Question

I defined the beans definition in country-sg.xml file which I placed in the src/main/resources

Created the root-context.xml and imported above file as , I added root-context file web.xml file.

country-sg.xml file is not loading into context.

Can anyone help how to load this configuration file.

root-context.xml file :

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

    <import resource="classpath*: /country-sg.xml"/>

    <bean
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix">

In order to add the Bean sg in the application context, you have to scan the the configuration class country-sg.xml first. You can achieve this by adding the annotation @ComponentScan("package-of-your-config.xml") at your main class definition header.
