I have a web app which is deployed on server. I can access the applicationContext by way which you can see bellow from a servlet.



Now I would like to access it by this way from other part same project:



My problem is I cannot access the xml file when it isn't in main/resources path. I need to have (and I have it there) this xml in main/webapp/WEB-INF.
I have tried different path to this xml but unsuccessully.


Could you help me ?

Use a prefix instead like "http:"

The ClassPathXmlApplicationContext default loading mechanism is to look from the root of the classpath. You cannot go below the root like you are trying to do.

But you can override the default loading mechanism for a resource/file by using a prefix for it. Either "classpath:", "http:" or "file:"

So for your code

ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("../webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml");

change it to

ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("http:WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml");

But to be honest in a web environment it is much cleaner to just use the ContextLoaderListener and WebApplicationContextUtils

Thank for your reply and sorry for my late one.

I would like to use this context access only for testing purposes.

I have in web.xml


And if I use your code from main method:


then I get this exceptions:


Do you have any idea why it is not working for me?
