BeanDefinitionParsingException when trying to import application context from another project - spring

Question

I am trying to integrate a springProject having different applicationContext (BeanLocation.xml) to a web project having another applicationContext. But I am unable to do so while deploying my web application. I am getting the following error.
SEVERE: Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Failed to import bean definitions from URL location [classpath:/spring/config/BeanLocations.xml]
Offending resource: ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [spring/config/BeanLocations.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [spring/config/BeanLocations.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

I have tried all possible combination to import BeanLocation.xml but in vain.
I help me to find my mistake, I gone through various post in stackoverflow to integrate different applicationContext but I am unable to fix this problem. I am also attaching some of the screen shots of my project.

Answer 1

Make sure you have BeanLocations.xml file under src/main/resources/spring/config folder of your project, and edit the import resource tag as:
<import resource="classpath*:/spring/config/BeanLocations.xml"/>
or else if it is in same folder where your applicationContext file, then edit the import tag as follows:
<import resource="BeanLocations.xml"/>
