Spring XML Configuration Error:The processing instruction target matching '[xX][mM][lL]' not allowed
I'm working on a Spring application and encountering an error when trying to load my application context from an XML configuration file. The error message is as follows:
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 3 in XML document from class path resource [in/sp/resources/applicationContext.xml] is invalid
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 3; columnNumber: 6; The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.
Here is the relevant part of my applicationContext.xml 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"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<bean class="in.sp.beans.Student" id="stdId">
<property name="rollno" value="101" />
<property name="name" value="Karan" />
<property name="email" value="[email protected]" />
</bean>
</beans>
I've ensured that there are no spaces or characters before the XML declaration, and the file is saved with UTF-8 encoding. The file is located in src/main/resources, and I'm loading it using:
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("in/sp/resources/applicationContext.xml");
I've double-checked the file path and classpath configuration, but the error persists. Could anyone help me identify what might be causing this issue or suggest further troubleshooting steps?
