How can I import a xml bean configuration file to a @configuration class in spring?

I have a huge xml that I want to import at it is now on my spring app.

Checking the docs, http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/context/annotation/Configuration.html I found I can do something like this

@PropertySource("classpath:/resources/applicationContex.xml")

My resources folder is under /src/main

But I get a file no exists error, any idea if this is the correct way to do it? or is my path wrongly defined?

As @Sotirios says in his comment, you should remove the /resources prefix. But you're also using the wrong annotation: @PropertySource is used to import property files. You should use the @ImportResource annotation.

@Configuration
@ImportResource("classpath:applicationContext.xml")
public class AppConfig {

    // define more beans, wire beans defined in the xml, etc
}

Note: You might also have a typo: you were pointing to a file named applicationContex.xml. Shouldn't it be applicationContext.xml instead? (Note the final t before the .xml extension).
