Problem with <util:map - Invalid nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException

[Mat Anthony]

Hi All,
for a detected device I would like to use an appropriate xsl file.
To do this I have created a DeviceDisplayDetector object I have attempted to inject in
deviceDisplayTypes so that I can get at the associated xsl for the device that has made a request.

The configuration code within my applicationContext.xml is as follows:-

<bean id="deviceDetector" class="my.DeviceDisplayDetector">
<property name="deviceDisplayTypes"><ref bean="deviceDisplayTypes"/></property>
</bean>

<!-- Setup PC specific attributes -->
<util:map id="deviceDisplayTypes" map-class="java.util.HashMap">
<property name="PC"><ref bean="pcDeviceAttrib"/></property>
<property name="MOBILE"><ref bean="mobileDeviceAttrib"/></property>
</util:map>

<util:map id="pcDeviceAttrib" map-class="java.util.HashMap">
<entry key="my.vo.FootBallImageVO" value="PC_FootBallImageVO.xsl"/>
<entry key="my.ce.TennisImageVO" value="PC_TennisImageVO.xsl"/>
</util:map>

<util:map id="mobileDeviceAttrib" map-class="java.util.HashMap">
<entry key="my.vo.FootBallImageVO" value="MOBILE_FootBallImageVO.xsl"/>
<entry key="my.ce.TennisImageVO" value="MOBILE_TennisImageVO.xsl"/>
</util:map>

I keep getting the following error:-
applicationContext.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
<Line 96, Column 12>: XML-20148: (Error) Invalid element 'util:map' in content of 'beans', expected elements '[import, alias, bean]'.

Any ideas

Can a bean ref a util:map as in my example, or can anybody suggest a better way.

[Mat Anthony]

Can some kind person help me with this problem

What's the namespace definition of your beans XML look like? Have you defined the "util" namespace?

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the reply.

I just looked inside my applicationContext.xml and have noticed, that I just have the following defined:-

file:applicationContext.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD//BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
<beans>

<bean id="deviceDetector" class="my.DeviceDisplayDetector">
<property name="deviceDisplayTypes"><ref bean="deviceDisplayTypes"/></property>
</bean>

<!-- Setup PC specific attributes -->
<util:map id="deviceDisplayTypes" map-class="java.util.HashMap">
<property name="PC"><ref bean="pcDeviceAttrib"/></property>
<property name="MOBILE"><ref bean="mobileDeviceAttrib"/></property>
</util:map>

<util:map id="pcDeviceAttrib" map-class="java.util.HashMap">
<entry key="my.vo.FootBallImageVO" value="PC_FootBallImageVO.xsl"/>
<entry key="my.ce.TennisImageVO" value="PC_TennisImageVO.xsl"/>
</util:map>

<util:map id="mobileDeviceAttrib" map-class="java.util.HashMap">
<entry key="my.vo.FootBallImageVO" value="MOBILE_FootBallImageVO.xsl"/>
<entry key="my.ce.TennisImageVO" value="MOBILE_TennisImageVO.xsl"/>
</util:map>

</beans>


Do I need to include the following as well :-

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd">

Hi Nathan,
thanks for the reply, I just added:-

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd">

and it seems to work fine
