I get this exception when tried to create
ApplicationContext applicationContext;
I have
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>5.1.7.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
also have this in my servlet
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
in my pom.xml, but still getting this msg. I tried mvn.clean
You can create ApplicationContext by 2 ways
1) XML based:
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");
Here beans.xml contains all the bean definitions.
2) Annotations based:
ApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(ApplicationConfiguration.class);
Here, ApplicationConfiguration is annotated with @Configuration annotation.
Also, please make sure that classpath has all the spring jars.
Have you tried:
package com.zoltanraffai;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
public class HelloWorldApp{
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context=new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");
HelloWorld obj = (HelloWorld) context.getBean("helloWorld");
obj.getMessage();
}
}
