The applicationContext.xml is loaded by the ContextLoadeListener and should contain your shared/global beans. Things like the datasource, jms connecetionfactories, services, repositories etc.

Your dispatcher-servlet.xml is loaded by the DispatcherServlet and should contain only web related things like controllers, viewresolvers, exceptionhandlers etc.

This is a general rule of thumb of course.
