Where can I find the example applicationContext.xml file

Question

With Spring 3 distribution there was a project folder which was packaged in the distribution . This project folder had sample applicationContext.xml file which can be used . However when I have downloaded Spring 4 distribution from here it does not come with a project folder and I am not able to find the sample applicationContext.xml. Where can I find the example applicationContext.xml file.

Answer 1

You can use this for further information check here.

Below sample contains configuration as follows:

• component-scan base com.foo which thinking as your root folder.
• Basic dataSource definition.
• Property place holder file(database.properties)
• Message Source for localization support.
