Shibboleth Developers

[Daniel Mérida <>]

I have compiled Shibboleth IDP source 2.1.5, installed it and when I am 
going to deploy it in Tomcat, I get the following error:

12:44:27.924 [main] ERROR e.i.m.s.c.c.SpringConfigurationUtils - Unable 
to locate NamespaceHandler for namespace

The trace of idp-process.log is the following:

Any idea?
