I\'ve tried to load the spring config file in src/test/resources classpath with the following abstract class:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @ContextCon
There is a reported bug with using the spring-test dependency (includes SpringJUnit4ClassRunner) with versions of JUnit > 4.4.
If you are using a version of JUnit newer than 4.4, trying moving that down to 4.4 and see if it solves your problem.
