importing XML config into java config based (annotation) project - spring

Question

I'm working on Spring MVC annotation based application. I have web.xml file entry as follows (using WebConfig.java for configuration):
<servlet>
<servlet-name>sdsdispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextClass</param-name>
<param-value>org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>com.conf.WebConfig</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
Now when I try to integrate security related XML file I'm facing following error
org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'springSecurityFilterChain' is defined
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.getBeanDefinition(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:638)
I tried to import xml file as follows:
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan("com.stk.controller")
#ImportResource({"securityContext.xml"})
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

Answer 1

Add classpath as shown below, provided its in classpath
#ImportResource("classpath:securityContext.xml")
If you have multiple configuration files then
#ImportResource(locations={"classpath:securityContext.xml","file://c:/test-config.xml"})
You can access the file from WEB-INF directory using
#ImportResource("file:**/WEB-INF/securityContext.xml")
However I would recommend you to move configuration file to src/main/resource directory and use the file line that is loading file using classpath. These files will be copied to WEB-INF/classes directory during packing of war by maven which is classpath
