Spring - ClassPathXmlApplicationContext not able to load the XML file

[marlajee Borstone]

Hi
I am working on a web application project using Spring and hibernate framework.

I have kept all the documents at their proper location, as I beleive. Like:-
I use spring-hibernate.xml file which is placed inside WEB-INF folder and a copy I have kept into 'Build/classes/com/fmt/' folder as well so that during run time the application can find it in CLASSPATH.
Also, in web.xml file:

      <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/fmt-service.xml,/WEB-INF/fmt-servlet.xml,/WEB-INF/spring-hibernate.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

But when I click on submit button on home page, I get this ERROR:-

 
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet fmt threw exception
java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [spring-hibernate.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist
	at org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource.getInputStream(ClassPathResource.java:135)
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader.loadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader.java:307)
   

I am sure the location of spring-hibernate.xml is not proper here - and I missing to find the exact location where it needs to be placed so that java code

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring-hibernate.xml");

can find it.

your class path is incorrect. Set the correct classpath in "spring-hibernate.xml" and restart the application.

Thanks,
