my spring-servlet.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>   <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"  xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"  xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"  xsi:schemalocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans  http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd  http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc   http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.1.xsd  http://www.springframework.org/schema/context  http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">  <mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/web-inf/resources/" />   <context:component-scan  base-package="com.arobol.controller" />    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.internalresourceviewresolver">      <property name="prefix" value="/web-inf/jsp/" />        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />     </bean> </beans> 

make sure xml schema of xml file corresponding spring version, spring 3.0 should like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"      xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"      xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"      xsi:schemalocation="       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd       http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd       http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd"> 

the stacktrace issue saying

configuration problem: cannot locate beandefinitionparser element [resources] offending resource: servletcontext resource [/web-inf/spring-servlet.xml]  

appears though you're having mistmatch between jars , included schema

update

better yet, include xsds without version, match schema's schemas you're using in app. like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"      xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"      xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"      xsi:schemalocation="       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd       http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd       http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd">
