java.io.FileNotFoundException: [WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

In/src/main/java/com/application/myGoogleAppEngine/controller/AddressController.java, I want to use this instructions for using the beans by after : 

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml");

My spring-servlet.xml file sits in /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/ directory.

When I execute my spring application, I've the following error : 

java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

In my memories, I know that we can use a function to obtain the current directory of the project but I don't remember.

Otherwise, do you have any solutions ?

Thank you

you can check the web.xml location. If this is not correct it will throw an error.

use this way

new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext( "classpath*:**/servlet.xml")

This will search whole WEB-INF folder for given name

The WEB-INF directory is not typically put on the classpath. Therefore you won't be able to get anything within it as a resource, ie. what ClassPathXmlApplicationContext is trying to do.

Put your spring-servlet.xml in a directory that is put on the classpath, ie. WEB-INF/classes.
