Check my custom model::

<!– Definition of new Model –> 

<!– The important part here is the name - Note: the use of the my: namespace 
which is defined further on in the document –>

<!– Optional meta-data about the model –>

I have doubt about namespace uri.. is that correct???

Here is my example-model-context.xml…

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> 
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
