HandlerInterceptorAdaptarer Spring - Invalid content was found starting at element 'bean'

I am trying to make HandlerInterceptorAdaptarer work.

My class that extends HandlerInterceptorAdapter

package br.com.caelum.tarefas.interceptor;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.HandlerInterceptorAdapter;

public class AutorizadorInterceptor extends HandlerInterceptorAdapter{

    public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response,Object controller){
        String uri = request.getRequestURI();
        if(uri.endsWith("loginForm") || uri.endsWith("efetuaLogin") || uri.contains("resources")){
            return true;
        }

        if(request.getSession().getAttribute("usuarioLogado") != null){
            return true;
        }

        return false;       
    }

}

      

        
        
        
      

    

After that I went to my servlet-context.xml and added

<interceptors>
    <bean class="br.com.caelum.tarefas.interceptor.AutorizadorInterceptor" />
</interceptors>

      

        
        
        
      

    

The fully servlet-context.xml became:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">

    <interceptors>
        <bean class="br.com.caelum.tarefas.interceptor.AutorizadorInterceptor" />
    </interceptors>


</beans:beans>

      

        
        
        
      

    

For reference, my web.xml is -

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Eclipse already showed me:

cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with 
 element 'bean'. One of '{"http://www.springframework.org/
 schema/beans":bean, "http://www.springframework.org/schema/

When I try to run the application, I get:

type Exception report

I checked several other questions, but all I found was that some of them were missing xmlns: beans = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" and mine is ...

@Edit Changed servlet-context.xml file to

<interceptors>
        <interceptor>
            <beans:bean class="br.com.caelum.tarefas.interceptor.AutorizadorInterceptor" />
        </interceptor>
    </interceptors>

      

        
        
        
      

    

The error displayed now:

HTTP Status 500 - Servlet.init() for servlet appServlet threw exception

type Exception report
