web.xml classpath 和 WEB-INF 区别

1.加载WEB-INF文件夹下配置

<context-param>
       <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
       <param-value>WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

2. 首先 classpath是指 WEB-INF文件夹下的classes目录

<context-param>
       <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
       <param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

3. classpath 和 classpath* 区别： 
classpath：只会到你的class路径中查找找文件; 
classpath*：不仅包含class路径，还包括jar文件中(class路径)进行查找. 

<context-param>
       <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
       <param-value>classpath*:applicationContext.xml</param-value>

</context-param>
