SAX parser error in my persistence.xml file

Question

I am trying to figure out an error in my persistence file and i need your expert guidance in helping me to resolve this. The persistence file looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd" version="2.1">
    <persistence-unit name="ArchiveTicket">
        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
        <non-jta-data-source>jdbc/archiveDbDatasource</non-jta-data-source>

        <class>blah blah</class>
        <class>blah blah</class>
        <class>blah blah</class>
        <class>blah blah</class>
        <class>blah blah</class>
        <class>blah blah</class>
        <class>blah blah</class>
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.query.factory_class" value="org.hibernate.hql.classic.ClassicQueryTranslatorFactory"/>
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

And the error is:

org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 7 in XML document from class path resource [archive-ticket-persistence.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html; lineNumber: 7; columnNumber: 41; s4s-elt-character: Non-whitespace characters are not allowed in schema elements other than 'xs:appinfo' and 'xs:documentation'.

I tried changing the version and all but it was in vain. I am not sure whats wrong here. Any advice on solving this would be helpful. Thanks

I think that what's happening here is that there is no schema at the location http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd, and when the XML parser goes to this location looking for a schema, it gets redirected to an HTML page on the Oracle web site that cannot be parsed as a schema; the schema processor detects the error when it reads some random javascript on the HTML page, and therefore reports an entirely unhelpful error message.

The correct schema location appears to be given here: How to specify JPA 2.1 in persistence.xml?

New error after adding the xmlns from the provided link - `Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence] Offending resource: class path resource [archive-ticket-persistence.xml]` – user9517536248 Aug 16 '15 at 19:42
Can't help you with that one, I'm afraid. – Michael Kay Aug 16 '15 at 22:33
