We are using Spring 4.3.5 in our application. While we try to uplift the Spring to 5.3.7, we are not able to initialize beans(inside "beanRefFactory.xml") inside the below tag-
<context-param>
<param-name>locatorFactorySelector</param-name>
<param-value>/beanRefFactory.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
Upon searching we found that "locatorFactorySelector" or "LOCATOR_FACTORY_KEY_PARAM" have been deprecated in Spring 5.0.0.M5. Details can be found here.
Kindly suggest if there is any other way to initialize "beanRefFactory.xml". We are using XML based configuration.
PS: have already gone through the answers, but no help.
