config file. After cleaning (Server -> Clean Tomcat Work Directory), the new file takes effect.

Why am I getting an error while working with two datasources in Spring MVC?

I am using #Autowired in my controllers/models. So it makes sense that it doesn't know which bean to use to autowire. But how do I solve this?
Thanks

<bean id="sessionFactoryDB2" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="db2DataSource" ref="db2DataSource" />
<property name="annotatedClasses">
I don't think there is a property named db2DataSource in AnnotationSessionFactoryBean. That may be one of the reason it is failing. It should be <property name="dataSource" ref="db2DataSource" /> instead.

I think problem does not exist with your dataSources. To autowire service classes you need to use #Service(preferred for service layer classes) stereotype annotation.
You also need to scan these annotated classes using component scan which I didn't see in your posted xml.
<context:component-scan base-package="com.example, com.example.model.service" />
