if there else necessary, web.xml or so, kindly let me know. nice. thanks.

your xml looks ok - hard find error in such case. couple of things can do.

make sure there 1 version of xml parser in classpath. possible jdk has version/other parser loaded before parser. check classpath & check schemalocation attribute value exists. try change actual version ( 3.3 or 4.1 in xsd ensure not spring version issue.
