title: Spring 3.0 Error: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element
body: <p>I'm quite new to the Spring framework so forgive me if this is a simple question or a rookie mistake. My problem is that when I try to compile and deploy my project that I get an error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'context:spring-configured'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My dispatcher xml file contains the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;

  &lt;bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping"/&gt;
  
  &lt;!--
  Most controllers will use the ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping above, but
  for the index controller we are using ParameterizableViewController, so we must
  define an explicit mapping for it.
  --&gt;
  &lt;bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping"&gt;
      &lt;property name="mappings"&gt;
          &lt;props&gt;
              &lt;prop key="index.htm"&gt;indexController&lt;/prop&gt;
              &lt;prop key="main.htm"&gt;mainViewController&lt;/prop&gt;
          &lt;/props&gt;
      &lt;/property&gt;
  &lt;/bean&gt;
  
  &lt;bean id="viewResolver"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
        p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/"
        p:suffix=".jsp" /&gt;
  
  &lt;!--
  The index controller.
  --&gt;
  &lt;bean name="indexController"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ParameterizableViewController"
        p:viewName="index" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>I can't seem to figure out why it's throwing the No Declaration found error. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated</p>
