[FIXED] Apache Camel Spring configuration error - Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring]

Issue

I've posted an excerpt from my spring.xml file and the stack trace I'm getting.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:lang="http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang"
    xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd

    default-init-method="init" default-lazy-init="false">

    <!-- import web service configuration -->
    <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" />
    <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" />
    <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" />

    <camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
        <package>com.testdomain.testpackage</package>
    </camelContext>
...
</beans>

Which throws this exception:

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

Can somebody please help where the issue is?

Solution

For Camel versions < 3.8, add camel-spring.jar to your project. For versions after 3.8 add camel-spring-xml as well.

Using the spring xml dsl has been split off
