Spring-boot automatically import applicationContext.xml?

Question

I'm using spring-boot and would like to automatically import src/main/resources/applicationContext.xml file.

So far it only works if I explicit tell spring to import it:

@EnableAutoConfiguration
@Configuration
@ImportResource({"classpath*:applicationContext.xml"})

But spring-boot has so many default, maybe someone knows the "default" name for the app.xml file so that is gets picked up by spring-boot by default?

If it's a part of web application then you can use default name to load spring application context. If the name of servlet-name is xyz for DispatcherServlet in web.xml then it will load xyz-servlet.xml file automatically from class-path where you can import other spring configuration files using <import resource="abc.xml" /> — Braj

It's a simple webapplication that should host a single SOAP webservice. So I have no explicit servlet name. The soap is wired by cxf. — membersound

There is no such feature for importing an XML configuration by default based on it's name or location.

Check out this part of the documentation.

Correct. However, spring boot application can be used to import .properties (.yml) files automatically from classpath as a part of @EnableAutoConfiguration module.

@AbhishekShah That is true and is meant to include configuration properties. What OP is asking is whether or not a way Spring Boot would automatically import any specific XML files that define Spring beans

Agreed. Apologized for misunderstood. There no such kind of feature for auto import XML file for spring beans. You must have to specify it in your configuration class.
