I have tried :

XmlBeanFactory beanFactory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("\\src\\com\\spr\\main\\contextApplication.xml"));

and

XmlBeanFactory beanFactory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("\\src\\com\\spr\\main\\contextApplication.xml"));

and the contextApplication.xml path is src/com/spr/main/

Answer 1

Change your declaration from

XmlBeanFactory beanFactory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("\\src\\com\\spr\\main\\contextApplication.xml"));

to

XmlBeanFactory beanFactory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("com\\spr\\main\\contextApplication.xml"));

dont forget to check filename.
