Question

when i put struts.xml in web-inf it is showing error……when i put in src folder it is working fine.(being applicationcontext.xml in web-inf)

(being struts.xml in (src folder or src/resources)) when i put applicationcontext.xml in src folder………it is saying that unable to find applicationcontext.xml in web-inf folder………..it is not able to execute.

how do i configure so that eclipse can find the path of struts.xml or applicationcontext.xml so that wherever i put it should detect it.

the code in web.xml is as follows.

<filter>
        <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

Thank you all.

Configure context-param in web.xml like below:

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value> /WEB-INF/application-context.xml</param-value>
  </context-param>

And put your application-context.xml in WEB-INF folder.
