Answer 1

The file applicationContext.xml should be defined in the web descriptor file web.xml, otherwise JBoss/application won't be able to find it. Assuming that you placed applicationContext.xml in \src\main\resources, add this snippet to your web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
