java - Can <beans> have a definition of <bean> inside when being used with profile? -

i getting error when deploying web application on weblogic server.

:org.xml.sax.saxparseexception:cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: invalid content found starting element 'beans'. 1 of '{"http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans":description, "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans":import, "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans":alias, "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans":bean, wc[##other:"http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"]}' expected. 

this xml file loading beans from:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"     xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"     xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"     xsi:schemalocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd     http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.0.xsd      http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">      <beans profile="dev">      <!-- define component scan targets -->      <context:component-scan base-package="com.sheidaei.chnlsales.web.service" />      <bean id="ewuser" class="com.sheidaei.chnlsales.web.model.ewuser" scope="session">         <aop:scoped-proxy proxy-target-class="true"/>     </bean>  </beans>  </beans> 

any ideas on why getting error? seems expecting other profile @ point. can't use profile after beans? using spring 3.2 , according spring can use profiles after spring 3.1 http://spring.io/blog/2011/02/11/spring-framework-3-1-m1-released/

instead of "spring-beans-3.0.xsd", use "spring-beans.xsd" in "xsi:schemalocation".

as best practice, not specify version number in spring schema references. spring automatically pick highest version project dependencies.
