org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanInitializationException: Could not load properties；

基本报错信息表现为:

严重: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanInitializationException: Could not load properties; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/db.properties]

可能性1:没有引入数据源
在spring-dao.xml添加数据源 (请根据自己的项目引用)

<!--关联数据库配置文件-->

    <context:property-placeholder location="classpath:database.properties"/>

这里有个误区，很多时候我们忘了前面的classpath注意检查
可能性2：applicationContext.xml中没有将spring关联起来

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
    <import resource="spring-dao.xml"/>
    <import resource="spring-service.xml"/>
    <import resource="spring-mvc.xml"/>

</beans>

相当于没有配置上下文

可能性3：引入了数据源但是找不到文件
这个问题目前我只在idea中遇到,myEclipse中没出现过。

找到项目的资源文件(resources),查看是否是这种图标

如果不是则在文件上右键→ Mark Dirextory as

将文件属性设置为 Resources Root 后重新编译项目重试(我这边已经改过了，所以在上面看不到有Resources Root属性)
