Change spring-servlet.xml Filename (Spring Web Contenxt Configuration Filename)

 

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
        org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
    </servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/bean.xml, /WEB-INF/bean-service.xml, 
         /WEB-INF/bean-dao.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

 

Note that in above code snippet, we have passed an init-param to DispatcherServlet called contextConfigLocation. Using this parameter not only can we change the name of Spring’s web context file but also change its location.

This parameter will call setContextConfigLocation method on DispatcherServlet and overrides default context config file. Note that it is possible to add multiple locations separated by any number of commas and spaced.
