I have read that this error could be in reason of Eclipse bug but I am not able to run my small application and it is the only error I can see. Is there anything wrong with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" 
	xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context

	<context:component-scan base:package="tutorial.mvc" />
	<mvc:annotation-driven />
 
	<bean id="jspViewResolver"
		class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
 
		<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
		<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
	</bean>
 
</beans>

maybe it should be this way?

<context:component-scan base-package="test.package" />

watch for the dash instead of colon in base-package

Thread moved.

GregBrannon, what does "Thread moved" mean? Did I post in wrong session?

In a word, Yes.

Don't despair. The forum is configured to dump all requests for help initiated with the "Ask a Question" button in a default location that is not always appropriate, and it's not clear to the person posting the request that this is happening.
