Spring NameSpaces: No version numbers in schema references

No version numbers in schema references

Instead of:

<?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-2.5.xsd">

<!-- <bean/> definitions here -->

</beans>

Use this Config

<?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/> definitions here -->

</beans>

Spring automatically picks the highest version available from the project dependencies (jars). As a project evolves, the Spring version will be updated, we won’t have to maintain all the XML config files to see the new features.
