Error: The prefix ' context ' for element ' context:annotation-config ' is ' not ' bound.

Spring enables the annotation scanning mechanism: plus <context:annotation-config/> This quote:

1.The prefix ' context ' for element ' context:annotation-config ' is not bound.

See if Spring head <beans> properties are missing : xmlns:context= "Http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

2. If the report: the matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can being found for element ' Context:annotation-config '.
