Question

XmlBeanFactory beanFactory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource(
                "application-context.xml"));

My application-context.xml resides inside com.myname.mysubpackage.spring.application-context.xml

How to get it loading…

 new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource(
                "application-context.xml"));

Your file should be directly in your default package .

if you are using maven then best place is to put it in resource dir
