Since you have your namespace with prefix beans xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans", you need to use to resolve the error. if you declare your namespace to be like this, xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans", then you don't need to define beans everywhere. Hope this helps.
