I'm going to guess that context.xml doesn't exist on the class path... Like the error message says. Does it?

[David Mbura]

Yes the bean configuration xml file wasn't in the classpath,but now i have built the path for it,stil gives me the same exception.Maybe i am not doing it right,any hints?Thank you

You're not really providing enough information to help, like the relevant code, the deployment structure, how you're trying to run it, etc.
