3.2. Spring Framework

Spring version

Since Apache Camel 2.12, the version of Spring that you can use with Apache Camel must be 3.1 (or later). Spring 3.0.x is 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 3.1 Spring schema.
The Spring 3.1 schema is located at the following Web page: 
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.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-3.1.xsd">

Spring 3.1 new features

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.
