I am trying to set the configuration location for my Project but I keep getting the following error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource
[main/resources/app-context.xml] cannot be opened because it does not
exist
I have my project set up like this:
And I have my code set up as:
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(configLocation: "main/resources/app-context.xml");
How can I fix this?
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");
The file location/path has to relative to your classpath locations. If resources directory is in your classpath you just need "app-context.xml" as file location.
