When I open a Spring configuration files at my application on Intellij IDEA sometimes it says
File Set Not Configured For The File
and gives me a link
Configure File Set
When I click it it says:
MVC dispatcher servlet
Create New File Set
or opens a new window cnd let me check some files.
What happens when I click them and what is this for? I click MVC dispatcher Servlet and check the code but doesn’t see any changes.
What it is for?
this is for IDEA to help you out with dependencies between different files.
For example you have “service-spring-config.xml” and “mvc-spring-config.xml”, where the MVC config uses some beans from the Service config. If you add these both files to the “File Set”, IDEA will know that these two files represent a single application context.
By knowing that, it will help you autocomplete beans in XML + will inform you if something is not resolvable without you having to actually run the app.
This is because you only have a single file (for now). Later on, you can add some other configs that use/reference beans from each other => then it’ll become REALLY helpful
From IDEA File Sets documentation:
By combining Spring XML configuration files in a file set you tell IntelliJ IDEA that these files are mutually related. In this way you form a common editing context for these configuration files and get all the associated coding assistance.
