Mongodb cannot find bean error in its context.xml Spring

Question

I have the following defination of the mongodb-context.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

<!-- Default bean name is 'mongo' -->
<mongo:mongo host="localhost" port="27017" />
<bean id="customermongoTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.document.mongodb.MongoTemplate">
    <constructor-arg ref="mongo" />
    <constructor-arg name="databaseName" value="customerdb" />
    <constructor-arg name="defaultCollectionName" value="customerCollection" />
</bean>
<!-- To translate any MongoExceptions thrown in @Repository annotated classes -->
<context:annotation-config />

The following dependencies

However, I get an error as follows :

Answer 1

That's a different issue, your xml resolves now. I think you must be using org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate

http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/mongodb/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/mongodb/core/MongoTemplate.html

Answer 2

You may want to try removing the explicit version for the XSDs at the top. and make it look something like this

"http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd"
