6.2. Spring Framework
Spring version
Since Apache Camel 2.13, the version of Spring that you can use with Apache Camel must be 3.2 (or later). Spring 3.0.x and 3.1.x are not supported.
New schema location
If you explicitly specify the location of the Spring schema in your Spring configuration files, you must change the schema location to point at the 3.2 Spring schema.
The Spring 3.2 schema is located at the following Web page:
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd
For example, assuming your schema locations are specified in the root
beans
element, you could specify the new Spring schema location as follows:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd">
Spring 3.2 new features
For a summary of the new features in Spring 3.2, see New Features and Enhancements in Spring 3.2.
Using the Spring registry in Apache Camel
Since Apache Camel 2.11, when using Spring's bean registry with Camel, Camel also looks up Spring's ancestor application contexts.
