applicationContext.xml从src / main / resources复制到/ WEB-INF / classes

Question

however tomcat is throwing the error :

 IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml];

Which suggests that tomcat expects the applicationContext.xml to be one directory above where it is copied to. It is being copied to the /WEB-INF/ classes directory, not just the plain old /WEB-INF

I am using maven.

Answer 1

如果已将其放在src / main / resources下，则应将资源称为classpath:/applicationContext.xml

Answer 2

In your web.xml you can state where your applicationContext.xml is located. If it is in /WEB-INF/classes then you must state /WEB-INF/classes/applicationContext.xml (and not just /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml ).

Try this:

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>
        /WEB-INF/classes/applicationContext.xml
    </param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
    <listener-class>
        org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
    </listener-class>
</listener> 

To include more than one context files you can use the import function. To do so, write into your applicationContext.xml one line per file like this:

<import resource="myOtherSpringContext.xml"/>

Answer 3

Use the following syntax in your web.xml ( http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/context/ContextLoader.html ):

<!-- list of the configuration files to load -->
<context-param>
    <!-- Spring -->
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath*:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

It will load it from the classes/* directory. BTW, if you want to copy the applicationContext.xml directly in your WEB-INF directory, move it in /src/main/webapp

BTW, here is the way recommanded by the spring documentation: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/reference/beans.html#context-create

Answer 4

This is standard Maven behaviour, and is what a lot of people use with no objection. Why do you prefer it in WEB-INF?

Anyway, if you want it there, you can just put it in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF .

Answer 5

the standard way is to create new source dir src/main/webapp . All files from this dir will be places in the same folder as WEB-INF in resulting war. So, inside this new source dir you can create WEB-INF and place you applicationcontext.xml in it.

so you structure would look much like

+src
+---main
+---+---java
+---+---webapp
+---+------WEB-INF
