Re: [Springframework-developer] Heads-up! DTD Location has now changed for Spring 2.0

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Perhaps it's not clear from my email below, but this applies to Spring 
CVS. If you are using Spring 2.0 RC3 or earlier, you should generally 
continue to use the old form, otherwise your version of Spring will not 
be able to resolve the new form locally, and the XML parser will always 
hit the internet for the DTD!
