How to exclude test folder from component scan annotation in spring

Question

App
|-src
    |-com
        |-xx
            |-model
                |-IclassA.java
                    |-impl
                        |-ClassA.java
|-test
    |-com
        |-xx
            |-model
                |-Conf.java
                    |-impl
                        |-ClassATest.java

i have an XML file for the productions and a java conf file for the tests

In the Conf.java i have a bean deceleration for ClassA and i'm using it in the test as

 @ContextConfiguration(classes = Conf.class)

In the xml i have <context:component-scan base-package="com.xx.*" /> , the problem is that this scan is scanning the test folder as well and recognize like i have 2 deceleration of ClassA, one in the XML and one in the Conf.java file.

Is there away to exclude the scan for the test folder?

I'm wondering if the the underlying issue might be that your test classes are on your runtime class path. — Stormcloud, May 25 '16 at 10:11
I created the project with intellij as spring .. did not change anything — USer22999299, May 25 '16 at 14:47

Try to use context:exclude-filter

<context:component-scan base-package="com.xx.*">
    <context:exclude-filter type="regex" expression="**.*Test"/>
 </context:component-scan>
