Appendix
Version 5.0.2.RELEASE
Chapter 1. XML Schemas
This part of the appendix lists XML schemas for data access.
1.1. The tx schema
The tx tags deal with configuring all of those beans in Spring’s comprehensive support for
transactions. These tags are covered in the chapter entitled Transaction Management.
You are strongly encouraged to look at the 'spring-tx.xsd' file that ships with the
Spring distribution. This file is (of course), the XML Schema for Spring’s
transaction configuration, and covers all of the various tags in the tx namespace,
including attribute defaults and suchlike. This file is documented inline, and thus
the information is not repeated here in the interests of adhering to the DRY (Don’t
Repeat Yourself) principle.
In the interest of completeness, to use the tags in the tx schema, you need to have the following
preamble at the top of your Spring XML configuration file; the text in the following snippet
references the correct schema so that the tags in the tx namespace are available to you.

Often when using the tags in the tx namespace you will also be using the tags from
the aop namespace (since the declarative transaction support in Spring is
implemented using AOP). The above XML snippet contains the relevant lines
needed to reference the aop schema so that the tags in the aop namespace are
available to you.
1.2. The jdbc schema
The jdbc tags allow you to quickly configure an embedded database or initialize an existing data
source. These tags are documented in Embedded database support and Initializing a DataSource
1
respectively.
To use the tags in the jdbc schema, you need to have the following preamble at the top of your
Spring XML configuration file; the text in the following snippet references the correct schema so
that the tags in the jdbc namespace are available to you.
