I am new at this i am trying to learn but this configuration is taking lot of time really frustrated now , please if you all can help.

Answer 1

xsi:schemaLocation should contain hints to the XML file processor on where to physically obtain the xsd files that will be used to validate the XML. It is filled

with pairs of URI references (one for the namespace name, and one for a hint as to the location of a schema document defining names for that namespace name)

Citation comes from https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#schema-loc

So xsi:schemaLocation should contain pairs <schema-URI, physical-location-URI>. In your case, http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-4.3.xsd is unpaired.

The attribute should look like

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
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/tx 
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-4.3.xsd"

(note that I inserted http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx as the penultimate component).
