Hi, I am trying to load an XML file consisting of elasticsearch properties. In the jave spring web application, I am trying to load the xml file using the below line - ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml"); applicationContext.xml is located under src/main/reosurces. Below errors I am getting when I run the application from UI. org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from class path resource [applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlReaderContext.getEnvironment()Lorg/springframework/core/env/Environment; Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlReaderContext.getEnvironment()Lorg/springframework/core/env/Environment; Can anyone please suggest on this. Thanks in advance... ---

Wrong mailing list I guess. Not related to elasticsearch here. ---

Yes this is related to spring framework, but I get the error in my XML also when I add the following line - xmlns:elasticsearch="[http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/elasticsearch](http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/elasticsearch)" \ Error occured processing XML 'org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlReaderContext.getEnvironment()Lorg/springframework/ core/env/Environment;'. could you please suggest. ---

One more line is missing in my previous message. This is the line where we get error. \ ---

Sorry, I was trying to send one line containing \<\> brackets, it is not posted. Therefore, I had to post so many times. I removed the brackets and posting it. elasticsearch:repositories base-package="com.pn.daos.elasticsearch.report" ---

It's because you are not formatting your code before posting. ```auto ``` Works well... ---

Here probably your `applicationContext.xml` is wrong or you are missing some libs or you are using an incompatible version of Spring... Well. Hard to know without details. ---

I am using spring-data-elasticsearch-1.3.2.RELEASE.jar spring-data-commons-1.11.2.RELEASE.jar And all other spring jars like spring-beans, spring-context, spring-core, ...etc of 4.0.2 version. Are these versions compatible with spring-data-elasticsearch ? ---

I don't know. I'd try to locate where class `org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlReaderContext` lives and if the method `getEnvironment()` method exists in this jar. But I think you'd better ask this in Spring forums. ---
