Spring MVC : adding securityConfig.xml along with dispatcherContext.xml

Question

I come across this code in my web.xml but I don't understand how to add securityConfig.xml to the classpath along with dispatcherContext.xml

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

can anyone please give me some suggestion

UPDATE

when i include <import resource="classpath:securityConfig.xml" /> in dispatcherContext.xml like as shown below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"

            http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd">

   <import resource="classpath:securityConfig.xml" />

I am getting the below Exception

Just use import within the root context definiton (dispatcherContext.xml in yr case) file :

<!-- Load spring security related configuration -->
<import resource="classpath:securityConfig.xml"/>

But you can supply mutiple by putting a space btween the file names :

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>dispatcherContext.xml securityConfig.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

But what about the classpath, classpath: is missing in <param-value>dispatcherContext.xml securityConfig.xml</param-value>

but got exception -->

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/securityConfig.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/securityConfig.xml]

i have placed the securityConfig.xml in the same place where dispatcherContext.xml is been placed i.e within the resource folder

Alex Man Over a year ago

dispatcherContext.xml is picking up if i remove the dispatcherContext.xml

the convential way is to reference other files from within the xml file, or java class if doing java based conf. Mutlple context definition in the web.xml would imply different applications, but thats not actually what you want.
