Spring - java.io.FileNotFoundException

Question

i am working on a simple spring project ; actually trying the injection through the properties file. i have to get the prop file in my applicationContext.xml file which they are not under the same directry :

/src |_.com.luv2code.springdemo | |_sport.properties |_resources |_applicationContext.xml

Trying to use this , but couldn't figure out the right classpath

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:/sport.properties"/>

Answer 1

1. It should be src/main/com.luv2code… , not just src/com.luv2code… .
2. Slash denotes classpath root, but your resource seem to lay in com.luv2code.springdemo package.
3. Put sport.properties in the resources directory: src/main/resources .
