Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www

[Diana Bianco]

Hi so I've been trying to write an admin space screen using the servlet method. the tutorial can be found here at this link https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/writing-a-space-admin-screen/ 

I'm running spring scanner version 2.0.0 and confluence version 7.5.2

However my plugin won't enable.

in my atlassian-confluence.log it says the following:

2020-08-25 12:53:35,304 ERROR [ThreadPoolAsyncTaskExecutor::Thread 28] [internal.dependencies.startup.DependencyWaiterApplicationContextExecutor] fail Unable to create application context for [com.atlassian.yay5.servletonly5], unsatisfied dependencies: none

Hi,

Did you resolve this. I was happily running and testing my plugin, then out of the blue I started to get the same error, I made no changes to the pom or the plugin-conext.xml file.

I have had this working for many years and today it just started to fail, I have no idea why???

Talk about frustrating....
