java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource cannot be opened because it does not exist
What you put directly under src/main/java
is in the default package, at the root of the classpath. It's the same for resources put under src/main/resources
: they end up at the root of the classpath.
So the path of the resource is app-context.xml
, not main/resources/app-context.xml
.
We can also try this solution
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath*:app-context.xml");
in this the spring automatically finds the class in the class path itself
Try this:
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("app-context.xml");
