how to load more than one xml bean files in spring IOC

Question

how to load more than one bean xml configuration file in springIOC container(either in BeanFactory or in AppilcationContext).

Answer 1

You can specify multiple config files when constructing your application context:

ApplicationContext context = 
    new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {"context1.xml",
          "context2.xml","context3.xml"});

Answer 2

If it is a web application and if you are using WebApplicationContext then in your web.xml you can specify xml files under tag like below

 <context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>
        /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
        /WEB-INF/applicationContext1.xml


     </param-value>
</context-param>
