I am trying to run my example which include hibernate3 annotation and Spring but when I am deploying my project it throws this error. Please suggest me where and how to map this xml file.

SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Try to put applicationContext.xml in the src/main/resources folder and just give "applicationContext.xml" as the reference, not "src/main/resources/applicationContext.xml".
If that doesn't work, archive your project, post it somewhere we can download it so we can take a look at it.

In IDE Netbeans I've created a test class with annotations
#ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:spring/spring-test.xml"})
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class).
In Test Packages folder I've create folder spring/spring-test.xml with configuration. But when I've try to run this test file I've got java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext.
What am I doing wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks

It should be useful to see the whole stack trace. However, I would check the test is finding the context xml configuration. The XML should be placed in src/test/resources. Another thing I would check is that all beans are find in this xml. Check any dependency failing to initialise.
I am getting the below exception while starting the application context in websphere.
I have deployed my war on Websphere 8.5.5 with class loading as parent last.

CODE
ApplicationContext ctx=new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Beans.xml");
HelloWorld helloWorld=(HelloWorld)ctx.getBean("Helloworld");
System.out.println(helloWorld.getMessage());
Image
To make your Bean.xml file available to your program in runtime you need
create folder e.g. '01SpringHelloWorld/resource'
put your file here
define this folder as 'resource' folder in IDEA module settings

the error info tell us can't found the Beans.xml resource.
check your spring conf see if exist a spell error in the filename?
Or find the file path
Make sure you have Beans.xml in resources/META-INF folder. and set the path in web.xml like this
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:META-INF/Beans.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
In my web app i'm trying to use spring security. I have the following project structure:
In my web.xml i set the configLocations like this:
And in my HibernateUtil, i create the ClassPathXmlApplicationContext like this:
But, when i execute the app, i get the following errors:

What might be wrong?
See maven war plugin.
Check your target folder actually contains the files.
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-webresources.html
The error is clearly telling you that it cannot find resources/applicationContext.xml in your classpath.
Looking at your code organization, I think the problem is that your Spring applicaitonContext.xml file is directly under WEB-INF and in a typical web-application, this is NOT in the classpath. You would be better off creating a WEB-INF/classes/ folder and putting your applicationContext.xml file in there.
Since the error is complaining about resources/appliationContext.xml you may also need to create a WEB-INF/classes/resources/ folder and put it in there.
