Spring “The prefix “tx” for element “tx:annotation-driven” is not bound.”

I’m getting the error above on my “tx:annotation-driven” line, but I’ve declared the namespace at the top of the beans file, why is the following XML causing this error?

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Just like your other xmlns: definations, you need one for xmlns:tx

xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
